Deep Justice in a Broken World: Helping Your Kids Serve Others and Right the Wrongs Around Them

It probably doesn’t take a long list of statistics to convince you that our world is broken. Mission trips, service projects, and supporting children through relief organizations are just a few of the ways that many youth workers engage their students in serving the least, the last, and the lost. As good and helpful as these things may be on the surface, that’s where they remain—at the surface. The problems run far deeper than an occasional paint job or fundraising project can solve. But it’s not hopeless.

Following their premier book, Deep Ministry in a Shallow World, Kara Powell and Chap Clark provide you with research and insights that will help your ministry get to the next level. They will help you go beyond simply trying to motivate your students to serve those in need, and invite your students to wrestle with why those people are in need in the first place. You’ll hear from well-known social justice leaders and youth workers who are making a difference in urban, suburban, and small town settings including:
• Jim Wallis (Sojourners)
• Larry Acosta (Urban Youth Workers Institute)
• Tony Campolo (Eastern University)
• Rudy Carrasco (Harambee Christian Family Center)
• Lina Thompson (World Vision/Vision Youth)
• Jeremy Del Rio (Community Solutions, Inc.)
• Shane Claiborne (The Simple Way)
• Noel Castellanos (Christian Community Development Association)
• John Perkins (Christian Community Development Association)
• and more…
In addition to expanding your personal justice commitments, Deep Justice in a Broken World will help you reflect with your own leadership team, and will provide you with online resources to take you even deeper into the journey. So go ahead, dig deeper into what it means to heal the broken world in which we live. Take your ministry deeper into social justice.
