Welcome to the launch episode of Active Generosity with Stewardship’s CEO, Janie Oliver.
Hear from Janie about her journey from the tough world of corporate finance to the one of faithful Christian stewardship. Janie also shares how her upbringing in South Africa and strong faith have fuelled her passion for generosity and her strong sense of justice.
Janie’s favourite Bible verse: “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practised the latter without leaving the former undone.” Luke 11 v42 (NIV)
How you can pray for Janie:
- that God will continue to reveal to Janie how to have an increasingly abundant mindset and to break the shackles of a scarcity mindset
- in her role as CEO of Stewardship, for God to help her lead this organisation that’s dedicated to helping others explore the freedom and joy that comes with leading generous lives in all their fullness
