As Christians gathered to explore how faith informs their response to pressing global issues, animal concerns emerged as a crucial yet often overlooked area for compassionate action. From Dr Dustin Crummet’s compelling theological insights on why animal advocacy is an essential part of Christian impact to Thom Norman’s strategic insights into tackling factory farming, the conference highlighted a renewed commitment to seeing animals as part of God’s beloved creation.

In anticipation of the upcoming Christians for Impact 2024 conference, we spoke with Vesa Hautala about why animal advocacy has become one of the organisation’s top focus areas. Christians for Impact, dedicated to helping Christians tackle pressing global issues, sees animal welfare—especially for farmed animals—as a vital yet often overlooked area for impactful action. In this interview, Vesa shares insights into CFI’s approach, the theological foundations that guide their work, and practical steps Christians can take to make a difference for animals in their daily lives and communities.
