Enrichment
What is Enrichment?
The Rafiki Enrichment Conference is an annual event designed to bring together missionaries, ministry partners, and supporters for teaching, fellowship, and spiritual encouragement. This conference provides a dedicated time to step away from the daily work of ministry and focus on growing in biblical understanding, discipleship, and mission readiness.
Participants are immersed in content that inspires, equips, and empowers them to return to their communities with renewed vision and purpose.
