What if you didn’t have to save the world? What if you could focus on what was in front of you?

In this episode of Mercycast, I’m joined by Becky Murray, founder and CEO of One by One, as we dive into her incredible journey in the world of compassion and justice. Becky shares a pivotal moment from her time in Sierra Leone, where an encounter with a young girl ignited her passion for helping vulnerable children. We discuss the importance of recognizing the neighbors in our everyday lives and saying yes to opportunities to help. Becky also explains One by One’s holistic approach to addressing exploitation and human trafficking, emphasizing the role of consumer responsibility in tackling global issues. We also talk about the launch of the Mercy Centre, a safe haven for girls rescued from trafficking, and the critical role it plays in providing restoration. Tune in for a poignant conversation about justice, compassion, and the impact we can make.

Highlights and takeaways from the conversation:

• Becky's encounter with a nine-year-old girl changed her life.
