SATURDAY NIGHT FUN

Adoption

Adoption Is Greater Than The Universe - John Piper



John Piper talks about theological adoption and why we should adopt children.


Ethiopia's Orphans, Adoption, and Magnifying God



This video was created from footage captured on Carolina Hope Christian Adoption Agency's recent trip to Ethiopia with one of Desiring God's cameramen. Every shot of this particular video was taken at one of orphanages with which we work, an orphanage that is located in a village with 20,000+ known cases of AIDS. It is a profoundly needy area. The video is interspersed with quotations from John Piper's book "Don't Waste Your Life." (less)

Carolina Hope is the awesome agency we used to adopt the twins . They have recently opened up a Ethiopia program . They did a benefit concert with Caedmons Call and showed these video clips...... the first once is amazing in how he basically says that the Church is responsible to step up and support adoption. The second one just broke my heart.
