Black Scholars and Professionals deal with challenges from various sources. There are challenges in their scholarship, research, work, and, very importantly, how all of this fits into their faith in Jesus Christ. At this conference there will be people who will present how they grapple with these realities and how their faith in Christ enables and empowers them to rise to the challenge. Come and join them in these very important discussions. Thank you for your interest in our upcoming conference and consultation hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship’s Black Scholars and Professionals.
