Episode Synopsis

Journey with us to Africa, India and beyond, as we uncover the incredible story of ZOE Empowers, a global movement focused on empowering marginalized and orphaned children. We sit down with Gaston Warner, CEO of the Global North for ZOE, to gain insight into the innovative programs developed to enrich lives and create sustainable change. Together we explore the moment Epiphanie Mujawimana, a Rwandan social worker, changed the game by asking young people not what they need, but what they need to help themselves.Our conversation ventures deeper into ZOE's empowering programs, each thoughtfully designed to provide vulnerable children everything from food security to business development training. We take a look at how local leaders, pastors, and school principals join forces to identify children in need, respect their faith and decisions, while guiding them on the path to self-reliance and resilience. The gospel holds a substantial role in Zoe's work, delicately introduced on the path to unlocking each individual child's future. Finally, we take you to the slums of India, a testament to Zoe's transformative impact. Here, lives have been changed and communities rebuilt. Gaston shares the heartwarming story of Jebes, a pastor from Florida, who dedicated his life to help vulnerable youth in India. We also bring you the inspiring tale of young Rwandans, once victims of abuse, finding strength in Christian love and forgiveness to reconcile with their abusers. This episode is a testament to the limitless power of empowerment, community, and faith in transforming lives. Tune in, be moved, and discover the power of empowerment to change the world.A note from our team here at UNREACHED...
