No Need Among You 2017

Hundreds of nonprofits, churches and urban leaders from across Texas join together over three days to learn and share ideas. The conference format strives to educate, inspire, encourage, connect and equip attendees. We’ll be in Houston at Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church on October 25‐27, 2017.

The annual conference includes: 
- Inspiring talks from nationally known keynote speakers who are leading practitioners in Christian Community Development (CCD).
- Over 40 training workshops in key areas of CCD.
- Times of worship and corporate prayer
- Ministry tours of several local organizations doing CCD
