We asked Ruth, "What are you most looking forward to at the conference and what hope do you have for us as we gather?"
"I’m most looking forward to… relaxed, informal conversations with colleagues and families.
What I hope for is… renewed hope — a genuine expectation that God is really making all things right, even when things seem to be going in the wrong direction."
