Content and Storytelling Writer

THE MISSION OF WORLD CHALLENGEWe seek to rescue orphans and widows from a life of abandonment, poverty, and hunger. By bringing them into loving home, renewed health, emotional well-being, a hope for the future and most of all a new friendship with Jesus. Where spiritual and material poverty overlap and Christians are ostracized and persecuted, we want to care for orphans and widows. Why?
