And I&#8217;ve lived my entire life in Evangelical churches. I&#8217;ve heard a lot of sermons about going to the mission fields overseas, but few about the adoption process [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s as if they keep the freeing impact of the gospel on their life calling locked away somewhere &#8212; in The Salvation Box &#8212; so that they never truly know abundant living.
