In this episode, two powerful stories highlight Orphan Relief and Rescue’s commitment to restoring dignity and hope to vulnerable children. The stories highlight two core themes: 1) God Gives us identity and purpose 2) Healing and transformation happen in the context of love and belonging.
1. Daniel’s Story:
A boy suffering from seizures and unable to speak was rejected and beaten by his community, who believed he was demon-possessed. The Social Welfare Department asked ORR to intervene. ORR’s Country Director and his wife took the boy into foster care, naming him Daniel. Just six weeks later, Daniel began to speak—marking the beginning of his healing journey. The story emphasizes that knowing our identity and value in God changes everything.
2. The Baby Girl:
While talking with local women about child trafficking, Rebecca encountered a critically underweight baby girl (4.7 lbs at 8 months old). Although tempted to rush her to the hospital, Rebecca felt prompted to find a different way—one that empowered the community rather than creating dependency.
This moment revealed how God can move supernaturally through natural decisions when we truly listen. It’s a call to live with intentional faith and trust in God's guidance.
