Work & Ministry as Worship with Kina Robertshaw

Is your work an act of worship? In this beautifully reflective talk from the Workplace Track at the Fourth Lausanne Congress, Kina Robertshaw shares her personal journey of reconciling faith, entrepreneurship, and ministry. From the fashion industry to theology, she invites us to move beyond the false divide between the sacred and the secular—and to discover the divine significance of our everyday work.
