The Christian Post on Summit VIII
Summit VIII was nothing short of amazing. Even for those of us who spent a lot of time scurrying behind the scenes, the passion and wisdom and experiences brought not only by formal presenters, but by virtually every attendee, left us full-to-the-brim. Many of the workshop and plenary sessions will be available for download online [...]
Is the Focus of Christian Giving Shifting Overseas?
The Philanthropy Roundtable, a respected Washington think tank focused on philanthropic engagement, recently published a highly significant article asking whether giving by American Christians is shifting increasingly from local priorities to overseas engagement. Author Karl Zinsmeister (formerly head of the White House Domestic Policy Council) draws upon extensive data and anecdotal evidence to highlight a [...]
Kay Warren Video on Summit VIII!
Kay Warren today released a great video invitation to Summit VIII. We’re so very thankful for Kay, Pastor Rick, Elizabeth Styffe, Lynn Young, Carol Cooper and the whole Saddleback team — especially now in the final week as they prepare for the monumental task of serving as host church for Summit VIII!
What It’s Like to be a Foster Parent
Our friends at FosterPodcast.org recently released a simple video they titled “What It’s Like to Be a Foster Parent.” It’s just four minutes of Tim, a foster-to-adopt parent, sitting on the floor and speaking frankly about what the journey looked like for him and his family.

Three years ago we moved from Washington, DC to the much less metropolitan environs of California’s great Central Valley. Although we’ve missed our community in DC [...]
Buckner Devotional “Abba, Father”
Our good friends at Alliance member Buckner International recently published a devotional titled Abba, Father: A 30 day devotional guide celebrating the Hope of Family. Thirty short readings paired with Scripture passage explore topics ranging from foster care to theology of adoption to the church’s role in orphan care. Many of the authors are individuals [...]
Remarkable Blog Post from Kim Van Brunt
Reading the many recent posts in the blogosphere about Summit and the Christian orphan movement has been inspiring. But one today was definitely among my very favorite. It made we wish the Alliance possessed a teleporter (you’ll see why). More importantly, it reminded why it is so vital that all of us who care about [...]
Master’s Champ Bubba Watson and Simple Red Wagons
This year’s Master’s golf tournament ended with a nail-biter sudden death finish. It also propelled into the limelight a follower of Jesus who cares deeply for the orphan in distress. Bubba Watson’s official bio expresses that “Bubba and his wife, Angie are committed Christians who share a passion for philanthropy and dedicate as much time [...]
