July 2025

Join us in Houston!

Hello Jodi,

Last month we were excited to host our annual board meeting here in Grand Rapids, MI, our team's home town. This meeting had been held virtually since 2020 for a variety of reasons. While we celebrate the technology that allows us to work together from many places, each of us is keenly aware of the value added when we have the opportunity to be physically present for collaborative discussions, important decisions, delicious meals, rich fellowship, and team building experiences.

We are grateful for a Board of Directors (pictured above) comprised of wise and gifted leaders who are passionate about our mission of transforming the lives of vulnerable children. Learn more about our board members here.

How about you? Is God calling you into collaborative community with others who are passionate about effective care for vulnerable children and families? Your next chance to gather in person with us is October 1-3 in Houston, TX at CAFO2025, which includes our FREE Hephzibah62:4 Connection Dinner and many more in-person opportunities to connect with our staff, board and other Wesleyan church leaders.

Here's what Kellie had to say about attending CAFO2024 with us: "Attending the conference was extremely inspiring and impactful for our team as we discern how to best serve and love vulnerable children in our community. We left the conference feeling much more equipped and connected with resources and people!"

And here's what Angela said about attending a conference with us: "Hephzibah 62:4 made it a great experience. They helped with arrangements, gave us a meeting place and who to look for. I enjoyed my time (and) I can’t think of a way they could improve the trip." 

Check out CAFO2025 details below and reach out by e-mail or schedule a coaching conversation here to discover the ways we can resource and partner with you and your church to transform the lives of vulnerable children.

Hope to see you in person soon!
