Our new video connects the glory of the Gospel (i.e., the treasure that Jesus is) with the current global orphan crisis. http://www.togetherforadoption.org/

Many thanks to Brannon McAllister for his work on this video! http://www.brannonmcallister.com/

The song used is Steven Curtis Chapman's "Treasure of Jesus." Show Hope (founded by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth) is one of our Conference 2009 sponsors: http://www.showhope.org/

Desiring God (http://www.desiringgod.org/) sent a cameraman with us to Ethiopia to capture this footage. Many thanks to DG!

  • Probably the best verse to fill in our understanding of what "visiting orphans in their affliction" involves is found in the Old Testament. The Greek translation of Exodus 4:31 uses the same Greek words for "visit" and "affliction" that James uses for those two words.

    "And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshipped."

  • The word for "visit" in James 1:27 means "to look after, care for." It is not optional for individuals in the church to care for orphans and widows. Individually, not just corporately.
