84. Hope Through the Lens of ORR’s Photographer

84. Hope Through the Lens of ORR’s Photographer

In this heartfelt episode, Rebecca Pratt sits down with a dedicated photographer from Orphan Relief and Rescue whose mission goes far beyond capturing images. As he documents the lives of children rescued from trafficking, he shares his own powerful journey—from losing both parents at a young age to growing up in an ORR’s orphanage safe home, founded in 2009, that became his home and source of hope. Through faith, perseverance, and the support of those around him, he transformed personal loss into a calling to serve others. He discusses the challenges of traveling into remote villages, the emotional impact of witnessing difficult circumstances, and the joy he finds in helping vulnerable children. What began as a path marked by fear and uncertainty has become a life filled with purpose, strengthened by faith and the love he receives from the children he serves.

82. Protected on Every Side: ORR’s Bodyguard Interview

In this powerful episode, Rebecca Pratt sits down with her trusted bodyguard in West Africa to discuss his unique role serving alongside Orphan Relief and Rescue (ORR). More than physical protection, his work involves standing in the gap spiritually as ORR rescues and restores vulnerable children. He shares firsthand stories of transformation—children arriving dirty, hungry, and without hope, then growing into clean, healthy, educated young people with renewed futures. He also recounts a remarkable moment during a community gathering when he witnessed angels surrounding the meeting, bringing reassurance of God’s protection over the mission. Rebecca and her guest discuss the realities of working in areas affected by trafficking, spiritual darkness, and rural insecurity, while emphasizing the importance of faith, courage, and spiritual covering in the field. This conversation offers a rare and moving glimpse into the unseen battles behind rescue work—and the hope that continues to overcome them.

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.
