About the Album Cover.
On May 12, 2008 a 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit the Sichuan Province of China sadly ending the lives of nearly 90,000 people. The Chapman family was in China at the time wrapping up a 4 week trip, checking in at the Shanghai airport hundreds of miles away on the other side of the country and headed home to celebrate Maria Sue Chapman’s 5th birthday. They didn’t even feel the quake.
Aware of the disaster through phone contact, there at the airport the Chapman family and team instantly began praying for those they knew and those they had never met there. Sadly, just days later, they experienced their own earthquake, the loss of little Maria.
Steven has often remarked in these past months that, “the Chapmans are likely the most prayed for, supported, and loved family in the world.” Within weeks of the tragedy on May 21, 2008, Steven was beginning to talk about going to the earthquake zone to serve however he could and to proclaim the comfort and Hope that was sustaining his family through the pain of their loss, to those in China who had also suffered their own loss of a Chinese daughter or son in the disaster.
In July 2009, the Chapman family returned to China and participated in ShowHOPE’s (the foundation the Chapmans founded to help care for orphans) grand opening of a special needs orphan care facility named Maria’s Big House of Hope in honor of their daughter. Steven was privileged to do a concert in the effected area and participate in relief work efforts there on the ground. The photograph on the cover of BEAUTY WILL RISE was captured while Steven was inside the earthquake zone. Behind Steven is a portion of the ruins that the quake’s massive and deadly landslides left behind. And yet... in the earthquake in China, in the ‘earthquake’ in his own life, and those in other’s lives, Steven believes on... that BEAUTY WILL RISE.
