Saturday, November 4th was a busy day in Barbour County with 36 Christian Leaders from 14 different Churches and non profit organizations gathered with Mr. Kary Kingsland and Scott Collier leaders from Convoy of Hope and their Rural Initiatives team. The group spent the day together from 9am-3pm interacting learning and sharing . The R.A.I.S.E. training developed by Convoy of Hope inspired leaders to think of ways to relate and integrate a variety of proactive approaches to identifying and addressing a variety of needs in the area. Convoy of Hope, is one of our nations leading relief and development non profit organizations, based in Springfield, Missouri.
