Adoption Conference

Adoption and Christianity go together like apple pie and ice cream. We just can’t tell the story of God’s love for humankind without talking about adopting. That’s why Christianity invented organized orphan care. But did you know more than 114,000 children in the U.S. are currently awaiting an adoptive home? Did you know that almost 153 million little ones live as orphans right now worldwide? And did you know that Lutherans can’t wait to do something about it? Attend the 2024 Lutheran Adoption Conference April 10-11, 2024 at the Hyatt Regency Houston Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas. Register for the conference HERE. Questions? Contact Pastor Salemink at msalemink@lutheransforlife.org.
