CCIH Global Conference 2027: Steady in the Storm
June 21–24, 2027 | Maanzoni Lodge, Kenya
Co-hosted by CCIH and the Christian Health Association of Kenya
Save the dates and join Christian health leaders, practitioners, researchers, and partners from around the world for the 2027 CCIH Global Conference in Kenya.
At a time of profound change and uncertainty, many of us are being pulled in multiple directions. Internal and external pressures can challenge our sense of purpose, faith, and stability. As followers of Christ, how do we remain steady in the storm? How do we turn to Jesus and continue to serve with courage, wisdom, and hope?
The 2027 CCIH Global Conference, co-hosted by the Christian Health Association of Kenya, will explore how locally led solutions, strong leadership and governance, resilient health systems, and engaged communities can help us withstand uncertainty, resist harm, and contribute to healing and restoration.
Together, we will share experiences, challenges, research, and practical solutions that demonstrate what it means to remain steadfast in Christ while serving others.

Guiding Scripture
“Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!’ He replied, ‘You of little faith, why are you so afraid?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, ‘What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!’” — Matthew 8:23–27 (NIV)
