From the President
Hope.
It can be too easy to lose sight of in the midst of the ups and downs of everyday life. We can forget the powerful, awe-inspiring, enduring hope we have in Jesus Christ.
And our hope isn’t based on wishful thinking. It's grounded in the God who never wavers; who loves us so much He gave His only Son to save us; who is still at work around the world, changing lives every day.
What a cause for celebration! And I want to celebrate this hope with you.
That’s why I’m eager to invite you to join my wife, Annette, and me on Amelia Island (near Jacksonville, FL) this spring. We trust that hope will abound as we gather with Christian leaders from around the world to learn from their expertise and to celebrate the ways God is growing His global church.
And we’ll consider how we can express our shared hope by partnering in kingdom-building work going forward.
On the shores of the Atlantic amidst the hope that spring brings, we'll experience:
-
- Worship led by an award-winning recording artist
-
- Exhortation from gifted Bible teachers
-
- Fellowship with brothers and sisters from near and far
-
- Hope as we remember how God uses us together to
accomplish His purposes
- Hope as we remember how God uses us together to
Would you please consider gathering with us this spring? Click here to reserve your spot as soon as possible. For more information, call (480) 595-5117 or email usa@langham.org.
