...and, here's SUPER-DAVE!
On our way to the airport...with David Trask seated every so patiently in the back seat (thus, the rear view mirror picture--btw, all David's idea)...these guys are about to embark on a few more days on the road. As many of you know, David is Steven's Road Manager. An invaluable part of our team. He works hard and gets things done. Don't quite know what we'd do without you DT!
YOU ARE the Man Trask!!! Have a great time in FL. Please ask SCC for me...."So, what IS IT that he knows that the prince didn't!?!?!" (forgot to ask him that in SC!)
Your buddy,
JH

Did you take this when you lost control of the car? It looks like your about to run into the median! And there's Dave just grinnin' away...

Having had the blessing of meeting "Super Dave" on several occasions, I couldn't agree more about how awesome he is! (and look at that amazing smile) ;-) Servant's heart, get-the-job done, full of kindness, and humor to boot! (as evidenced in his video w/ SCC a few ago). Hope we get to see you next month when you are out to WA. Call us!
What a team all of you are. Thanks for your faithfulness so we fans can enjoy the miracle of each moment and blessing He pours forth thru Steven. It wouldn't happen w/o all y'all!

Hi Grace,
Let me first say what an honor to be Steven Curtis Chapman's personal assistant. He truly is a man of God and is so devoted to his music, family and ministry.
My name is Gina Flanders and I am part of the organization called Hope's Hope, a non profit org that was created to help raise awareness for rare and fatal neurological diseases in children. Hope Johnston of Apex, NC was the inspiration for Hope's Hope.
I know that Steven is a compassionate song writer and family man that has done everything for the sake of the call and that is why I am writing to you. I am so moved by his words and his passion for following Jesus Christ.
I have already contact his booking agent and they had reviewed our request and said he is very limited to doing charity fundraisers for his own ministry that it would be impossible for him to do more. I understand his big demands and many requests, but I wanted you and he to know something about Hope's Hope.
Would you be willing to communicate with me, and if so, you can email me at ginaflanders@gmail.com. Please visit our webiste hopes-hope.org. You will be very moved by these stories and I cannot imagine that Steven would not be willing to consider donating anything that we could auction off at our fundraisers.
Thank you for your time Grace and may GOD continue to bless Steven and his music and ministry. If there is a phone number that I could contact you at please let me know via your email.
God Bless,
Gina Flanders

I am writing on behalf of my sister who is a long-time, devoted fan of Steven Curtis Chapman. Right now she is going through a very rough time in her life and I wondered if Steven Curtis Chapman ever sends words of encouragement to his fans. It would mean the world to her and perhaps lift her spirits during the tough times ahead. I do not wish to go into details at this point due to the sensitive nature of her circumstances, but I can provide a mailing address if this request is possible.
Thank you

I can't imagine your emotions as someone who's worked so closely with the Chapmans. My thoughts, prayers, and tears are with you too.

Grace, thank you for all the work you do "behind the scenes". I can only imagine that you are a part of the Chapman family and are also grieving with them. Please know that you and the Chapman family are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember that we have a great, loving God, who holds you now and weeps with you. Prayers now for all that you need, God would provide. He will.

Grace thank you for being there with the Chapmans I will keep you in my prayers as well as Mama and Papa Chapman. Stevens Mom was always a great listener to me.
