Local Community, Global Connection
— by The Faith Driven Entrepreneur Africa Team
The world is increasingly connected. And with this connection comes a growing opportunity for us to accelerate trust, share knowledge, and inspire faith across borders and ethnicities.
To make that happen—to further propel this global Faith Driven Movement forward—there is an invitation for every nation, tribe, language, and people to join with one another. And together we can make it easier for anyone to know Faith Driven Entrepreneur in their own neighborhood.
We can truly be a local community that is globally connected. It has already begun to take root in Africa.
The size and population of this continent, along with its diverse cultures, provide us with rich insights into God and his creativity. Africa is an exciting frontier in the global marketplace.
Africa is the world’s largest growing continent in terms of population.
50% of the population in Africa is under 20, and 60% is under 25 years old – making Africa the world’s youngest continent.
1.3 billion people already live in Africa—more people than in Europe and North America combined.
40% of Africans now live in urban areas.
And we’re thrilled to highlight the many influential voices of innovators and business owners across this region of the world. Our prayer is that a generation will be inspired to see and learn from an impressive and growing number of entrepreneurs who are pursuing their God-breathed call to create.
“Africa is a fundamental part of the global economy…There are people building businesses across our continent…continental businesses…huge businesses. It’s a vibrant, young market with lots of energy, talent, and skills.” —Strive Masiyiwa, founder, Cassava Technologies and Econet Wireless
So what can you expect from Faith Driven Entrepreneur Africa?
Through the power of stories—a weekly podcast, video content, blogs, and more—we hope to highlight a continuing conversation of how businesses are flourishing. And we want to showcase how God’s redemptive work is alive and well in the Christ-following entrepreneurs of Africa today.
And while our focus is primarily on the continent, we’re excited to share a worldwide perspective as well. In addition to African voices, we’ll also feature the stories and experiences of like-minded entrepreneurs from around the world who we think have important things to say no matter where they call home.
We’re all part of a vibrant and growing community. The industry and address may look different, and yet our shared identity is firmly rooted in Christ.
You don’t have to hop on a plane to find this movement. It’s wherever you are. And the origin story is just as deeply rooted in Nairobi, Lagos, and Cape Town as it might be in Dallas, Singapore, and London.
Perhaps you come for the content. And yet there’s much more to experience for those who take the next step and join a Faith Driven Entrepreneur Group.
Whether online or in person. There’s no cost, no catch. Joining a group means locking arms with a community of people who, perhaps for the first time in your life, can really empathize with your journey of entrepreneurship.
Come for the content. Stay for the community … Welcome to Faith Driven Entrepreneur.
