maria-face-shot.jpgSteven and Mary Beth Chapman are sharing their story in the national media this week.They were on Good Morning America yesterday and are scheduled to join Larry King tonight. Next week a People Magazine issue featuring an interview with the Chapmans will be on newsstands.

Pray God’s continued mercy and grace for this dear family, and join me in asking that the Lord will use their story of tragedy and God’s comfort to touch thousands who do not yet know the Savior (2 Corinthians 1).

Additionally, Steven has penned a new verse to the song, “Yours,”  with 100% of the artist’s royalties being donated to Shaohannah’s Hope, the non-profit organization founded by the Chapman family whose goal is to help families reduce the financial barrier to adoption. According to a press release, “Yours” producer Matt Brownlewee and the song’s co-writer Jonas Myrin are also contributing their royalties to Shaohannah’s Hope;  Sparrow Records will donate any monies received from the sales of the single, after deduction of expenses and royalties, to the effort.

Show your support for the Chapman family, remember Maria and help the adoption cause. Here’s one link to the new version of “Yours.”

UPDATE: Here’s a video clip about some artwork from Maria…which has been a source of comfort for her family.
