How to get started with passive income in Africa
On this episode, host Patrice Tsague welcomes Rina Hicks, a prominent figure in African finance, to discuss best investment practices for businesses and the best investment avenues for passive income.
Rina is a principal at Faida Investment Bank, the CEO of RH Group, and the creator of Investible, a financial investment product in Kenya.
In addition to her business ventures, Rina is a best-selling author, a highly regarded podcast host, and the recipient of multiple awards, including the Angaza Awards for Top Women to Watch in Finance in Africa in 2022 and the winner of the 2021 Nehemiah Week International Business Plan Competition. As a dedicated mother of three and wife to a loving husband, Rina’s experiences and insights offer valuable guidance for those looking to start or enhance their passive income journey.
When investing in Africa, it’s not just about the returns; investors can make a significant impact on the lives of the people they are helping. Many African companies are solving real problems and addressing critical needs, such as supply chain challenges, financial services access, and infrastructure development.
The case for investing in Africa lies in the diverse opportunities available across various sectors, including agribusiness, telecommunications, financial services, marketing, and sales. In contrast to markets like the US, where small businesses must innovate significantly to compete with large corporations, Africa allows entrepreneurs to create their own space and achieve remarkable results. By investing in Africa, investors can not only generate income but also contribute to the social and economic development of the continent.
Join us for the upcoming Global Forum to learn more about investment opportunities in Africa and around the world. Rina Hicks and other financial experts will be there to share their insights and strategies to help you create passive income and make a lasting impact.

New Book Alert: “If You’re Going Through Hell Keep Going!”
In this episode, host Patrice Tsague is joined by Kim Billips, the author of “If You’re Going Through Hell Keep Going!” and Director of Creative Marketing at Timothy Partners, a valued partner and sponsor of the Nehemiah Project.
In this podcast, Kim shares her personal journey, which led to the creation of her upcoming book. Through the lens of her own experiences, Kim discusses how to handle life’s trials and challenges, particularly for women.
If you’ve ever faced adversity or wondered how to keep going in difficult times, this conversation is not to be missed. Kim’s story offers valuable insights and inspiration to help you navigate through life’s toughest moments
How Did the Book “If You’re Going Through Hell Keep Going” Come to Be?
Kim Billips’ journey that inspired her book “If You’re Going Through Hell Keep Going” began with her upbringing in a Christian household. Her initial aspirations were to attend the Juilliard School of Music and become a professional percussionist, but instead, she pursued a degree in Spanish in Central Florida and Spain, where she met her husband.
After having three children, life took a turn for the worse when Kim discovered her husband’s betrayal, just three days after her 40th birthday. This difficult event led to her experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, which manifested in a familial tremor.
During this challenging period, Kim found solace in a quote by Sir Winston Churchill, which would become the title of her book: “If You’re Going Through Hell Keep Going.” However, her health continued to decline, and she was eventually diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, much to her shock and disbelief.
Despite her young age and being a woman, she had defied the odds and developed a condition typically associated with older men. Through her book, Kim shares her story of resilience, faith, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
If you want to hear more about Kim’s journey and how she managed to find hope and encouragement in the midst of adversity, watch the full episode on YouTube. You’ll be inspired by her courage, faith, and ability to keep going despite the circumstances.

How to Move From Debt to Wealth in 2023
This episode “Debt to Wealth,” features Di Darienzo, Managing Director at United Financial Freedom.
Patrice Tsague and Di explore the importance of moving from debt to wealth and the upcoming Global Forum on Passive Income. As the opposite of debt is wealth, it’s essential to address and eliminate debt in order to build a successful passive income journey.
With over 25 years of experience in the financial industry, Di shares how United Financial Freedom assists families in building wealth tax-free and risk-free, creating a sustainable passive residual income for life.
Di’s Incredible Story: From Debt to Wealth
In 1995, Di faced an incredibly challenging situation when her children’s father had a severe accident, leaving him with significant memory loss and partial paralysis. At that time, she had no life insurance, and with three young children to care for, she opened a daycare to make ends meet.
Seven years later, her brother introduced her to a financial advisor who informed her that the life insurance policy she had purchased was not suited to her needs. Moreover, Di had accumulated considerable debt from mortgages, credit cards, student loans, car payments, and a timeshare.
Despite being skeptical at first, she decided to do her research and discovered that the financial advisor was indeed correct. He showed her that she could pay off 28 years’ worth of debt in just 13 years, and that investing wasn’t exclusive to the ultra-wealthy.
This revelation marked the beginning of Di’s journey to financial freedom and led her to help others achieve the same success.
So, How Can You Move From Debt to Wealth?
Di’s solution to moving from debt to wealth involves helping people change their conditioning and beat the banks at their own game. She explains that many of the traditional beliefs about money and finance are wrong, and understanding interest is the key to mastering wealth.
To help clients achieve financial freedom, Di uses a “financial GPS” called Money Max Account. This web-based, interactive system tracks all your debts, income, and living expenses, without requiring any refinancing, restructuring, or changes to your budget or lifestyle.
The Money Max Account shows the fastest way to eliminate debt and demonstrates the cause and effect of every financial decision you make before you make it.
This system can also be applied to businesses and churches, helping them to eliminate their mortgages and other debts. “The ultimate goal is not just to be debt-free, but to accumulate wealth and achieve massive passive income.”
Our Upcoming Global Forum on Passive Income
Di Darienzo will be sharing her incredible story of moving from debt to wealth at our upcoming Global Forum on Passive Income.
From overcoming her own personal struggles to becoming an expert in managing finances, Di has made it her mission to assist others in breaking free from the shackles of debt and building a financially secure future.
The forum, scheduled for the 20th of April, will also feature other renowned financial experts such as Ron Wilkinson, Founder of Security First Advisors; Tanisha Souza ESQ, CEO of Tardus Wealth Strategies; and Blair Nightingale, Coach at Tradeway.
Together, these experts will share their insights and strategies to empower attendees with the knowledge they need to take control of their financial lives.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from these professionals and equip yourself with the tools and strategies needed to move from debt to wealth.

