  • Rescuing Israel's Children with Bonnie Hilton!

    We are so excited to share this episode with you all!! This week we had on Bonnie Hilton, LCSW, for an inspiring conversation about the goodness and blessings of being an active participant in the gathering of Israel. Bonnie was diagnosed with infertility at age 14 and this episode is her story and journey of how she became a mother! She and her husband run a non-profit organization called DELIVEЯ – Rescuing Children at Risk. They are on a mission to help children escape from detrimental environments and enter into loving, forever families. In this episode, she shares a few amazing stories from her book (link down below) and gives excellent advice on how we can all help in our own individual ways. From our brief interactions with Bonnie, we have observed just how Christlike of a human being she is. We know you'll love this story!

    BONNIE'S NEW BOOK:

    "Gathering Israel's Children: How the Lord Is Gathering His Family by Inspiring Forever Families to Adopt, Mentor, and Love His Children in Need"
