Colleen and I just returned from the Orphan Summit in Minneapolis that was held on April 29th and 30th. It was a spectacular gathering of ministries and organizations and ordinary people to share what God is doing in response to James 1:27. The conference was overflowing with information about orphan care, adoption and foster care. Some of the speakers included John Piper (Bethlehem Church), Mary Beth Chapman (Show Hope), Tom Davis (A Child's Hopechest) and many others. There was worship music from the Desperation Band and Steven Curtis Chapman. We were encouraged and blessed to be with 1200 other believers that have a similiar passion for helping the least of these. For more information on how to help orphans here in the United States and around the world, please see the offical Orphans Promise web-site at www.orphanspromise.org
