I’m excited to speak at this year’s Life and Justice Conference<\/a> because it focuses on the whole person–conception-to-death. This isn’t just a conference about preborn children–it is a comprehensive approach to the sanctity of human life that takes into consideration issues such as elder care, special needs, orphans, and sex trafficking.<\/b><\/p>\n

These are not always issues where the church has led or even been most vocal.<\/p>\n

It was just a few years ago that secular giving to HIV\/AIDS relief work was significantly higher than giving from within the church. <\/p>\n

Yet, the issue of life was central to Jesus’ teaching, and in fact He defines His ministry through “life.” Think about “I am the way the truth and the life!” or “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” <\/p>\n

This holistic, expansive, and full view of life is being championed by the Life and Justice Conference<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Life and Justice Conference<\/a> <\/b>is a major declaration that life–in all its forms–is God-given and sacred. <\/p>\n

As Christ-followers, our duty is to protect life, nurture life, and redeem life in this world right now. It is exciting to see the sanctity of human life expressed in such a beautiful and complete tapestry like this.<\/p>\n

A tireless advocate for fatherless children, Davis has spent most of his adult life calling U.S. believers to become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the 143 million orphans living around the world. Through those connections, thousands of orphans now have the bright and hopeful future--one that is filled with opportunities and the love of the one true Father. Davis speaks hundreds of times each year at churches and conferences, mobilizing the church to action on behalf of the poor. He is the author of four books. His most recent novel, SCARED is a fictionalized account of his first-hand experiencing living and working with orphans in Swaziland, Africa. Davis' blog is the premier resource for the latest developments in Christian orphan ministry. Davis also currently teaches courses as adjunct professor at George Fox University in Newberg, OR. When not traveling the globe, Davis resides in the mountains of Colorado in the small community of Palmer Lake. He and his wife Emily have seven children, including two adopted daughters from Russia.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/author\/tdavis"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
