God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

We love adoption, especially when it is done in a way that reflects our Heavenly Father’s adoption of us.

Dan Cruver with the Carolina Hope Christian Adoption Agency is a wonderful partner in gospel-centered adoption. Recently, we were able to send a cameraman and a camera with him on a trip to Ethiopia to help bring attention to the situation of orphans there.

Dan has written a great testimony of how something as simple as Marty, the cameraman, sitting down with the kids showed people Jesus. He writes:

The director of the orphanage ... told us that many professional cameramen come through their particular village (a village with 20,000+ known cases of AIDS) to capture footage, but he had never seen any of them sit on the floor to film. They always film while standing in order to protect their health. The orphanage director then went on to say that he was deeply moved that Marty did not hesitate to sit on the floor to film these beautiful children.

Along with capturing footage of their trip, we also have the opportunity to join with Carolina Hope at their benefit concert later this month. This event is to help with the launch of their new adoption ministry in Ethiopia. It's with Caedmon’s Call and is on February 29, 2008 in Greenville, SC.

We will be at the concert with a Don’t Waste Your Life table and a video message from John Piper. If you are interested in attending, tickets can be purchased online (and aren't that expensive, either). If you come, stop by our table and say hi.
