Our mission is simple: to help you discover, equip, and express your God-given mandate in the marketplace. Whether your grace leans apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, or teaching, we’ll help you identify it, align it with your passion, and walk boldly in purpose.

The Holy Spirit

The presence of the Holy Spirit is the most important thing for a marketplace minster who is also an Entrepreneur.

Love

Love is borne out of a clean heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. – 1 Timothy 1:5.

Peace

Great peace have they whose minds are stayed on God. – Isaiah 23:6

Integrity

The character of a man speaks louder than his words. We stand for justice and humanity no matter what we are faced and do not bring down our standards for earthly gains. Psalm 15

Practice of Righteousness

Our word is our bond and we do not believe in winning by dubious means. You definitely can win righteously. – Proverbs 14:3.

Prayer

We believe in constant communication with God. We pray without ceasing, constantly inquiring of the Lord for direction and the grace to stay in His will.

Diligence

“Show me a man diligent in his works, he shall stand before Kings and not mere men” – Proverbs 22:29. The presence of the grace of God does not rule out the importance of working hard.

Sacrificial living and giving

For the sake of the kingdom of God, we give of our time, finances and other resources required. – Ecclesiastes 11:2.

Fasting

Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline. Godly fasting with prayer releases power that can transform your life.
