Last weekend, nearly 600 people gathered for the 2013 CFW Conference on Humanizing Work, exploring what it means for work to be an expression of our humanity and not the source of our identity. It was an amazing time together, and we hope this important theme will continue to resonate and mature for all those who participated. We�re excited to share some of the resources from the conference soon on our website, but in the meantime, we want to share with you a special video that was created for the conference highlighting the remarkable story of a phoenix created Xu Bing. We�re already getting ready for next year�s conference and we hope you�ll put in on your calendar!

May we cling to Christ, the perfecter of work.
