Introducing the Bauchams!

Here they are, the Bauchams: Voddie, Bridget, Jasmine, Trey, Elijah, Asher, Judah, Micah, Safya, and Amos. Did you notice? In the intro, we claim that the Bauchams have 7 children. Well, in February, the Lord blessed them with Amos, who became the eighth Baucham blessing. Enjoy the story of how the Lord has blessed their family through adoption.

EXCITING NEWS!

OK, slightly belated, but we hope no less exciting:

We are pleased to tell you that Grafted will be available for FREE on our blog during the month of July! That's right! We would love for as many people as possible to hear the wonderful stories AND the great theology that drove them. Would you help us get the word out? Please tell all your friends, neighbors, and relatives; put it up on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, or anything else you can think of.

And most important, please pray for all those who will watch. Thank you!

Sola Deo Gloria!

Introducing the Fryes

We have some exciting news coming this afternoon, so please check back today for our update! In the meantime, we'd like to reintroduce you to our families, including some clips. First, meet the Fryes: Erin and Emily, Lizzie, Mary, Charlotte, Tom, Henry, Alice Faith, and Beatrice (well, you won't actually see Beatrice in the clips-- she wouldn't be born for another 4 months.)

Pastor David on Spiritual Preparation for Adoption

Most of this clip is in the film, but was broken into pieces for editing purposes. Here it is in it's entirety:

This house is not lonely!

Art Linkletter and Bill Cosby each hosted shows where they interviewed children on live TV. The results? Usually hilarious, touching or both. This was also one of the blessings of doing Grafted: interviewing the children. Part of this clip survived the brutal editing process, but part did not. We wanted you to see it all:

Well, we are indeed still here. And, at long last, we have the DVDs (email us @ graftedthemovie@gmail.com) printed and ready... and boy do they look good!

In addition to that, we have a Vimeo account. The first taste of HD Vimeo uploaded goodness is right here:



Enjoy!

God is Still Good

It is with a mixture of sadness and rejoicing that we share the results of our entry into the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. We were not accepted as a semi-finalist in the film festival, which means our film will not be shown at this year's SAICFF in San Antonio.

We are sad that it did not make it into the SAICFF, but we rejoice in so many things. First and most important, we rejoice in the providence of God; although we don't yet know the future of this film, we know God does. This seeming defeat just reinforces that this film is NOT about how good we are at anything, but rather that this film is and always should be about the gospel. Then there are our earthly blessings: hearing all the adoption stories, rejoicing and crying through each one; working with each of the families; watching and enjoying the creative talents of our composers and artist; learning so much about the film making process, working together as a family; seeing God's providence through the wildfires and helping us complete the film; and growing in myriad other ways. We are grateful that you were willing to share this journey with us; your prayers kept us going and helped us complete this film.

We would ask that you continue to pray for us. We plan to enter this film in other festivals, and more importantly we are seeking other avenues where the message of sharing the gospel through adoption can be heard.

To God alone be the glory.

Randy, Pat, Caleb, and Lisa
