What if your church could transform lives across the globe while strengthening your local community? Discover how two Virginia pastors, Reverend Gina Anderson-Cloud and Reverend Jason Duley, have achieved this through enduring partnerships with NonProfits such as She Believes in Me, CornerStone, Backpack Buddies, and Helping Children Worldwide. Hosted by Emmanuel Nabieu, this episode of the Optimistic Voices Podcast takes you behind the scenes of church/nonprofit collaborations that make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.

Explore the remarkable stories of transformation in Sierra Leone and Northern Virginia, where initiatives like food assistance programs and refugee aid have left a lasting impact. Learn about the profound contributions of Floris in Fairfax County, VA and Galilee Church in Loudon County, VA, two churches in the Greater DC area and the diversity of their family-oriented missions and partnerships with NGOs - from educational support for local children, to building a hospital in Sierra Leone, providing opportunities for impoverished children to attend universities, and the value of small contributions, such as the heartwarming Backpack Buddies program. This episode paints a vivid picture of how united efforts can create ripples of change that span continents.

We also tackle the crucial elements that sustain these impactful partnerships: trust, transparency, and a shared mission.
