Do Something

This is a moving video that Brian and I wanted to share. It's from the Children's Hopechest website. We heard and met Tom Davis, the CEO of Children's Hopechest, at a Caroline's Promise Fundraiser early in 2009. Brian said that after he heard him speak the call to adopt became even more personal to him, the call was so clear to him then. We just thought we'd share this video and you can check out their website. There are great ways to get involved with orphans on here: mission trips, sponsorship of kids, sponsorship to help raise funds for wells, school buildings, etc. for large groups or communities to make an impact, even ways for your church to sponsor an orphanage.

Another cool thing that I wanted to tell you about: Saturday, March 6 from 8am-12pm. Blaise Baptist Church in Mocksville is having their annual Adoption & Orphan Care Expo. The speaker in the morning will be Peter Abrera, an Ethiopian that works with Children's Hopechest and coordinates orphan care in Ethiopia. At the event there will be family testimonies, breakout sessions, expert panels, informational booths, and music by recording artist Martin Moore. And it's free and open to the public!
