All children belong in safe, loving families, whether that’s through reunification with parents, kinship care, domestic or international adoption or foster care.

Today, will you join us in praying that God would provide families for each and every child in need?

An amicus brief filed by legal counsel for the Southern Baptist Convention “is an enormous betrayal to abuse survivors and our allies for accountability within the SBC,” writes @RevChrisDavis.

“The consequences will—and should—be grave.”

We are called to do the Lord’s work in the Lord’s way. If we are not doing (or funding) the work in His way, it is not, in fact, His work.

[Keith Myer ™ @Pastakeith]

A few days ago a reporter, looking ahead at the judicial schedule, discovered an Amicus Brief filed in the name of the Southern Baptist Convention, The Executive Committee, SBTS, and Lifeway resources.

The document was publicly viewable for months.

“We can’t adopt our way out of the orphan crisis. The reality is many of these orphans are there because of poverty. We can use our dollars to help families stay together and support reunification.” - Kristen Lowry, Send Relief's Orphans and Vulnerable Children Consultant

“We kind of changed the strategy of the orphanage. We took all the kids home that we could, and then we began rescuing kids off the streets. Up to date, I think Shelter Yetu has rescued around 600 kids from the streets since 2014..."
