Kingdom Business initiative unites Christian entrepreneurs through prayer hike
A group of Christian business leaders gathered for a fulfilling and transforming session of prayer through a hike.
In April, residents from eMalahleni embarked on a prayer hike organised by Pretty Mathabela, founder of Kingdom Business initiative, at Ribbokkloof Resort, in an attempt to encourage unity and collaboration among Christian business leaders.
'I have committed myself to creating a community of Christian businessmen and women where we can learn from each other and support each other through this journey,' Pretty said.
The hike aimed to provide a platform for Christians in business to come together, pray, network, and learn from each other's experiences.
Among the hikers were esteemed speakers such as Apostle Calvin Mabedle and Prophetess Tsakani Mabedle, who are founders and pastors of Bread at the Well Bethel, as well as Nonkululeko Shabangu and Shanice Zwane.
Shanice shared her inspiring journey of building her hair salon from scratch, while Nonkululeko spoke about the importance of investing in Kingdom Businesses and the concept of tithes unlocking generational wealth.
Apostle Calvin, on the other hand, emphasised the need to seek God's wisdom in business partnerships.
The hike took participants on a scenic route at the resort, where they experienced a range of emotions, from the frustration and exhaustion of climbing steep mountains to the joy of being victorious enough to make it to the end.
All the participants agreed that the experience was refreshing and rejuvenating, and they are already looking forward to the next gathering.
'Thanks for this experience, I enjoyed it and it was really worth it. I am looking forward to more of this kind of hike,' said Tshebeletso Meselane, one of the hikers who attended.
