15 years of IJM

I was a youth pastor looking for some curriculum that might spark a bunch of entitled, spoiled, and apathetic teenagers to get serious about their faith. Youth Specialties were really the only people doing quality stuff, and I ordered The Justice Mission curriculum. The VHS tapes arrived and I went through the curriculum only to be confronted with my own entitlement and apathy. It began a relationship that now is more than 10 years old with an agency I remain proud to support financially. This month they celebrate 15 years of bringing justice to the poor, the widow and the orphan, and call the Church to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.
