The disciples’ rebuke of people who brought their children to Jesus prompted Christ’s reply, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” His concern reached out to the powerless, the vulnerable, and the voiceless.

The main purpose of the Global Social Justice Conference is to educate and inspire participants to respond to the biblical mandate of justice toward those to whom Christ was referring. Attending the conference will increase your awareness of critical issues faced by people in Canada and around the world and illustrate ways the local church can effectively respond to needs.
