New Position: Ministry Outreach Coordinator for Carolina Hope
As some of you know, I spent the last three years as an assistant professor of Bible and Theology. God gave me three great years teaching college students. I will most definitely miss the college setting. So what am I doing now that I'm no longer teaching? Well, God has provided me an amazing opportunity to 
serve in another area I'm very passionate about, namely, adoption. I am now the Ministry Outreach Coordinator for Carolina Hope Christian Adoption Agency, a liscensed agency that services both domestic and international adoptions. My responsibilities are (1) networking with pastors/churches, mission agencies, children’s homes, and other organizations to inform them of Carolina Hope’s established full-service adoption ministry; (2) speaking in churches, Bible study groups, and other venues to present adoption within the context of the larger story of redemption; and (3) writing content for Carolina Hope’s website and articles for publication. If you know of a ministry that might be interested in having me come to speak on orphan ministry in general and adoption in particular, please let me know.
Laura Beauvais-Godwin, the director of the agency, and her husband Ray, an adoption attorney, have written the book on adoption. It's the best resource on adoption out there.
Here's a blog article I wrote on what orphan ministry involves according to James 1:27 and the larger story of redemption: Orphans, Adoption, and Fuling, China (James 1:27)

I cam across this post via SI. I am a pastor of a small church in the greater Phoenix, AZ area. God has blessed my wife and I with one wonderful duaghter who is now 6. We have considered adopting in the past since it appears we are not going to have any more children naturally, but the cost has been prohibitive. Are there any processes in place at Carolina Hope that might open the door for parents in full-time ministry to adopt without the massive fees usually associated with adoption?
Welcome back to the Upstate, Dan! I'm glad to hear how the Lord has been directing your steps.
Grace and peace to you!
Hey, we've heard of that agency and are rather fond of it! ;)
So glad to know you are close(r), even though it's TOO FAR away! (We really need to talk my sweet Larry into moving to Greer...)
grace & peace
it is great to hear that you are moving to a ministry that you are so passionate about. thank you for your invaluable time at BBC. i learned much about the book of Hebrews, and thanks for letting me ask my many questions. i will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. May the Lord greatly bless this new position that you are in and use your faithful service to help many children to reach Godly and loving homes.
I Cor. 15:58
so this was why. i was so confused. and now it all makes sense. congratulations! i will be praying for the Lord's blessing ... AND i will probably be in touch more and more often.
Wow, what a great opportunity! I will be praying for you and your family as you start this new job. That's pretty awesome that you get to go to the church where Dr. Phillips is ministering. He was a blessing at the PCRT...
God Bless...
