Today, 'justice' is a buzz word that has become very hip to use, and while we seem to tag all of our good deeds with it, we must realize that justice is not merely a concept, but a way of committed living that costs. To simply talk about justice is not enough, we must also 'do justice'. I agree with Dr. Tim Keller, that the best way to "do justice" is live in a way that generates a strong community where human beings can flourish. Specifically, to "do justice" means to go to cultures, countries, communities, or neighborhoods where the fabric of wholeness has been torn, and relentlessly work to repair it. In other words, to be a person or community committed to restorative justice is to sacrificially give of your self and resources to those in need, to the point that we disadvantage ourselves for those living under the bonds of injustice.

So, in my work with Restore Communities we seek to "do justice" by restoring the orphan, preventing slavery and ending cycles of poverty:

RESTORE the Orphan: I believe the best way to work for a lasting change for the orphan and abandoned in our world is to partner with local and global non-profit organizations who have gone before us, have the experience, and are professionally trained in working with the poor and oppressed for a life of hope, love, renewal and a forever family.

Prevent Slavery: FACT: There are more slaves today then at any other time in history! It is not enough to just know about this injustice, we must respond to it. We believe that we can best fight human trafficking through a collaboration of non-profits, faith communities, for-profits and individuals pledging to restore justice to those living in the chains of slavery.

End Cycle of Poverty: Poverty, according to Mae Cannon, whether domestic or global, is a vicious cycle in which many of the underresourced cannot escape. Cycles of poverty can affect every area of life: education, employment, income, health, housing, transportation, spiritual health, physical health, emotional needs and nutrition.
