2026 Regional Conference - Restoring Hope: Real Help in a Hard World

So often, life can feel hopeless. We have all tasted it—dashed hopes, disappointed dreams, suffering, loss, and brokenness of many kinds. Sometimes the heartaches in this life nearly snuff out our flame of hope. As humans, we need confidence that our stories won’t spiral endlessly down, and we often find ourselves desperately clinging to whatever promises to make things better. Yet our Heavenly Father is not distant from us or from our pain. He knows the realities of life in this broken world and meets us in them. Not only does God understand, but he gives his presence and his promises as an unshakeable hope as we face the darkest seasons in our lives.

Join Andy Engert, Alasdair Groves, and the Restoring Hope New England team as we explore how the compassionate realism and hope-filled promises of Scripture offer real, right-now help to weary hearts, and restore a lasting hope that carries us through life’s hardships.
