Daniel Clark is a friend, co-worker, songwriter, philospher, and fellow blogger. At Children’s HopeChest, he’s a madman at recruiting new churches into our orphanage sponsorship program. This summer, we sent his family to Russia for 9 weeks to lead summer camp trips. YouthWorker Journal asked him to write an article about his experiences which he titled, Bringing Hope to Orphans.

In the article, Daniel writes:

These children have become my friends, my brothers and sisters, my children. I have looked into their eyes, and I have realized what is most important in life. Despite the challenge and despair of their condition, they are God’s kids.

Daniel’s right on, they are God’s kids–as we all are. The full text of Daniel’s article is avaiable here.

P.S. Daniel and Julie had a daughter right before Christmas–Lucina Miriam. Congratulations Daniel and Julie!
