We were excited to learn that our friend and 2009 Summit speaker Rob Mitchell, author of The Castaway Kid, will be interviewed on Focus on the Family today and tomorrow, November 18-19.  The program will be titled, Unveiling the Heart of an Abandoned Child (Part 1 of 2).  What Rob shared at Summit, as well as via his book, have been deeply impactful for those who’ve encountered them, and I have no doubt that the radio program will be as well.

In addition, today at 2 PM eastern the Alliance’s November webinar will explore basic elements of “Starting and Growing a Church-Based Orphan Ministry.”  The host church for this webinar is Oakwood Church of Wisconsin.  Expert instruction will come from Jason Weber of Hope for Orphans, which plays a powerful role nationwide in helping teach and support churches as they create and build adoption, foster and global orphan ministry.  Register for the webinar here.
