Patrice Tsague hosts the Africa Regional Business Plan Competition Winner and founder of Joy Fresh Produce- Dominic Gitau to talk about his business and what it'll mean for him and his business should he win the International Business Plan Competition.  Dominic is a young biblical entrepreneur from Kenya who is passionate about agriculture and food security. Through his company Joy Fresh Produce, he seeks to provide quality fresh produce to not only Kenya but the world. He also plans to use his business to create employment opportunities for youth in Kenya's rural areas targeting about 600 full-time employees in the next five years.  In this episode, an enthusiastic Dominic takes us through his life, having been brought up in the slums by a single mom who struggled to make ends meet. Dominic also talks about how he was always determined to succeed and change his family's fortune and his journey of finding Christ which influenced his decision of going into biblical entrepreneurship.  Dominic is going against Jeniffer from France (Europe region) Jason Centeno from the USA (the North American region), and Jino and Joy from India (Asia region) to compete for the top prize in the International Business Plan Competition.  He stands a chance to win up to $11,000; the winner takes home $10,000 and the audience gets a chance to vote for their favorite entrepreneur to win the People's Choice Award of $1,000. All hope is not lost if he misses out on the top prize as there are also consolation prizes of $5,000 for the first runner-up and $3,00 for the second runner-up.  This is a lot of pressure for Dominic but he is not new to competitions as he has always been a go-getter and has always strived to be the best.  He's been part of the Nehemiah E- Community for three and a half years,  and he is confident that this time has prepared him enough for the competition.   "This is not my win, it is the win for Kenya, the win for that farmer, the win for the community, and the win to the Glory of God...'' Dominic says.  "My message to the world is that we can achieve anything we set our minds to do. If a slum boy from Kenya can make it this far, then anyone can," he adds.  Dominic's story is one of hope and inspiration, showing us that no matter where we come from, we can achieve great things if we set our minds to it.  You can help Dominic win by voting for him on the People's Choice Award.
