When the accident occurred, Chapman said he may never do concerts or speak to the media again, his manager said in a statement. Now, the family hopes that these appearances will serve as a chance to proclaim "what they know and are deeply convinced of even in these difficult days, the Gospel is true and faith in Christ is our Hope," manager Jim House stated.
Chapman also has written an additional verse to his new single, "Yours," as part of the family's acknowledgment of Maria's death, according to the statement. Royalties from the song are being donated to Shaohannah's Hope, a non-profit organization that helps families reduce the financial barrier of adoption.
Chapman also plans to announce details for a major-market fall tour within the next few days.
