Help and Hope to Bring Back Home
Every year, men and women from across the country leave home to go to events, such as “Harbor 2018,” to receive encouragement for themselves and for their ministries. What is it that we need to bring back to our families, our friends, and our congregations that could be a real difference-maker? What are the practical help and hope “take-home” messages that might give us renewed energy as individuals and congregations?
