Woman, Dream Big

Female entrepreneurship was the theme that the Women’s Ministries team of the Franco-Belgian Union wanted to share with women of all ages during the event on June 12.
The objective was to remind that God has deposited a dream in the heart of each person and that he waits patiently not only to reveal it to us but also to team up with him to fully embrace this blessed plan for our lives.
The word entreprendre (undertake) is defined as to set out to do something. This is the message that the team wanted to pass on to women and also to men; set them on the path to take action.
During her sermon, Karine Eloidin, pastor-treasurer of the North France Conference, through the story of Esther, led the participants to reflect on the question of God's call for us "And who knows but that you have come to your (royal) position for such a time as this?”? When God places a dream on our hearts, our mission is to impact our environment. Undertaking a project or an activity is a tool that God uses to make Himself known more and to touch the greatest number of people.
God can call anyone for a specific purpose, as he did with Esther. Knowing who you are and who you want to be are essential keys to start a project.
Ludivine Gustave and Sonia Tesor shared advice for women who want to start an enterprise. First of all, you have to know yourself, ask yourself the right questions, and know who you want to be, what kind of leader you want to be. Obstacles can sometimes prevent us from launching out, that's why being aware of the value of what we offer, allows us to propose a fair price for our services.
We all have at least one dream, let's consider it in the light of God, let's develop a deep and close intimacy with God to walk faithfully in the footsteps of Jesus; to undertake something with faith and boldness to impact our neighborhood.
We hope that this theme will help many people to become aware of their dream and to take action to put it into practice.
