Erika Coetzee first joined a Faith Driven Entrepreneur group early in 2021 as a means to connect with other business owners who understood the struggles she faced. She enjoyed the experience so much that she felt called to share it with others.
“I was so excited about the content and meeting amazing people from around the world that I desperately wanted everyone around me to experience it, too.”
The group drastically changed Erika’s perspective about how her work could glorify God. Before joining, she felt a great deal of self-inflicted pressure that began to lift off her shoulders as she engaged with the content and discussions.
“It was a great relief when the fact that my business wasn’t mine at all but that I was simply co-creating with God finally sunk in. It caused me to rely more on the Father and consequently deepened my relationship with Him.”
Erika sensed a call to share her experience with others, so she began facilitating groups with other Christian entrepreneurs in the area and around the world. That decision to multiply what God had done in her life led to some incredible fruit for others.
“It’s a great support and encouragement to know you what a group of likeminded business friends who are there to not only love and encourage you but to also challenge and hold you accountable.”
Since parnering with Faith Driven Entrepreneur, Olive Tree Durban has been able to:
Find relief from the pressures of business ownership
Cultivate a community of like-minded business owners
Foster loving relationships that both challenge and provide accountability
