You Can Start a Business

This 10 part video presentation aims to develop entrepreneurship on a biblical foundation but geared for the general public. The series was developed by the ICCC International on the request of the government of China for a programme that would help to develop entrepreneurship in their nation. It has since been aired repeatedly on Chinese national television to over 240 million viewers.

The Chinese government has since requested that Part 2 be developed. The Chamber plans on using this same tool through seminars to assist in the development of entrepreneurship and small business in our nation. Dates and locations would be posted soon. The material is practical starting with the basics and concluding with the development of a business plan that can be used by participants to seek financing.

Transformed Work Life - Teaching Seminar

This is a series of teaching seminars on biblical principles in the workplace and business. Training sessions would be conducted in the near future using this material.
