A letter from Steven Curtis Chapman and Scott Hasenbalg

Dear Friend,

We serve an amazing God who cares so much for the hurting, the lost, the rejected. Throughout the Scriptures, from Deut. 10:18, "He defends the cause of the fatherless..." to James 1:27, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before the Father is this: to care for (visit) orphans and widows in their distress...", we see that God's heart beats for orphans. But even more amazing is the fact that He asks us, His church, to join Him in His Kingdom work.

It's like God is leaning down, as a father to his child, saying, "Do you want to do something crazy? I want to invite you to truly come and know me, to see me show up, to see me come in power and bring glory to my name. I want to invite you to care for orphans and participate in adoption, because I am the Father to the fatherless and I will be found there.” What an amazing invitation! Shaohannah's Hope wants to help you answer this call.

As you step out in faith, we encourage you to H.O.P.E.- Hear from God, Obey Him, Plan properly, and Expect miracles! Remember, God delights in putting the fatherless in families, just as it gave Him great pleasure to purchase our freedom and bring us to Himself through the blood of Jesus. When we were alone, rejected, undeserving and broken, He became a Father to the fatherless; let us, as the body of Christ, go forth and do likewise.

With hope for the fatherless,
Steven Curtis Chapman and Scott Hasenbalg (Executive Director, Shaohannah's Hope)
