Christian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman has long been serving the cause of orphans worldwide. Now he is hosting a live simulcast on Nov. 8 for “Orphan Sunday.”
Chapman has a long legacy of advocating on behalf of the world’s orphans, and even the tragic loss of his daughter Maria, adopted from China, has not stopped him from working to help orphans.
That’s why Chapman is helping to lead the charge on Nov. 8, “Orphan Sunday,” for a live event in Nashville with one goal: raising awareness of the more than 140 million orphans worldwide. The free event will be simulcast on television, satellite and the Web, featuring a special acoustical performance from Chapman, along with Focus on the Family President Jim Daly, a former orphan himself, and adoptive father Dennis Rainey, president of FamilyLife.
“Our experience with the miracle of adoption and the chance to touch the lives of orphans has been infinitely rich and full. It’s a privilege that God invites us to, and there are so many other children around the world who need homes and help,” said Chapman, who adopted three daughters from China.
Cry of the Orphan will hold this live event at no charge in Nashville, via simulcast and webcast, and for anyone who is interested in broadcasting the event.
A live radio feed of the entire event also will be available at no cost to any radio station wishing to air the event. For broadcast details, visit CryoftheOrphan.org
