86. From the Office to the Frontlines: Eileen's First Trip to West Africa

What happens when you witness the work of ORR with your own eyes?In this episode, Deb sits down with Orphan Relief and Rescue's new Finance and Business Manager, Eileen, to hear about her first trip to West Africa and how it inspired her.Eileen shares powerful moments from visiting villages where children have been rescued from trafficking and slavery, seeing families restored, and witnessing children receive nutritious meals, education, and the opportunity to grow up safely within their own communities. She also talks about the incredible joy of seeing entire communities being transformed through the love of Jesus.Alongside Eileen, her husband James—trained in combat and martial arts—spent time training local security guards who help protect ORR staff. Together they experienced the impact of ORR's work firsthand, including meeting local leaders, seeing the influence of a new Christian mayor, and participating in community meetings.This conversation offers an encouraging look at how God is changing lives in West Africa—and how every prayer, every donation, and every act of generosity helps make that transformation possible.Learn More and Get Involved:Mission Trip Ultimate Guidebook: Preparing Yourself to Go by: Rebecca M.
