Remind Me
Join Us in August 2026!
The 2026 Our Story, Our Faith (OSOF) Conference will gather the Burma Christian Diaspora—including Chin, Kachin, Karen, Karenni, and related communities—for two days of worship, storytelling, and equipping in Indianapolis. Pastors, youth, families, scholars, and community partners will come together to celebrate resilience, confront challenges with honesty, and renew hope and unity in Christ.
Rooted in Scripture and marked by worship, the gathering will honor the testimonies of first-generation refugees and migrants, uplift younger generations, and build bridges across denominational, ethnic, and generational divides. It will be a space for both lament and joy, for reconciliation across associations, and for strengthening the bonds of Christian unity.