The Upcoming Iron Sharpening Iron Conference
In this episode, Patrice Tsague sat down with two dynamic women from Texas, Trudy Hankins, E-Community Center Director for Dallas, and Zondra Evans, owner, and CEO of Zondra TV. They discussed the upcoming Iron Sharpening Iron Conference, an event aimed at equipping, inspiring, and connecting entrepreneurs looking to build kingdom businesses globally.
The conference, scheduled for April 14th from 10 am to 2 pm in Plano, Texas, promises to be an exceptional experience for entrepreneurs. For only $40, attendees can expect lunch, numerous networking opportunities, and presentations from Patrice, Trudy, and Zondra.
Trudy is excited about the event, describing it as a chance for entrepreneurs to genuinely engage in the iron sharpening iron principle, pushing each other to new levels of success. With dynamic speakers like Patrice and Zondra, attendees can be assured of leaving inspired and informed.
Who is Zondra?
Zondra is the founder and CEO of Zondra TV, and is passionate about advocating for small business entrepreneurs. After spending 40 years in corporate America, she decided it was time to serve the world and create a legacy for herself. Recognizing that small businesses often get left behind, Zondra wanted to provide a platform where they could share their stories and experiences.
In contrast to the typical five minutes of exposure that small entrepreneurs might receive on a popular morning show, Zondra decided to give them 30 minutes on her platform to share their journey. She believes that these stories can inspire and encourage others to prevail in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
To further support small business entrepreneurs, Zondra also built an academy as part of her network. Through the academy, she helps entrepreneurs become TV producers and streams their content across various platforms, creating additional monetization strategies and revenue streams for them. This approach provides entrepreneurs with the exposure they need to thrive, as well as practical skills and resources to help them grow their businesses successfully.
What is the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference about?
The Iron Sharpening Iron Conference promises to be a transformative experience for entrepreneurs looking to build kingdom businesses. With insightful talks, meaningful connections, and practical advice from seasoned professionals like Trudy and Zondra, attendees can expect to leave inspired and equipped to take their businesses to the next level.
Trudy also shared the vision and purpose behind the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference. As the Dallas E-Community Center opened in September and serves entrepreneurs across the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex, Trudy wanted to find a way to connect people from such a vast area. She ultimately decided on hosting Zoom calls on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month and holding in-person meetings quarterly.
The upcoming conference serves as the first in-person meeting, providing entrepreneurs with an opportunity to refresh, renew, and reset their mindset. By attending the conference and staying connected through the bi-monthly Zoom calls, entrepreneurs can build a strong community and reinforce the idea that they are not walking alone in their journey.
The Dallas E-Community Center caters to entrepreneurs at various stages of the business lifecycle, from discovery to succession. Whether they are just starting out, breaking even, or looking to scale, the center aims to help businesses become sustainable and successful. By attending the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference and participating in the wider community, entrepreneurs from all walks of life can find valuable support, resources, and connections to help them thrive.
The Iron Sharpening Iron Conference Objectives
In addition to the support and resources already discussed, the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference will also address three key pain points that entrepreneurs often face:
Exit strategy concerns:
Many entrepreneurs work hard to make a profit but struggle with planning for an eventual exit from their business. The conference will address this pain point by offering insights and ideas on passive income streams and strategies to ensure a successful exit.
Marketing challenges:
Entrepreneurs often feel lost when it comes to marketing their businesses and need guidance on boosting their efforts. Zondra will be providing valuable information and support in this area, helping attendees improve their marketing strategies and outcomes.
Identity and self-worth:
A common issue for entrepreneurs is not fully understanding their true potential and purpose, leading to feelings of inadequacy and the pressure to imitate others. The conference will tackle this pain point by helping attendees recognize their unique strengths and talents and embrace their individual paths to success.
What Will I Gain from Attending the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference?
According to Zondra, attendees will walk away with alternative, cost-effective strategies to market their businesses and create a digital strategy tailored to their needs. There will be a visual demonstration of Zondra TV’s studio, highlighting its growth and evolution. Participants will also gain insights into the importance of having a strategic plan and exit strategy for their businesses.
According to Trudy, one of the most significant takeaways from the conference is the introduction of a communication tool that can help improve relationships both in business and personal life, such as marriages. This tool will aid in addressing communication conflicts within the workplace, between staff members, and even in personal relationships. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and learn how to effectively communicate with others.
By attending the Iron Sharpening Iron Conference, participants will not only learn from the experiences of successful entrepreneurs like Zondra and Trudy but also gain valuable tools and strategies to help their businesses thrive.

