Orphan Ministry: July 2007 Archives
This Thursday from 1 - 2 p.m. I'm being interviewed about my new position at Carolina Hope Christian Adoption Agency by Kevin Boling of Calling For Truth on WLFJ's AM station (660) in Greenville, SC. It's a great opportunity to talk about adoption. There are many exciting things happening both in the adoption world in general and at Carolina Hope in particular.
Some of the people Kevin has interviewed in the past include Mark Dever, Noel Piper, Ligon Duncan, Richard Phillips, Steve Saint, and, most recently, renowned blogger Tim Challies. If you don't live in the Greenville area - or if you won't be near a radio, you can listen to the program live online here. The radio program begins at 1 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on Thursday, August 2nd. Please pray for me if you think about it.
I'm posting this link to our most recent press release so that churches become aware of Carolina Hope's passion for adoption and orphan ministry and our desire to serve churches in this ministry area. Please take a look.
Carolina Hope Press Release
Many thanks to Justin Taylor for announcing this press release on his blog. You can read it here.
Sally Lloyd-Jones, author of The Jesus Storybook Bible, wrote a post about the press release too. Thank you, Sally.
As some of you know, I spent the last three years as an assistant professor of Bible and Theology. God gave me three great years teaching college students. I will most definitely miss the college setting. So what am I doing now that I'm no longer teaching? Well, God has provided me an amazing opportunity to 
serve in another area I'm very passionate about, namely, adoption. I am now the Ministry Outreach Coordinator for Carolina Hope Christian Adoption Agency, a liscensed agency that services both domestic and international adoptions. My responsibilities are (1) networking with pastors/churches, mission agencies, children’s homes, and other organizations to inform them of Carolina Hope’s established full-service adoption ministry; (2) speaking in churches, Bible study groups, and other venues to present adoption within the context of the larger story of redemption; and (3) writing content for Carolina Hope’s website and articles for publication. If you know of a ministry that might be interested in having me come to speak on orphan ministry in general and adoption in particular, please let me know.
Laura Beauvais-Godwin, the director of the agency, and her husband Ray, an adoption attorney, have written the book on adoption. It's the best resource on adoption out there.
Here's a blog article I wrote on what orphan ministry involves according to James 1:27 and the larger story of redemption: Orphans, Adoption, and Fuling, China (James 1:27)
