Michelle loves gathering to pray with the Business Link community and is passionate about the opportunities provided to transform communities - whether by mentoring business start-ups internationally that support the church and create jobs, or by gathering business leaders locally in the church to equip, develop and support their business to be fruitful. |
Lizzie RogersLizzie has always felt called to business, studying at Manchester Business School and going on to set up a dog grooming salon.
In 2022, she felt God saying the time had come to close the business and focus her energies elsewhere. One of those places was the Seed Fund! Lizzie is particularly passionate about using her business background to help support people setting up micro-businesses, as well as getting people excited about the possibilities business startups present when coupled with church planting. |
Onno WestrateOnno has been working for Turbocam since 1999, and is also an elder at Elim Church, Reeuwijk in the Netherlands.
Onno's biggest passion is serving God in his business. In 2008 he opened a Turbocam factory in Tirgu Mures, Romania, that created employment opportunities for the local community, and his passion is to see similar initiatives launched in many more countries where there is a real need, both economically and spiritually. He loves to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs who have a similar vision. |
