Join us at the Summer Conference 2025 as we study the book of Esther and see God's providential work “Behind The Scenes”. Though His name is never mentioned in this book, God's hand is evident in every twist and turn. We’ll see how ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances can change the course of history when they walk in faith.
