MooreDean, Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryAuthor ofAdopted for Life"Johnny Carr is changing the conversation on the orphan crisis. I laughed, cried and winced in anger as Johnny shared stories from his personal and professional mission to care for the least of us. InOrphan Justice, Johnny brings us into a messy conversation and shows us practical solutions that can build consensus to move the needle." Ken ColemanTalk Radio Host ofThe Ken Coleman ShowAuthor ofOne Question: Life Changing Answers From Today's Leading Voices
