350 people were in attendance at A Future and A HOpe Adoption Conference at Grace Covenant Church. A multi-church team planned and prepared for the conference. Please see the Bridges of Grace website on the Adoption Conference website to download a pdf of the materials.
Dan Cruver, Director of Together for Adoption was the keynote speaker. He did an outstanding job explaining that our vertical adoption into Christ's family should be the foundation for any horizontal adoption of children into our family. (We are sorry to not have this recorded!)
An adoptive family panel consisting of families who had adopted internationally, domestically, and foster to adopt gave great insight.
Aaron Ivey, Worship Pastor at Austin Stone Community Church, sang his song Amos Story about waiting for his 2 children from Haiti to come home. (Praise God they are both living as Ivey's now!)
What if, once again, Christians were known to take in orphans and make them beloved sons and daughters? Russell Moore
