In this powerful episode, Deb sits down with Myra—a detective and school resource officer—who shares how her first missions trip with Orphan Relief and Rescue to West Africa transformed her heart, her faith, and her perspective.

What began as a step into the unknown quickly became a deeply personal encounter with love, resilience, and purpose.

Myra opens up about:

Experiencing her first mission’s trip and the unexpected cultural similarities she discovered
The overwhelming, pure love she received from the children
Meeting “Mon Ami”, a brave young girl who survived being ostracized as a “witch”
How this encounter challenged Myra’s identity and shifted her prayers from self-focused to selfless
Witnessing the power of Jesus move in a village—and seeing it inspire her coworker to embrace faith

This episode is a moving reminder that when we step outside our comfort zones to serve, God often transforms us in the process.
