    A Story of Hope and Resilience with Dorice Lusuli - Kenya Program Manager with Baba Nyumbani

    Episode 56 with Dorice Lusuli: A Story of Hope and Resilience. I’m thrilled to share my conversation with Dorice Lusuli, whose inspiration led to my new children’s book, The Sun Will Shine on My Tomorrow. She has bravely chosen to share her story with the world. It is a story of hope and resilience. Dorice is a wife, mother of two beautiful children, and the Program Manager with BabaNyumbani in Kenya. Join me as Dorice shares her journey as a young girl struggling to navigate hopelessness, loss, and grief, only to be met by a community of loving people who saw her need, met it, and walked with her through the hills and valleys of life. It is an honour to call Dorice myfriend. Dorice's life is a powerful testimony of hope and resilience in the face of significant challenges. After meeting with Dorice and getting to know her, I quickly knew we had an incredible connection as friends. I heard her journey and, by God'sgrace, reflected it in a children's book. My new children’s book,The Sun Will Shine on My Tomorrow, is now available!   About the book, The Sun Will Shine on My Tomorrow: “After losing her parents, young Dorice felt overwhelmed by fear, grief, and sadness. She fervently prayed to God for food, school fees, and protection for her siblings and grandmother. With her grandmother’s loving support and the help of avisitor she met at church, Jim from Baba Nyumbani, a ministry dedicated to serving orphans by providing a safe place to flourish and be loved, Dorice found hope! God answered her prayers, revealing opportunities she never dreamedof. Follow Dorice as she courageously recounts her inspiring journey from despair to hope.” www.castlequaybooks.com www.babanyumbani.org

    A Story of Hope and Healing through Adoption with Rebekah Ronald Episode 52

    The newest episode on the podcast highlights Rebekah Ronald, wife and mom to three beautiful children and a story of hope and healing through adoption. Rebekah was adopted from Romania in the early 90s. Her story is a miracle after miracle. God kept showing up in tangible, loving ways, reminding her that God is never late. The full episode is now available on Spotify, YouTube and Apple. A few details from Rebekah about her story.“I was born in 1988 in Romania, and at the time, it had been 40 years of hardship, with limited freedom of speech, very little heat and electricity, and low food supplies. Romania's communist rule ended in December 1989. During this time, many families grew, and the orphanages began to overflow. So, Romania had to find a way to let the world know that there was a need for the kids to be adopted.They started a show called A Shame of a Nation in 1990. It highlighted the high demands and needs in Romania and in the orphanages. Everyone around the world knows about this show, and that's when many Christian families and believers reached out to help. My adopted Mom and Dad had three boys and were among the many families called to adopt.After much prayer, discernment, and reaching out to their church family to walk alongside my Mom and Dad, they hired a translator and went to Romania in 1992. With high adoption demand, all the translators knew where to take the families: the inner cities, where orphanages were overflowing. Most people did not think twice about the orphanages in the suburbs. Back then, they would send the healthy kids to the cities and the kids with intellectual or physical disabilities to the suburbs. The Lord made it very clear to my Mom and Dad where to go in Romania.” Tune in to hear the rest of her story of hope and healing! #newpodcast #faithstories #hope #podcast #conversationsandconnections

We were heartened to see and know that God‘s word is being faithfully preached throughout the world.” - Tim Challies.Not only did they co-author the book, but they have also included videos from each place they visited that provide a vivid learning experience that you won’t want to miss!
