The Disciples Justice Ministries invite you to be brave and courageous this summer. You can participate in a series of conversations beginning July 11 focusing on how we can move forward past the brokenness we see all around us. Last summer during #DOCjustsummer, Disciples were introduced to the work of several of our many ministries of justice. This summer Disciples can go deeper, learn what they can do locally, and connect with the ministries that resonate most deeply.
