When was the last time you had an injury that slowed you down? Perhaps your arm was in a sling, or you had your foot in a cast. It's frustrating when our bodies are limited or in pain, right?  Painful limitations are the reality for the families that Children of Promise work with around the world. However, each person is made whole as they belong to the Body of Christ and are given the tools to thrive despite hardships in their country of origin. 

Children have the best chance at wholeness when they have their basic needs met and when they are part of a loving community. How can they afford the basics of nutrition, education, healthcare, and discipleship? Through partnerships with the rest of the body. That's you and me! In this episode, find out how you can be a part of the solution to bring "wholeness" to the children of the world.

Kyle Hayes, Development Director at Children of Promise, is our guest today. For every ministry leader listening, or watching, this episode, be sure to share it with your friends.

We are thrilled to have Rev. Jeannette Flynn join R.W. on the podcast! Living a life of influence starts with finding a ministry model that truly works. For Jeannette, that model is simple but powerful: see one, teach one, release one. This approach has deeply shaped her journey and continues to guide how she mentors and leads others in ministry today.

Jeannette was born and raised in Ohio. Married to Charles, they have two grown children and four grandchildren. She grew up in the Church of God in Ohio, attended Kent State University, and graduated from Youngstown State University in Ohio with a B.S. in Education. She taught middle school for two years before attending Gulf Coast Bible College (now Mid-America Christian University) and Anderson School of Theology. Jeannette has served in pastorates in the states of Indiana and Washington. She is currently filling the interim role at Tigard Church of God in Tigard, Oregon.
