Live Painting at Summit VIII
One of the most memorable special features of both Summit VIII and Summit VII was the live, on-site painting by award-winning artist Hyatt Moore. Every true movement requires great art to nourish, inspire and guide its ongoing vision. As expressed at times on this blog, I’ve been very encouraged by recent expressions of this kind [...]
The Christian Post on Summit VIII
Summit VIII was nothing short of amazing. Even for those of us who spent a lot of time scurrying behind the scenes, the passion and wisdom and experiences brought not only by formal presenters, but by virtually every attendee, left us full-to-the-brim. Many of the workshop and plenary sessions will be available for download online [...]
Kay Warren Video on Summit VIII!
Kay Warren today released a great video invitation to Summit VIII. We’re so very thankful for Kay, Pastor Rick, Elizabeth Styffe, Lynn Young, Carol Cooper and the whole Saddleback team — especially now in the final week as they prepare for the monumental task of serving as host church for Summit VIII!
Rick Warren on the Upcoming Summit
Pastor Rick and Kay Warren and the whole team at Saddleback Church have been involved with the Christian Alliance for Orphans since its early days. They’ve raised a clarion call to the church to take on adoption, foster and orphan care both locally and globally, and they’ve modeled that call with in action. Describing the [...]
Re-Post: The Budding Korean Orphan Care Movement

Summit Student Conference: Destiny Rescuing Destiny

They’ll tell you they long to pursue a calling larger than themselves. They want a vision worthy of sacrifice. It’s the absence of such a [...]
What’s Your Red Bus?
Few things are more enlivening than seeing students wake to God’s heart for the orphan. They recognize more than just another great need; rather, they begin to sense how the God of the universe cares deeply for the world’s most destitute, and calls His people to do the same. In that sense of God’s heart [...]
Why Justice and Mercy Flow from the Gospel
The theme for Summit VIII (May 3-4 at Saddleback Church) is Justice and Mercy Flow from the Gospel. But why is Gospel the fountainhead of justice and mercy? Why not just “goodwill” or “duty” or “idealism”? On one level, because we’re all made in God’s image, every person holds a certain sense of justice and [...]
The Amazing Opportunity Coming in May
Registration for Summit VIII opened today. Amidst the dizzying pace of life, it suddenly struck me: this conference is going to be amazing. I can hardly wait. Sure, the work of the Alliance is my day job. And I love it. But it is my night job, too—the things I think about when I’m “off.” [...]
