Converging Pathways is a needed prophetic voice that profoundly impacts people's worldview and is an effective catalyst for hope and healing in our nation. Kallie and Chris are dynamic and gifted professional presenters, making truth and reconciliation not only practical for everyone to pursue, but we have seen them ignite contagious hope and deep-level passion for a brighter future. It has been fascinating to watch! What sets Converging Pathways apart is how they embody raw truth, authentic healing, and unconditional reconciliatory love for people. In our pursuit to connect, equip and mobilize Canadian church communities to effectively care for vulnerable children and families, Forever Families of Canada is thrilled for what Converging Pathways accomplishes. They have become our secret sauce to greater Indigenous mindfulness in the faith sector and our go to in helping lead lasting change. The best is yet to come!
