Jeff and his wife, Chris, are parents to eleven children, many through the blessing of adoption, both domestically and from Ethiopia and China. God has given them a heart for the fatherless and a desire to share with the church about how we all can more effectively engage in orphan prevention rather than focusing primarily on orphan care.
