Do this all whilst eating cake and drinking tea! A place where you won’t be asked what were the toilets like? or what was the food like? But rather a place to share honestly about the trials and joys in a room of people who understand the ebbs and flows, highs and lows all too well.

Please register at the convention reception.

This event is for family members of mission partners to provide an opportunity to chat and connect with others who have loved ones serving God around the world.

Bringing them to life like never before through energetic songs, interactive storytelling and lots of laughs.

In light of our convention theme ‘Human’ we’ll be thinking together about what it means to be human in light of the truth that God has both made us and saved us.
