In Memory of Maria

My first step into becoming involved with loving orphans was through Steven Curtis Chapman's organization Shaohannah's Hope. I heard about it on the radio and fell in love with him and his family and this organization that he started. The Chapmans have three biological children who are essentially grown and have now adopted three little girls from China. Out of his desire to see all orphans taken care of he started Shaohannah's Hope to mobilize Christians to care for orphans, one of the main things they do is provide funds to help people adopt.

So I was very upset to learn today that the Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria, was killed in an accident on Wednesday night. I cannot imagine what pain that family must be going through, would you please take a moment right now and pray for that family. If you would like to learn more about Maria and see a video of her you can go to: In Memory of Maria .

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
