    81. Courage on the Frontlines of Child Rescue: ORR’s Country Director

    In this episode, we sit down with our Country Director in West Africa to discuss the realities of anti-trafficking work — the dangers, the victories, and the life-changing impact of rescue and restoration. He shares candidly about the risks involved in confronting traffickers, including the need for security and bodyguards while operating in some of the most dangerous areas. Yet despite the challenges, the reward of seeing children rescued and families transformed makes every risk worthwhile. One of the most inspiring stories comes from a village where child trafficking had become a way of life for nearly every household. Through ongoing rescue efforts, 53 children have already been freed, with plans to expand and welcome even more children into safety next year. This episode also highlights the incredible transformation that happens when hope and faith enter a community. Families who once depended on trafficking are now embracing Christianity, experiencing healing, restoration, and a new future for their children. You’ll hear a touching story that reveals the heartbreaking contrast between trafficked and non-trafficked children — and the powerful difference rescue, love, and faith can make in a child’s life.

    78. Obedience: When Waiting Becomes the Greater Response

    Rebecca Pratt and Deb Baliko were asked by a listener, “Can you share a story, from working in Africa, where the Lord asked you to be obedient and it bared fruit?” Rebecca recounts a deeply moving encounter with a severely malnourished eight-month-old baby weighing just 4.7 pounds. Faced with the urgent instinct to intervene directly, she instead chose to follow what she believed was God’s prompting. That decision set off a chain of events—through local staff and consistent medical care—that not only saved a life but sparked a broader cultural shift. Mothers in the community began learning how to properly nourish their children, leading to lasting impact beyond a single child. Deb reflects on her own experiences preaching in West Africa, emphasizing the importance of listening to God’s voice and acting in obedience—even when it doesn’t align with instinct or logic. She also speaks to the power of personal testimony in ministry, and how sharing lived experiences can open hearts and bring hope. Sometimes the most impactful response isn’t immediate action—but faithful obedience that allows a greater solution to unfold.
