Hope Builders Fundraising Dinner
“The 2024 Hope Builders Dinner was a huge success, with 250 guests enjoying an inspiring and entertaining evening. It was fabulous to have Colin Buchanan as our guest speaker/entertainer for the night. We were also blessed to have Liz Young playing violin for us during the evening, and the finale with Colin at the end of the night was spectacular. What a privilege to have Caleb Jones complete the magnificent painting of Jesus and the children. How blessed were we to have these amazingly talented people serve us. We praise God for your generosity, as giving on the night exceeded our expectations. Due to this generosity, we have been able to employ part time Area Coordinators to support our wonderful volunteers.”

Fundraising Dinner
In recent years the CRI Network has proven that with funding and vision, hundreds of CRI Instructors can be trained and supported allowing thousands of young people to be instructed in Christian values. Over 2300 additional students are now receiving Christian religious instruction in schools bringing the total to well over 5000 in the Ipswich region. The CRI Network is a well organised and highly effective organisation.
Funding is desperately needed to see this Network continue and young students enabled to receive quality Christian instruction by trained Instructors on a regular basis. We are grateful to our many sponsors, donors and volunteers who together made this event our best yet
We would like to thank our sponsors below for their generosity towards our Hope Builders Dinner

Thanks to some generous volunteers, $30 covers a fun evening out at the live Ipswich Little Theatre and a scrumptious supper.

And how can they put their trust in Him if they have not heard of Him?
And how can they hear of Him unless someone tells them? “
