Change Their Story with Children's Hope Chest


SIGN UP TO RECEIVE THE LAUNCH E-MAIL!

In less than a week, you will receive an invitation to join Change Their Story, a Christmas campaign to help 5,000 children who need food, water, protection from trafficking, and education in primary schools.
Change Their Story is about making specific interventions in the lives of kids who are trapped by poverty and abuse. Consider these numbers.
  • 1 billion people are hungry and malnourished; every day nearly 30,000 kids will die from preventable causes.
  • 2 million children are trapped in sex slavery, and every 2 minutes another child is prepared for abuse.
  • Up to 70 million kids are not in school — because they are out looking for food, water, and money.
Each of the children represented in these statistics has a story. And right now that story is messed up. It’s a story filled with abuse, malnutrition and lack of opportunity.

But we can all help change the story for these kids! 

When you join the Change Their Story team, you will receive a free fundraising Web site and the tools you’ll need to e-mail all of your contacts. From there, you’ll commit to a fundraising goal and then ask your friends and family to make financial contributions to benefit orphans this Christmas. We’ll even help you write the support letters and integrate with your Facebook profile.

Your fundraising goal will have a specific focus on one of these areas, which you will choose:


  • Fight Extreme Poverty: Providing food & water to kids in Africa
  • Protect Girls from Sex-Trafficking: Protecting girls in Russia from being kidnapped into the sex slave trade
  • Provide an Education: Putting children in Africa back in the classroom
All you have to do to Change Their Story is share a little piece of your Christmas with one of these children.

This Christmas, ask your friends and family to spend a few of their Christmas dollars on behalf the poor. Be the one that shows them that Christmas is more than a gift wrapped box. It’s about God sending His son Jesus into the world to change our messed up stories!

Thanks again, and keep your eyes open for the Change Their Story launch e-mail early next week!
For the Fatherless,

Tom Davis
CEO

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t

Holding the Snake by His Head

Image
I had a dream this morning, it started out with me standing in the front yard of my childhood home holding a rattlesnake's mouth shut with my thumbs on top, four fingers on bottom. He was glaring at me with eyes that said "let up your grip and I'll strike hard and fast" I was walking out of my house into the yard with him just'a twitching and flailing around furiously. There were other people around me but I couldn't make out their faces ( you know how dreams are) but I was holding it and trying to figure out how to kill a snake when you're squeezing his mouth shut with your hands. Should I hold him high above my head and throw him like I'm tossing a basketball back in play? No, I can't throw far, he'll probably fall on my head and bite my neck! Should I have someone cut his body off while I'm still holding his mouth shut? Should I get someone to stab him in the head, between my thumbs, risking my hands getting cut? Oh lord, what am I go
