118: Following God into the Unknown with Beth Guckenberger of Back2Back Ministries

Back2Back Ministries' primary mission is to provide every orphan child a home and place to belong, all 163 Million orphans in the world. With providing holistic orphan care, Back2Back has shaped and changed the world of orphan care and trauma training in many countries around the world, including countries in the 10/40 window. Although this ministry has a global reach, Back2Back has humble beginnings of two people who traveled to Mexico with basically no money, didn't know the language, but had a heart to love every orphan in the name of Jesus.

 

In this episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller sit down with Beth Guckenberger, co-founder and co-executive director of Back2Back Ministries to hear the story of how God doesn't always show us his whole plan, but if we follow him in the little steps, you never know where he may bring you and how he may use your life to impact the world. This episode shares the story of Back2Back, but it also introduces listeners to what holistic care involves and how understanding holistic care will help you understand trauma and love those who are difficult to love.
