We’ve heard stories of Christian entrepreneurs facing the dilemma of having to choose between full-time business and full-time ministry. Not that there should be a tension point because as many entrepreneurs have proven, one can step into one’s purpose and pursue those entrepreneurial dreams while leading others to Christ and creating a far greater impact in the world.
Today, we hear the story of entrepreneurial dreams fulfilled while creating opportunities for people to thrive and engaging them for Kingdom initiatives.
