    100. First 100 days: How ORR’s Work Began

    In this episode, Deb and Rebecca look back at the first 100 days of Orphan Relief and Rescue and the early experiences that helped shape the organization’s approach to protecting vulnerable children. Rebecca shares how ORR began with a small team, limited resources, and a willingness to follow God’s lead. From the earliest work in Liberia—supporting healthy orphanages and confronting abusive ones—to building relationships in communities vulnerable to child trafficking, the team quickly learned the importance of listening to local leaders and responding to the real needs of families. What began with providing school uniforms and supplies grew into a much more holistic approach. Food, shoes, education, family support, microfinance, Savings & Loan groups, and community-led solutions all became part of addressing the circumstances that leave children vulnerable to trafficking. Rebecca also reflects on some of the most important lessons from those early days: walk humbly, depend on God, listen to local communities, and remain willing to learn and adapt. Today, those early seeds have grown into an anti-trafficking program serving 833 children, along with 61 children receiving care in ORR’s Safe Home. It’s a powerful look back at where ORR began—and how God has faithfully grown the work one relationship, one community, and one child at a time.

    99. God is on the Move: Corey’s reflections from West Africa

    Corey joins Deb to reflect on his recent trip to West Africa with Orphan Relief and Rescue. He shares the beauty of experiencing the global Church, serving alongside young people, and witnessing the impact ORR is making in local communities. A highlight of the trip was helping lead a pastors’ conference, equipping local leaders with biblical truth and encouraging them to lead as servants who point people to Jesus. Corey also shares how traveling to West Africa renewed his dependence on prayer and the Holy Spirit—and why giving young people opportunities to serve can shape their faith for a lifetime. How can we continue praying, supporting, and participating in what God is doing in West Africa? Learn More: Join us in protecting a child this school year.

    98. Returning to Africa: Mia shares about Faith, Adoption & Calling

    In this episode, Rebecca sits down with Mia, who first traveled with Orphan Relief and Rescue on a Vision Trip to West Africa and has now returned three times. For Mia, traveling to Africa carries a deeply personal significance. Born in Ethiopia, Mia and her younger sister were adopted after losing their mother at a young age. Years later, returning to Africa became an unexpected part of Mia’s own faith journey. Mia shares how the joy and childlike faith she witnessed in the children at ORR’s Safe Home reminded her of the faith she had as a little girl and drew her into a deeper relationship with God. With each trip, she has also felt a growing desire to serve children in Africa and explore what God may be calling her to do with her life. Now studying entrepreneurship and international business, Mia hopes to one day start a nonprofit of her own. She doesn’t yet know exactly what that will look like—but she is continuing to follow where God leads. Mia’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes when we step out to serve others, God uses the experience to transform our own hearts as well.

    97. Rosie’s Story: The Ripple Effect of One Rescue

    One girl’s rescue became the beginning of something much bigger. In this episode, Deb Baliko and Rebecca Pratt share the powerful story of Rosie, a young girl in a rural West African village who was malnourished, fearful, caring for her infant sister, and enduring abuse at home. Her older sister had already been trafficked to a neighboring country. After Rebecca felt prompted to return to Rosie’s village, Orphan Relief and Rescue stepped in to help provide her with safety, education, regular meals, and ongoing support. But what happened next was unexpected. During the visit, Rebecca chose to approach the family and community with kindness rather than confrontation. That decision opened the door to a remarkable conversation with a local man involved in trafficking. After being challenged to become a “hero” by helping children return home, he agreed to help. Within just 30 days, 35 children were brought back from trafficking and reunited with their families. For $50 a month or $600 a year, you can help protect one child by providing education, two meals a day, safety monitoring, and support for their family.

    96. One Girl Rescued, 100+ Children Set Free

    In this episode, Deb Baliko and Rebecca Pratt share an important update on Orphan Relief and Rescue’s Anti-Trafficking Initiative as 833 children prepare to return to school on October 1. While many children are already funded for the year ahead, 323 children are still waiting for support. Just $50 a month—or $600 for an entire year—helps provide a child with education, daily meals, and ongoing monitoring to help protect them from being trafficked or re-trafficked. Rebecca also shares the powerful story of Rose, a young girl rescued from trafficking whose story ultimately opened the door for more than 100 children from her village to be rescued and protected. Her story is a beautiful reminder that changing the life of one child can create a ripple effect across an entire community. Deb and Rebecca also discuss the role of faith, relationships, and ORR’s growing network of Community Freedom Centers, including a new center made possible by a donor who chose to honor the memory of her sons through a lasting investment in children and families. There is still time to help these 323 children begin the school year protected, fed, educated, and surrounded by people who are looking out for their safety.

    94. From the Front Lines: A Conversation with ORR’s Country Director

    In this episode, Peter, Orphan Relief and Rescue’s Country Director in West Africa, shares an encouraging look at the transformation taking place in the communities ORR serves. Peter reflects on the return of children who had been trafficked into slavery and the remarkable changes happening as families and community leaders begin to see children differently. As ORR combines practical intervention with the message of the Gospel, Peter is witnessing deeply rooted mindsets shift, children receive greater protection and care, and entire communities begin to change. He shares the story of one village that was once marked by fear, but is now experiencing new hope, development, and a growing church. Relationships with village chiefs, police, and government leaders have also strengthened, opening doors for greater collaboration and lasting change. Peter also recounts the heartbreaking story of a young boy who was branded with a hot iron, a powerful reminder of the abuse some children have endured and why ORR continues to advocate for both protection and justice. Through it all, Peter points to the Gospel as the foundation for lasting transformation. His vision is not simply to rescue children from trafficking, but to see communities changed from within—with thriving churches established in villages and local leaders equipped to protect and value their children for generations to come.
