Inspiring Creativity in Gdansk Poland

October saw Ian travel to Gdansk Poland as keynote speaker at the 'Be Creative' Kingdom Business Summit for Christian business leaders.

The Mercury Hotel in Gdansk was the setting for the 'Be Creative' Kingdom Business Summit in Poland during the last weekend of October, where Ian was the lead speaker for a one day conference.

The meeting room could accommodate 200 people which proved useful as the expected 70 people doubled into a turnout of 153! The room was full and there was an air of expectancy as people settled in to their seats and everything was fine tuned to take a video recording of the day’s sessions.

Ian’s first session was on abundance mentality and after a short coffee break he went on to speak on kingdom business. The audience warmed to Ian’s subject as their mindset was challenged and there was a real buzz of conversation over lunch as everyone discussed the points that had been raised.

After lunch, Ian led his final session on unleashing your wealth creating abilities and was followed by Rafal, a successful local businessman who rounded off the day. He spoke with integrity and humour from his own experience of a growing business in Gdansk.

Christian business people were encouraged throughout the day to see their gift for creating wealth as a blessing from God in order to become a blessing to others. This challenged accepted views that, as a Christian, to have wealth might be wrong. It was clear from the animated discussions during break times that people had been stimulated to rethink and reconsider their beliefs.

Many of the business people in Gdansk and the surrounding towns of Gdinya and Sopot left the conference with plenty of food for thought.

Before travelling back to the UK Ian, with the help of good friend, Pastor Tomasz Ropiejko, spoke during the Sunday Service at the church in Gdansk.
