Make Room:

A Guide to Biblical Justice in South Africa

In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. And then God made room for us … although He was under no obligation to do so.

Designed as a resource for you, your family and your church, Make Room asks us to begin making room in every aspect of our thoughts, perceptions and actions as we navigate our journey of sharing God’s Good News and his Kingdom to our families, congregations and communities.

Make Room is an AOG Group publication, born out of the desire of our Group and its national leadership to earnestly grapple with the theological foundations, principles and tools for justice in the context of South Africa.

This book is a guide that will help us begin a conversation about the ways that we can approach corporate and individual justice.

Make Room asks us to begin to re-learn what we have been taught, to re-read our history and our Bibles, and to re-discover each other.

It asks us to consider the “very good”-ness of our relationship with God and the “very good”-ness of our relationship with others.

Make Room Conversation Groups

Most of us are, in some way, justice-minded, but to make up our minds about what justice means for Jesus, we are required to become justice-talkers and then, ultimately, justice-doers.

The main aim of the Make Room Conversation Groups is to enable people from all walks of life to talk together in a safe space where we can explore, process and learn together.

After successfully running a number of groups, we have carefully packaged resources to empower you to start having these conversations in your own circles of influence.

A free, downloadable, facilitator’s guide and series of short teaching videos will enable to you run this 8-week course either online or in-person. All you need is for each participant to have access to the Make Room Book so that they can pre-read chapters that have been allocated for discussion each week.

We know that this process has the potential to be incredibly impactful and is an effective tool for nation building. We are excited and expectant for what God is going to do in you and through you over the course of your Conversation Group.

Thank you for facilitating such meaningful conversations around making room and biblical Justice. I feel enriched, challenged, encouraged and equipped and I’m excited about where the Lord is leading us as a church in this area. Thank you for being obedient to His voice and putting pen to paper. And thank you for giving up your time to “meet” with us all. It’s hugely appreciated!

I really enjoyed the content. The content of the book and content of the discussions really taught me so much and opened up my eyes to start seeing things in a different way and to start questioning the way I think about certain things. I loved listening to others experiences and opinions and connecting with like-minded people. I also loved the practicality towards the end chapters describing how we should go about social justice work in the church.

I really enjoyed the course. It has helped shape my thinking in how we do justice and the conversation around it within the church context. The way we approach it both within and out the church. The example of relief, rehab and development has been very helpful and I use it in many different conversations. As well as the history of South Africa and our approach to justice.
