About this Event
They’ve Survived. They’re Healing. They’re Leading.
Join Exile International at The Franklin Theatre for Hope Wins 2026—a free evening of live music, powerful stories, and generosity celebrating the healing and new life God is bringing to child survivors of war.
Featuring musical performances by Mike Donehey of Tenth Avenue North and Ruby Amanfu & Sam Ashworth, with an introduction by Jeremy Cowart.
You’ll hear directly from survivors whose lives have been transformed—from war and loss to healing, education, faith, and leadership—and discover how you can help make that same transformation possible for others.
All gifts given at Hope Wins will be matched, doubling your impact.
Admission is free. Reserve your seat today.
