Welcome to Shofar Business Consultants. Our backstory begins in 2003 when we, Bennie and Krystal, met for the first time as we entered college in Michigan. After a few years of courting, graduating college, engagement, and our wedding in 2008 we became a lifelong partnership teamed up for the purpose of being a benefit to the world around us. Our careers led us into the business world, working first for small businesses that allowed us to understand how companies with just a few hundred employees work, then we became successful in joining firms with thousands of employees and holding leadership positions within those companies. Our experience has allowed us to understand both small businesses just starting out, and large businesses that are battling competitive markets and needing to strategize. Both of us have presented workshops and presentations across the United States and we have worked with businesses on nearly every continent. As we progressed in our careers, we’ve also grown in our beliefs. We believe in The Most High God of the bible, and believe all the words presented in the bible are truth. We bring that understanding to the work we do and try to ensure that we make a positive impact everywhere we go. Shofar Business Consultants will do the powerful work of connecting the African Diaspora with the continent of Africa through business. The African Diaspora are those who are genetically linked to the continent of Africa, but dispersed throughout the world through servitude or other reasons. Many of these individuals dream of having a way in to learn about the cultures in Africa and to potentially live on the continent for a time, so they can connect to those roots. Since trade is a link that connects everyone in the world, our work will be an excellent way for the Diaspora to make their bond with their ancestors on the continent and also bring their wealth of skills and investment funding to help uplift those on the continent as well. We have chosen Namibia for this work because it is a place that called to our hearts. We were called to come to this location, and will center our work here to bring these connections and uplifting work to the people of Namibia who are full of talent and joy. We believe the talent and wisdom of native Namibians paired with the skills and education acquired by members of the Diaspora outside the content can combine to build great businesses that lead the world in success, ingenuity, and global impact. The connections we make will not only partner investors with Namibian businesses, but will bring new skillsets from across the globe to help Namibian companies thrive. Global understanding paired with local expertise will be the backbone of the successes we hope to foster in Namibia. For investors, we take pride in helping you find great opportunities that fit your personal background, skills and investment desires. We also hope that the connections you make will bring you closer in ties with Africa and create opportunities to become a part of the Namibian community. For Namibians, we believe this work will bring excellent investment opportunities, growth, and strategic wisdom to your entrepreneurial endeavors. The investors we will connect you with are highly educated, experienced in business, and care deeply about being part of something bigger than business alone. These investors are caring people who want to partner and grow together. Ezekial 37:15-22 15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, 16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. 18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
