What to expect
You will meet Christian entrepreneurs who have worked out how faith belongs in a venture, sit with the harder questions where theology and work meet, get practical help with what you are facing now, build a network across South Africa, and hear from young African leaders launching redemptive ventures.
Triga is the first community that I've seen that carries the perfect balance of equipping leaders with practical tools, keeping people and community upliftment as the core focus and using the life and teachings of Jesus as the foundations.
