John C. Maxwell, an internationally renowned leadership expert, coach, and author who has sold over 20 million books, will be the featured guest speaker for Christian City’s Annual Hopes and Dreams Luncheon. The event will be held May 3rd, at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park and is a benefit for the abandoned and abused children who live in the cottages at The Children’s Village at Christian City.
The Children’s Village cares for children who come through private placement and from the Department of Family and Children Services. With a focus on family, education and healing, they are well known and respected throughout the State of Georgia for providing a program of excellence. The Children’s Village ministers to those who are dealing with life crisis, such as the death of a parent, divorce, or sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. The program’s family environment allows children from every background to have access to a traditional family unit and support systems to help mend their wounded spirits. For many children, The Children’s Village may be the only home they will ever remember. Over 1,000 children have called Christian City “home” since the first cottage was opened on Valentine’s Day, 1965.
