Continuing to fight the staggering number of orphans worldwide, Steven Curtis Chapman and Shaohannah’s Hope are spreading the message, “Giving a little changes a lot. Give change now,” with the “Change for Orphans” campaign officially kicking off this fall beginning September 20th. The money collected will show hope to an orphan each tour night by financially helping to provide a loving forever family.
So start collecting your loose change, bring it to the concert nearest you, and drop it off at the Shaohannah's Hope booth.
“The need of orphans is so great that we too often believe the lie that one person can’t do anything significant. But this is a unique opportunity to make a difference just by collecting your loose change and gathering a couple friends to do it with you, by donating that pile of coins you have lying around, or by giving up a cup of coffee each week and bringing in that money. Small things add up, and together we can change the life of an orphan.” - Stephen Curtis Chapman
We are inviting people to join us by showing hope and changing their world for orphans. Through big and small ways, we can each follow in the footsteps of Jesus and care for the needy and the orphan, whether it be through mobilizing our community, giving generously, or going out to love waiting children. We can take advantage of right now to show hope to an orphan, and it can start with just a little change.
In support of the Show Hope movement, the change campaign will begin in less than one month when Steven Curtis Chapman embarks on his nationwide tour “Live in This Moment” with labelmates Sanctus Real and Bethany Dillon. Chapman will be spreading the word to his concertgoers to “give change now” by collecting loose change and bringing it to the concert in their respective areas (ideally in check form or converted to bills).
We Are...
- AWARE of the need of orphans around the world,
- RESPONDING to God's love for us and call to care for orphans,
- SHOWING HOPE to waiting children.
