"Is God good? Even when he's not doing things I would define as good?"
A few years ago I met lovely, hilarious Annie in a sand pit. She was brave enough to meet me sight unseen in a Kansas City playground after I'd been quasi-stalking their blog detailing their life in Germany. Annie and husband Walt worked for our organisation at the time, and as often happens with international orgs, we rarely had chance to see each other but once a year or so. But each of those times felt like catching up with old friends. They are warm, kind and so, so funny, and they can both tell a story that will keep you hanging on every word (and frequently, in stitches). This is one of those stories, a love story 23 years in the making, and it's for anyone who has waited or wondered why.
To hear it straight from Walt:
"This was such a special project for me, because I got to live through it. For 5 years I’ve wanted to make Chloe’s story into a film... I am so excited that God has allowed us to be part of a much bigger story than we could ever have imagined. "
Walt now works for Moving Works, a faith-based film company, and they share stories "about Jesus: His Character, His Word, and His Mission." You can check out more films at their site and download Chloe's story. And maybe share it, too?
I mean, you can't say no to that face.
And you really can't say no to this one, either:
