At Giving Company we fully believe that we are more blessed to give than to receive, as Jesus says in Acts 20:35. Because of that mission, we partner with organizations that give back to underprivileged and marginalized women and children all over the globe. 

On this special episode of the iDisciple Podcast, we want to introduce our listeners to one of Giving Company’s valued Giving Partners: Crisis Aid International. Pat Bradley, founder and CEO of Crisis Aid, and Emma Lieblich, a member of the Giving Company team, are joining David to talk about the work Crisis Aid does in East Africa and how their lives have been impacted by experiences on the mission field.

We hope this conversation gives you a deeper look at how your support for Giving Company and the iDisciple Podcast is permanently changing the lives of people in some of the most war-torn and poverty-stricken parts of the world, and we pray that it will move you to get more involved in Crisis Aid’s mission!