Religious Freedom in the Marketplace
Are you a Christian business owner struggling to exercise your religious freedom? Do you feel alone and unsure of how to navigate the tension between violating your conscience and religious expression and violating a governmental mandate? As Christians, we are called to have compassion, love our neighbor, and love those around us who may not live or believe like we do, but what do you do when you become the target of today’s Cancel Culture? Have you wondered, “What now? What next?” and uncertain where to turn to?
On this podcast, Patrice Tsague introduces Shannon Royce, President of the Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) and guest panelist on the January 25, 2023 Nehemiah E-Community Global Forum on Religious Freedom in the Marketplace: How to be Salt and Light in a Hostile Environment.

The Gift of Business – EC Podcast: Host Patrice Tsague with the E-Community Leaders
For this year’s Giving Tuesday, Patrice met up with E-community leaders across the globe to see the impact of their work, and the powerful stories behind their inspiring initiatives.
The Gift of Business: Texas, USA
First up is Trudy Hankins, who is the newest member on board. She’s the director of the new E-community Center in Dallas Fort Worth that was launched on 14th September. Passionate about her mission and vision for the center, Trudy shares how it’s helping to empower local entrepreneurs.
The Gift of Business: Bulgaria
Patrice also speaks to Arman & Petya Lalane, a couple working with Bulgarian biblical entrepreneurs. It’s amazing how the pair manage to run their operations from California while supporting entrepreneurs in Bulgaria. Their story is a powerful testament to the power of global connection and support.
According to Arman, when you impact 6% of entrepreneurs in a country, you impact the whole nation and its economy. Every dollar counts in making the training and coaching program affordable for Bulgarians.
The Gift of Business: Florida, USA
Patrice also talks to Samuel Lowry, who amazingly works alongside his mom Ana Maria Lowry who’s the founder and CEO of A & P International and director of the E-Community Center in Orlando, Florida that works with the Hispanic community. Seeing that the Hispanic community is the largest minority group in the USA, the Orlando Center offers training and coaching programs in both English and Spanish.
Samuel also points out how they are supporting immigrants by assisting them in starting businesses and leading to financial freedom–and that donor funds would help them make an even greater impact.
The Gift of Business: Asia Pacific
Moving on to Asia, Patrice speaks to Poh Sim Saw, the director for the Asia Pacific region to discuss the impact of the Nehemiah Project. Poh Sim Saw explains how the Nehemiah Project is helping to empower Asian entrepreneurs to build sustainable enterprises and businesses, tackling issues such as poverty, and lack of access to resources.
She shares an inspiring story of Joy and Jino, a couple that took second place in the International Business Plan Competition this year. They were only able to do so because they received a subsidy for the BE Course, which they otherwise could not afford.
Poh Sim Saw explains that the success of Joy and Jino shows that through Nehemiah Project, they are able to provide access to resources and knowledge to people who would not have had it before, and make an impact through job creation, economic empowerment, and social development.
Donating to our cause will go a long way in Asia. Many entrepreneurs need help launching their businesses, and with your donation, we can continue translating our courses into Mandarin, Hindu, and Thai.
The Gift of Business: Nairobi, Kenya
To wrap it up, Patrice speaks to Frank Kitonga, the Founder of Blueflame International and Country Director of Nehemiah Project Kenya. Kenya has had great success in the International Business Plan competition having won the last three years in a row.
Frank explains how Nehemiah Project has helped entrepreneurs there to access capital, build businesses, and create jobs, giving examples of the current IBPC winner, Dominic Gitau, who grew up in the slums but has managed to transform his life and is creating employment to help other people in his community, and that of Rina Hicks, who won the IBPC in 2021, and is making a difference through financial inclusion.
Nehemiah Project Kenya has also managed to start a radio station, Hope Fm which is among the top three currently in Kenya and hopefully will make it to the top when they include programs in Swahili. Frank also hopes to have the BE, Business Success Accelerator, Identity and Destity and the Sustainable Church Initiative programs translated into Swahili to make more impact, not only in Kenya but also in Africa at large. However, this is only possible with your support.
