Small Town Big Miracle

One couple with a dream plus
one small Texas town equals one big miracle

POSSUM TROT, TEXAS, is an East Texas town so tiny you won't find it on most maps. Yet in this small town, God chose the bishop of a church and his wife to begin a movement with one simple word: adopt.

Family by family, God challenged the members of Bennett Chapel to adopt seventy-two of the toughest kids in the foster care system. It was the hardest challenge this comunity ever faced. But they were determined to give the kids something they had never experienced- the power of redemptive love.

This heart-affirming story is so inspirational it has attracted the attention of the national news, has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and on all major networks, and has appeared in articles in Reader's Digest, People, and Family Circle.

This is their story. This is their miracle. Let it inspire you!

"The people of Possum Trot may not be materially wealthy, but they are rich in love and compassion. This eloquent story of how they opened their hearts to more than seventy children touched and blessed me. Bishop Martin and his wife, Donna, have inspired me. My fervent hope is that the book will inspire and guide a movement of compassion in America to provide for the least among us."

-Tom Atwood, CEO of National Council for Adoptions
