Culture of Adoption Video
— Thursday, March 1st, 2012 —
Below is a video I did for the Christian Alliance for Orphans, on how & why to create an “adoption culture” in your church. I’ve found a lot of churches, when God pierces their hearts for orphans, want to download a ready-made program to do so.
But I think adoption and orphan care have to be more organic than that, and I think there are some realities this move forms beyond the question of orphans and families themselves. This short video explains why.

By the way, if you can, join Rick and Kay Warren, Dennis Rainey, Francis Chan, Steven Curtis Chapman, and me for the Orphan Summit VIII at Saddleback Church May 3-4 of this year.
Dr. Moore,
My wife and I were honored to hear you speak this weekend at the Know More Orphans Conference in Birmingham. Prior to the conference, we heard God calling us to adopt and the conference solidified that calling. We pray that more Christians will realize that adoption and adoption care is a picture of God’s grace toward us. Please pray for us as we embark on this life-changing journey. Thank you for all that you do.
Let us also become a culture that embraces birthmother’s who relinquish children for adoption out of love and grieve in isolation.
