Good news for orphans

Recently I have been involved in an international conference in Kiev, Ukraine, seeking to develop a ‘Ukraine Without Orphans’.

Why describe this, you ask, in 'Letter from America'? Because American Christians, too, are becoming focused on adoption. Russell Moore, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, emphasises this point in his teaching. And recently Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, sparked no little controversy by banning adoption of Russians by Americans.

What could be closer to God's heart than orphans? I am enthusiastic about this movement for all sorts of practical, clear, and compassionate reasons. I also want to make sure that the Father heart of God, which is motivating these adoption movements, continues to have the power of the gospel as their foundation and inspiration.
