Maria’s Big House of Hope
I’ve been a fan of Steven Curtis Chapman’s music since I was 13 years old and he was just starting out. In the years since, his family became incredible advocates for adoption, bringing three little girls home from China to become a part of their family.
In fact, their adoption foundation, Show Hope, helped make it possible for us to bring Spencer home from South Korea. We are eternally grateful for their support.
Sadly, in 2008, tragedy struck the Chapmans when their daughter Maria was killed in a car accident outside of their home. She was just five years old.
But instead of pulling back in their grief, the Chapmans have redoubled their efforts in the cause of the 143 million children around the world who have lost their parents. They just opened Maria’s Big House of Hope, a home and surgery center to house some of the “least of these” children who need serious medical attention.
Check out the video above, which was put together by Caleb Chapman (their son, and an incredible musical talent himself).
