HOPE & COURAGEOVERCOMING POVERTY IN A CHANGING WORLD

MARCH 21, 2013 | 8:00AM - 4:00PM

It’s no secret that we live in a fluctuating world. Technology. Globalization. Urbanization. Global church growth.

Increased natural disasters. Economic pressures.

These dynamics can leave us thinking, “What next?” How do we rise to the challenges of our world, especially

in following the biblical call to care for the marginalized and vulnerable?

How can we be witnesses to the love of Christ for the whole person—physically and spiritually?

What is the role of the church in this changing world?

This one-day conference features dynamic speakers with vital global perspectives that present a Christian worldview to engage today’s changing world, not with fear, but with hope and courage.
