As many of you know, I, along with other Leadership Team members, have been
privileged to attend the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO)Summit for the
past 5 years. The very first one we attended was in the Dallas, TX area and
it blew us away. Each year the Summit grew in numbers as well as content,
relevance, diversity and sophistication. The last one we attended in Nashville
earlier this year was no exception. This is a world-class summit with 49 states
and over 20 countries in attendance this year. In fact, the summit was sold out
in advance for the first time.
Since that first Summit we've dreamed of the day when they would possibly
consider Willow Creek as an option to host the summit, and today our dreams
(prayers really) came true!
The CAFO 2014 Summit 10 is coming to Chicago and will be hosted by
Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington. Below is the link
to tell them that you plan to attend. You don't need to pay now, but if you
pre-register by giving your name and e-mail address, you will get $10 off the
registration fee when registration opens. Please prayerfully consider taking
advantage of this awesome opportunity to attend the CAFO Summit, especially if you live in the Chicagoland area. http://www.christianalliancefororphans.org/summit10/.
You'll be hearing more about it in the next few months, but in the meantime
you can check out the 2012 Summit 9 web site to get an idea of the many things offered. http://www.christianalliancefororphans.org/summit9.
This
conference is for adoptive, foster and Safe Families parents, adoption &
foster care workers, pastors, orphan advocates, orphan care workers, ministry
leaders & their team members, or anyone who is interested in serving
vulnerable children.
Join me in thanking God for this wonderful opportunity!
