Katharine Gray – friendfirst Director wins Business Award – March 2012

Wisdom for Women international run the Wise Woman Award in association with Keep the Faith Magazine. It is a celebration of Christian Women in the church. The dazzling award ceremony took place on the 17th March 2012 at the London Hilton Paddington.

Katharine was stunned and amazed when she won the award in the Business Category for her involvement in so many single Christian’s lives and the success that Heavenly Partners has had bringing so many single Christians together. Heavenly Partners has had over 200 people get married through them and as a result, many babies born, including triplets! You can watch some highlights of the evening here, and also Katharine receiving her award, there are also more pictures that can been seen on our facebook page.

Upon arriving on to the stage Katharine amongst applause, Katharine soon had the audience laughing as she explained her zesty approach to marrying people off and that she was still as enthusiastic now as she had been when she first set up Heavenly Partners in 1999.

Katherine believes that she won the award as her faith has always been central to her business and shapes the way in which she runs it. She has made a commitment to furthering Gods Kingdom and her belief is that if Christians are not given the opportunity to meet other Christians then they run the risk of marrying a non-Christian with a possible consequence of falling away from their faith. She has been happily married herself since 2007 but is still very much committed to helping single Christians through Heavenly Partners and heavenlypartners.

Our members were also thrilled to hear of her achievement, here is what some of them had to say:
