Join the Chapmans in China (sorta)

Steven & Maty Beth sent me a link tonight and I'm using it to invite you to join the trip the Show Hope team is currently on in China virtually. Here's the link to the blog of a photographer traveling with them. AustinMann.com/trek.

So as you enjoy the fireworks this weekend, be praying for the Chapmans and the team there opening the special needs orphans facility, Maria's Big House of Hope, in the land where fireworks were created.  :-)

Countdown to China Trip

The bus rolled to Women of Faith last night. If all has gone as planned, the Chapman camp is sleeping somewhere in St Louis.

Had a day full of meetings with Steven yesterday regarding what is ahead. (nothing to report here yet)

Meanwhile, the packing rush for them as they head to China for roughly 4 weeks is on. 

And, here's an article on the Show Hope offices open house here in Franklin earlier this week.

Welcome to the SH Offices

It's open house day at the Show Hope offices. Here's the logo that greets you at the front door hand painted by our own amazing Grace. : )

Show Hope Open House Today

Here in Franklin, TN today we're preparing for the Show Hope open house.  The Show Hope team has moved down the hall at their location and I'm checking out the new digs later today.  : )

Privileged

As I sit in my house this Saturday morning, I realize just how privileged I am.

I'm listening to 4 songs you can't wait to hear. I can't wait for you to hear them. (but no idea when you will)

Hopeful. Vulnerable. Incredible. Profound. The Gospel.

wow.

Wendys Frosty & Helping Orphans

This weekend, you have a chance to treat Dad and helping orphans. Again this year we’re calling your attention to Wendy’s 3rd Annual “Father’s Day Frosty Weekend” to raise money for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. 

For every one frosty sold in the U.S. during the weekend, Wendy’s will donate 50 cents to the Foundation that is dedicated to increasing the adoptions of more than 150,000 children in North America’s foster care systems. $2.7 million for the charity! 

And new this year, Wendy’s has introducing the “Father’s Day Frosty e-card” where you’re able to go online to send celebrity designed e-cards or better yet! create a personalized e-card to send to your dad on his special day. 

The web guru designed Steven’s. : ) For each card created or sent, Wendy’s will donate 25-cents to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Happy Father's Day to all!
