This year, 150 participants came together, from over 25 countries each focusing on different types of ministries but “united by a shared calling and passion to walk alongside people on the move”, the organisers said.

The focus this year was on younger generations and how God invites more experienced Christian leaders to serve with them in more intentional and thoughtful ways.
Practitioners and experts led 28 workshops over the four days. Topics ranged from leadership and child participation to discipleship, mental health, and abuse prevention in the church, among many others.
One particular highlight was hearing testimonies from across the refugee highway, sharing how working with refugees has impacted individuals and communities.

In an increasingly divided political landscape across Europe, “the RHP stands as a reminder to the church that refugees are not to be feared; rather, when welcomed into community, they become forces for good and beauty within it”, says Whitney Gerdes, Managing Director of RHP Europe.
