Father to the Fatherless

“I want to be remembered as a committed husband and father, and as a man who was an advocate for the fatherless—who did something to help the poorest of the poor.”

Davis says he doesn’t want to merely “stand before God with my accomplishments,” and hopes that when he meets Jesus face to face, he won’t feel tempted to list the five books he’s written, the 10 years he spent as a youth pastor, or even his current position as president of Children’s HopeChest, an international orphan-care organization.

“I want to know there were orphans whose lives were transformed because I did something tangible to show them the father-heart of God.”
