End of Year Impact Story – north america
In the region of North America, this year saw the further intertwinement between faith and business, allowing the further advancement of the mission of the Nehemiah Entrepreneurship Community to build Kingdom businesses globally. As a region that is no stranger to diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and economic opportunities, it is fertile ground for Biblical Entrepreneurship to continue to grow and flourish.
Biblical Entrepreneurship is rooted in the belief that business can be a vehicle for spreading values, serving others, and making a positive impact on society. It draws inspiration from biblical principles such as integrity, stewardship, compassion, and a focus on the greater good of our community. This region has seen numerous entrepreneurs embrace the principles of Biblical Entrepreneurship, incorporating them into their businesses.

Since launching in September 2022, the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Center has made remarkable strides in building a strong presence within the community. With Trudy Hankins as Center Director, the center has established over 40 meaningful points of contact, notably its Chamber of Commerce. This has paved the way for further collaboration and mutual growth. This year saw the center host the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference for the first time, which provided the opportunity for its attendees to learn about Biblical Entrepreneurship, with 69% of them hearing about Nehemiah for the first time. Moreover, the conference also saw the establishment of a viable relationship with Zondra TV Network, which has opened up doors for increased visibility and outreach.
The center looks to continue to skillfully capitalize on the potential of such conferences by creating profitable systems that harness this revenue stream effectively. Aside from that, the center aims to continue to educate and empower. With more than 58 coaching hours, 6 courses offered, and an ever-increasing number of members, the DFW Center is truly just scratching the surface of its tremendous potential.
