Event Information

Join us for our quarterly Equipping Call as we talk with Dr. Albert Reyes, President and CEO of Buckner International and author of 'Hope Now' about the urgent need for holistic ministry. Dr. Reyes will  show us how and why EVANGELISM can and should be combined with ministry and justice efforts.

“Somewhere along the line we built walls between meeting the practical needs of people and meeting their spiritual needs. You had to choose between one or the other, a notion I reject. I believe these needs are two sides of the same coin, and in ‘Hope Now’ I explain how both are not only doable but must be done.” ~ Dr. Albert Reyes

Space is limited! Register today!
