Board members, Joe Warner, Kelly Bowman, Norma Jean Neff and Dale Carter, traveled to The Welcoming Place in Akron, PA to attend this year’s Bridge of Hope Conference, hosted by Bridge of Hope National.

We joined Bridge of Hope National staff, Board and other affiliate members in the Bridge of Hope network.

We strengthened our skills and leadership abilities, shared ideas with colleagues, were inspired and spiritually renewed, and returned with great energy for service.

Here are just a few of the Conference highlights:

Daily worship services
”Affiliate Stories of God at Work”
