It's all about relationship and this roundtable event is intentionally building them each year to make the local Church the Hero in times of disaster! Initiated in 2017 by a group of outreach-minded church leaders, the DRRN continues each year building bridges of relationship, sharing lessons learned and opening the door of opportunity for The Church through dedicated communication and resource development. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Thanks to our Host!
