World Conference April 6-13, 2019
In preparation for World Conference 2019, the question becomes an invitation to pilgrimage—a journey of individual and community discernment, discovery, and of becoming. Our pilgrim heritage guides our journey. It is an exciting faith adventure, still unfolding. Whether we gather for World Conference in person or in spirit, all are invited to step across the threshold of the now, to shed ourselves of personal agendas, and to journey anew into what can be.

His smartphone and M-Pesa wallet will always be right there in his pocket—and there’s always a chance luck might be on his aspect once more. Kirwa, now 26, put the windfall to good use, buying a automotive that enabled him to drive for Wasili, an Uber-style ride-hailing service within the close by city of Eldoret. But he continued playing, and over time, his losses mounted. But in actuality, he stated, they characterize only a fraction of the gamblers who truly need assistance.
