Description
Crisis has become a defining theme for cities across the United States. How might Christians concerned with biblical justice, love of neighbor, care for the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized, and the flourishing of the city respond? Using the creation narrative, Matt DeMateo and New Life Centers will provide a theological and practical framework for how biblical justice can inform and create a movement of crisis response. Using real-life examples and stories, Matt will outline how New Life Centers has responded to crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and through serving over 20,000 new arrivals to Chicago in 2024.
