Participants are immersed in a unique blend of culture, faith, entrepreneurship, and opportunity.

If you long to see emerging and frontier markets thrive spiritually and economically, you should come!
FORGE is a gathering of:
FORGE exists to discover, connect, and showcase thriving faith-infused entrepreneurial ecosystems across different cultures. In 2027, we are excited to return to Cairo, Egypt — the place where the seeds of the FORGE Movement were first planted in 2022.
In early 2022, 40 leaders from 15 nations gathered in Cairo to build relationships, pray, dream, and explore how greater collaboration could strengthen the global Kingdom entrepreneurship ecosystem. The depth of fellowship, shared vision, and collective wisdom from that gathering led to the co-creation of FORGE later that year and opened the way for future FORGE Summits in Kenya (2023), Romania (2024), and South Africa (2025).
Five years after its beginning, FORGE is returning to Egypt to continue learning from and investing in the growing ecosystem of Egyptian Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs, innovators, and business leaders.
Egypt is home to one of the world’s oldest Christian communities, with a rich spiritual heritage dating back to the first century. In a nation known for its 6,000-year-old civilization, deep spirituality, resilience, creativity, and hospitality, Christian entrepreneurs are actively seeking ways to bring redemptive solutions and positive impact to their communities.
Our host, tC Egypt (the Community Egypt), is honored and excited to welcome you to Cairo — a city where ancient history meets modern innovation. tC Egypt is facilitating a growing network of Egyptian Kingdom business leaders who are contributing to the FORGE Movement and working together to see businesses become a force for transformation, flourishing, and hope.
“Leaders are rising up in the emerging and frontier markets with their vision for Kingdom coming in their countries. FORGE is a meeting place where international partners can begin to see where they need to recalibrate their thinking and figure out how to come as partners to support local vision and local leadership. It’s the beginning of a completely new era of Kingdom building in the frontier and emerging markets, and we’re going to be amazed at what that’s going to look like in the next 10 to 20 years.”
“I feel like I’m part of a family with the same vision, values, and drive to make a transformational impact in our nations. We’ve been equipped — forged. We’ve got momentum to go back with more enthusiasm, passion, and compassion for our countrymen to see them flourish and make an impact in their families, churches, and communities.”
“I met people who use different tools to measure impact, investors and capacity builders, and I shared with different cultures what works and what doesn’t work for us. I really appreciate Sinapis for organizing this. It’s been a learning curve for me.”
“It was an exceptional time with friends, seeing different experiences, meeting more partners, and sharing how God is working with all of us. It was really something that touched me and has given me a clearer perspective for the Kingdom and how I can serve my business and all the people that I work with.”
“This week has been all about what we call ‘Agents of Hope.’ I’ve been surrounded by people from every corner of the world and every corner of this social entrepreneur, social impact ecosystem. What I’m taking away, aside from new friendships and connections, is new opportunities for collaboration and partnerships. The spirit here has been very friendly and generative: great fellowship, great food, great weather, great organization.”
“It’s kind of funny to say that it’s nice to know others with the same struggles, but we can help each other. How do things work well for them? How do they work well for us? That was really very helpful for me. I’m so excited to go back to Mozambique and do new things.”
“This whole conference has been an exhilarating time where we learn about different networks and capacity builders but also the generosity from everyone in sharing resources, sharing ideas—this is excellent. There is a Thai saying, “If you go it alone, you can go fast, but if you go at it together, you can go the distance.” And so this conference is something that really helps us build stamina to last the distance together—thank you.”
“Can you imagine thriving ecosystems of faith-driven entrepreneurs in every country in the world? The least reached, most difficult places. Organizations united around the globe, sharing knowledge and tools. Capital providers deploying billions of dollars into the markets that need it most. Do you believe it is possible? Let’s dream bigger.”
FORGE is rooted in values of love, unity, humility, & trust. Participants come together to think, pray, and dream how to bring economic, social, and spiritual renewal to our communities through enterprise development.
Situated on 150 acres in Wadi al Natrun, Beit el Wadi is only an hour from Cairo.

“I came to this conference not really expecting to get something out of it but to see what’s going to happen, and I’ve been blown away by the one week that we had.....The greatest takeaway is that I’ve learned quite a bit and there’s been such an integration of the capacity builders, the investors, and the entrepreneurs all coming together and discussing so many things that we would not have otherwise.”
“I remember years back in Brazil thinking, ‘I’m lonely in this journey,’ and figuring out there are people from dozens and dozens of countries on a similar path. It’s a life calling to be part of this, so we appreciate FORGE placing people together so we can collaborate and learn from each other — being part of what Jesus is doing in the marketplace globally."
“We have been exploring entrepreneurial ecosystems in our country, but we don’t know what the ideal ecosystem looks like, so visiting these people and seeing this emerging ecosystem has given us a real direction for what we need to work on in Pakistan — how to improve those areas. Meeting with the wonderful people from all around the world is a big blessing, and we are going to cherish these relationships not only from today but in the years to come.”
“Personally, I’ve been so inspired by what God is doing through entrepreneurial ecosystems all over the world — stories from Mongolia, Uzbekistan — it’s just incredible to see that God really is bringing people together, humble servants doing their part.”
“This week has been a reminder that God is at work in so many different ways and in so many contexts. There was something special about all of us being in the same space of capacity building, but from different geographical regions and at different stages of building out our services and programs. I’ve so appreciated the generosity of spirit in sharing and trading ideas, the mealtime conversations and storytelling, the vulnerability about the challenges we’ve faced, and even the kindness and understanding when there were different ideas being expressed. It was truly a life-giving time!”
“This was a very different experience, and I believe that we’re going to look back at this event as something new that started — because the way our hearts have connected here is unique. We’re in the business world, come on! And we’re connecting hearts like crazy for the Kingdom, and that is fantastic.”
“It’s been an incredible week. I’ve been experiencing God's presence among us and how God is working around us and in us. When I’m talking to people from different cultures and from overseas who are in villages from other countries, we have the same big dream, the same mutual interests and mutual goals. I’m glad the sharing has been so personal, so global!”
Refreshed through a unique time of deep fellowship and prayer.
