I have exciting news to share with you! Please share this with others!
The Together for Adoption 2015
conference is coming to Durham, NC this November 5 - 7. ASL
interpreters have been secured for all aspects of this event, covering
both adult and children's activities.
I
want to share a few quotes from Dr. Russell Moore, the eighth president
of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, from his 2009 SBC Resolution on Adoption & Orphan Care:
“Something is afoot among Christian families and
churches of virtually every kind. God is calling the
people of Christ to see the face of Jesus in the faces of orphans in
North America and around the world. Southern Baptists have affirmed our
belief in the authority of Scripture, and the Bible tells us pure
religion is defined by care for the fatherless."
“We’ve been defined by our commitment to
evangelism, and there is no greater field as `white unto harvest’ right
now as children in orphanages, group homes, and the foster care system,
children who don’t know a parent’s love and who don’t know the name of
Jesus. When Satan wars against children, we should be the ones who have
compassion on them, even as Jesus did and does…"
James 1:27 – PURE RELIGION
Religion that God our Father accepts as
pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in
their distress and
to keep oneself from being polluted by
the world.
Together for Adoption
Together for Adoption
“Over the past 5-7 years orphan care
has become a bona fide movement within evangelicalism. This is why Together for
Adoption’s primary focus
is to look out 50 years and provide that which we know will sustain
is to look out 50 years and provide that which we know will sustain
the church’s long-term care for
orphans, namely,
a vibrant gospel-centered theology of
adoption.”
Our Mission:
Together for Adoption (T4A) exists to
provide
gospel-centered resources that
magnify the adopting grace
of God the Father in Christ Jesus and
mobilize the church for
global orphan care.
