Christ’s Hope International Africa Summit – 2023

 

Our 20th Anniversary serving our Lord, children, and families

 

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

We praise God for His provision through the generosity of a faithful partner that we are able to bring over 50 of our Christ’s Hope leadership staff together for nine days of learning, growing, collaboration, and fellowship at the Brackenhurst Retreat Center (www.brackenhurst.com) in Nairobi, Kenya February 24-March 3, 2023.
