Adopted4Ever Conference

If you are in the FL area, here is an orphan care conference you might want to check out.  They have a great line-up of speakers and Andrew Peterson will be giving a concert.  Here is a conference summary:
One of the most profound aspects of Christian truth is that a holy God would adopt sinners into His family! Have you ever had questions about adoption? Have you ever wondered where the concept of adoption came from? The spiritual adoption of sinners is a picture of what the Bible actually calls His people to do.
Caring for orphans and needy children is a very practical outflow of sharing the love of God. There are scores of needy children in the world.
This upcoming conference will seek to emphasize both the doctrine and application of adoption as a true expression of everlasting divine love.
We will hear gifted men exposit the Scriptures concerning how you, your family, and your local church, can embrace this life-changing truth in very practical ways. The speakers will trace the love of God to the adoption of His children. They will also bring out how that love should motivate us to care for the needs of children that do not have loving parents or a family. These teachings on the comfort and hope of adoption will warm your heart and deepen your understanding of what it means to be a part of God’s forever family. Your appreciation for the Christian family and the church will grow as you discover how these divine institutions meet very real needs in practical ways.
There will be two workshops to offer advice on how a family can adopt a child and how a church can begin an orphan care ministry. There will also be a question and answer session to afford the opportunity to completely interact with the entire theme. Believers will learn more about their own adoption and will leave with praise and adoration for the heavenly provision of adoption that is found in Christ.
