Dr. Bob Really Does Care

Posted by Kristy Tarrant at April 02, 2013
We are honored to have Dr. Bob Paeglow and members of his team at Koinonia Health Center in Albany, NY presenting a workshop at the conference this year.  Two years ago I met a medical student rotating at a Christian clinic in Memphis. Students coming to Memphis often schedule time with me to learn more about CCHF and the community of hair-on-fire-Jesus-loving-servant-radicals that make up the CCHF family.

Posted by Kristy Tarrant at March 05, 2013
“It is not good for man to be alone.” We were created to live and thrive in community. It is a vital part of our being created in the image of God.

After learning about CCHF, I attended their annual conference in 2006 and was greatly impacted by the people I met there and their stori... Read More »
