The Christian Women’s Business Network (CWBN) wrapped up its year with a Thanksgiving prayer and networking breakfast.

On December 10, in Wendywood, they brought together entrepreneurs, professionals, and ministry leaders for a morning of reflection and renewed intention.

The organisation’s founder, Kea Modise-Moloto, reminded attendees that CWBN is no longer a quiet, local initiative. What began eight years ago has grown into a national platform with a presence in every province and, more recently, an international footprint. “This year, we were blessed to launch in Zambia. It’s the first country outside South Africa where we’ve taken the network. We are building something that isn’t just South African. It’s a global business network.”

The event wasn’t structured around speeches or business strategy. Instead, it focused on pausing before the rush into the new year. Women stepped away from their offices to sit together, pray, connect, and, for a moment, let go of the pressure that comes with leading careers, households, and businesses.

The heart of the morning was what members call a Habakkuk 2:2 moment. Each woman wrote down her commitments and prayer points for 2026, grounding her plans in faith and accountability.

It wasn’t a sentimental exercise; it was a recognition that clarity matters and that intention becomes more powerful when shared within a supportive community.

For many, the gathering felt like a reset button after a demanding year. Conversations flowed easily between women who call one another sister-friends, a term CWBN uses to emphasise connection, instead of competition.
