Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress... James 1:27
2nd Annual Rising Tides conference was a success!
Fifty people from eight countries engaged in a robust conversation about the best way to care for extremely vulnerable children. We were grateful that three pastors from HCW partner churches joined the discussion about transforming the global ministry of care for orphaned and abandoned children. If you missed the conference this year, resources and video links are available below. Email Laura Horvath if you would like to be placed on the contact list for Rising Tides.
