About Show Hope:A ministry
founded by Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman to help care for the millions of
orphans around the world, Show Hope helps provide waiting orphans with forever
families by giving financial grants to those adopting. To date, Show Hope is an
internationally recognized voice for orphan advocacy and has given more than
2,300 financial grants, affecting the lives of children from 45 countries,
including the United States. In addition to giving financial grants, Show Hope
also empowers families, churches and communities with adoption and orphan care
resources and advocacy efforts to change the world for orphans.
In the summer of 2009, Show Hope opened the doors to Maria's
Big House of Hope, a six-story healing home facility located in Luoyang, China,
which provides surgeries and medical care for special needs orphans. The
mission of this healing home is to provide the highest level of care for these
orphans who are in desperate need of surgeries and medical attention, thus
enabling the children to thrive and increase the orphans' chances of being
adopted.
