A member who recently dropped out of RCIA, a convert whose loved ones have begun to ask them questions about the Church, and a convert couple trying to figure out how to bring up their kids in the faith – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
