The Justice Mission

International Justice Mission and Youth Specialties have combined to put together a pretty cool student ministry curriculum. As the website states, "In The Justice Mission you and your youth group will discover:

How injustice works (and what they can do about it.)
How much God hates injustice (and how to hate what God hates.)
How to answer God's call to fight injustice (beginning where you are.)
How to trust God's resources (doing God's work, God's way.)"

There are five sessions in the curriculum. This is a good way to introduce students to the problems of injustice in the world. My prayer is that a revival will happen among the students in our churches, a revival that will spur them on to make a difference in their world by fighting injustice in the world.

As for what justice is, Cornel West in the movie Call + Response gives my favorite definition of justice: "JUSTICE is love out in public!"

The website for The Justice Mission can be found here.
