Join us for our “60 Years Strong: Lasting Legacy” fundraising dinner celebrating 60 years of unwavering commitment to the holistic growth of healthy families and communities in places of deep poverty. We look forward to honoring the selfless sacrifice of Dr. Paul Carlson as well as his enduring legacy of service that has spanned 60 impactful years in partnership with the Covenant Church of Congo and with partners like you. By remembering our shared past, we embrace the future with renewed dedication.

Highlights Include:

• Inspiring keynote addresses highlighting the transformative impact of 60 years of medical and economic development efforts in DR Congo.
• Display showcasing Paul’s ministry, death, and legacy from humble beginnings to sustainable partnerships in the DR Congo.
• Heartfelt testimonies from those touched by the mission, including our partners in DR Congo, volunteers, churches, and others. 
• Visionary presentations on the road ahead, exploring innovative approaches to address ongoing challenges and foster lasting change.

Join us as we commemorate six decades of compassion, courage, and collaboration. Together, we continue to write the next chapter in our shared mission of healing, hope, and holistic growth.
