Appreciation Post 🎉 Our brother and fellow worker in the Kingdom, @timgkay, joined us last night during the Bootcamp session to deliver a very powerful reminder in our devotional. He urged our entrepreneurs to be missional about business—building a Kingdom focused business.

Loved having Prof. Jason MacGregor from Baylor Uni talk at our online Bootcamp. Jason and Baylor are among some of our biggest partners and supporters.
Appreciation Post 🎉 Look who turned up during our last night’s Bootcamp session! Jason MacGregor!!! Joining us all the way from Waco, TX, Jason encouraged our entrepreneurs to be critical thinkers NOT critically spirited. That’s how to lead effectively. #avodagroup #fiatlux
