A blog about adoption, foster care, and God's heart for the orphan.

Holy Sharing for the Glory of Christ, This is Awesome!

I made the tough decision not to attend Summit this year. And in case you are wondering, Summit is just about the most awesome orphan care conference held in the US each year. I have never attended one, because of my school schedule, but they routinely get the best speakers, the biggest numbers, and the most extensive breakout sessions. It is THE orphan care conference.

My father, in an unbelievably generous and amazing surprise gesture, offered to fund my attendance at this year's Summit. But, because nothing stresses me out so much as the panic-inducing triumvirate of claustrophobic air travel, immense crowds, and chatty, well-meaning strangers, I declined. I asked my dad if, instead, he would be willing to fund my purchase of the audio downloads from the main sessions, and he, being a fantastic guy, agreed. Blessed beyond measure, that's me!

And then, through Twitter, I heard the following news, which absolutely defies superlatives:

For the first time EVER, you can all watch Summit LIVE!!
Just go here.

I don't have words. Except that God is astoundingly good, and His servants are astoundingly sacrificial in their pursuit of the fatherless. May we all give as selflessly as these folks have to spread the word of God's love for orphans and the universal call for believers to serve them in their distress!!
