Our hearts are so heavy as today as we think of the Chapman family as they face the tragic loss of their daughter. You can read the story here. Steven Curtis Chapman had a huge impact on our decision to adopt, and we are greiving for their family today.
On an exciting note...Long before we made the decision to adopt from China, our hearts were drawn to the country itself after reading the story of Brother Yun. We have especially been praying in light of the recent earthquakes that an open door for the Gospel would be made in the midst of tragedy. Rachel received an exciting e-mail from a foster care worker near Beijing the other day stating that she felt revival was on the way to her country. She stated that China's citizens are pulling together in a way that they never have before and seem to be open to the message of Jesus and hope. Praise God!
