We have gone through some annual cycles of Economic Empowerment Expos where we exhibited products and services at E3. This year as we started preparing for E3 we had a divine interruption. In the past our strategy was to seek exhibitors from the public to patronize the event. This year however, the Lord had us revise our strategy which was counterproductive. The original purpose of E3 was to give exposure to Christian owned businesses but then the reality is that there very few Christian owned businesses.
Most Christians have either not started pursuit of their dream venture or are at an infant stage struggling with teething issues. It is obvious that most Christians need help with their dream ventures.
For this reason, we are convening a retreat this year to take a new and dynamic approach to incubate and boost Christian ventures. Christians who have a dream venture or already in operation require a support system.
Favor Alliance would host ‘Monthly Online Networking Mixers on the Cibunet Platform to provide a support forum for the development of enterprises. The Mixer would be approximately two hours in duration. It would feature Coaching , Planning, Networking, Funding as well as Prayer Sessions.
This would afford Christians an opportunity to Learn kingdom practices for the marketplace, Share testimonies and Connect with resources and referrals to advance our dreams to realization.
The first ‘Monthly Online Networking Mixer’ is scheduled for Saturday July 21st, 2018. Time is 10am – 12noon. Platform – favoralliance.cibunet.com
