Suppose we did see a great global movement of Students and Advocates getting discipled and equipped to do Justice. What sort of issues might they work on? We think the list below is a pretty complete one, for anyone seeking to improve justice in their nations.
10 ADVOCACY-JUSTICE SERVICE AREAS
Spaces We Want to See People Serving in to Change their Nations
We spotlight these 10 Areas because it’s a pretty good list of justice issues most countries have to contend with, to varying degrees. It’s also a lot easier to take a giant subject like “Injustices” and break that up into smaller, bite-size pieces, so good information can be aimed straight at specific issues. (Click here to learn more about how and why we have arranged this into 10 Areas.)
STUDY CENTERS/Institutes,
RESEARCH & THINK TANKS (SCITTS)
Contacts and Resources
Our Institute has sought out and identified a number of good Study Centers, Institutes, Research and Think Tanks (SCITTs for short, pronounced “sites” without the “R”). In addition to this one, we think you should know about some others. In our view, they offer some of the best informational resources to get you started in doing justice for Christ. If you are called to serve in this area, invest some time in this space.
