Shaped by Faith Archives - Shaped by Faith with Theresa Rowe

Jon Brennan, one of the most memorable cast members of “The Real World,” that aired on MTV in 1993 talks about where the Sozo Children’s Choir from Uganda will be performing on Shaped by Faith.

Jon Brennan is a missionary who is serving God and helping rescue and disciple children in Uganda. The children are in the United States staying with host families and they will be performing in our area this month!

On May 13th, 2010, Sozo Children was born out of an immediate need to take seventeen children from suffering circumstances. Two missionaries, along with a few in the United States, found children neglected and hungry. When they discovered rats biting these children’s feet at night in their current living situation, they knew something had to change. Ten days later with the support of the Ugandan government, a new family-style home was created for them, complete with bunk beds, Ugandan mothers and fathers, and a vision to disciple them into the next generation of Christian leaders.

Today, Sozo Children operates multiple children’s homes in Uganda, that provide care for over 100 children. Sozo Children’s aim is growing our children in Christ by providing their basic and growth needs through our sponsorship program. Learn more about sponsorship here.

This week’s guest on Shaped By Faith Radio is local celebrity Goldie Payne!

Goldie is a well loved celebrity in our community and  she has brought clean, family fun and entertainment to our community for over 30 plus years.

Tune in as Goldie reminisces about how she got started performing and the importance of relating to her audience by being transparent. I love Goldie’s passion to serve God by bringing joy to so many people. Everyone in our community knows Goldie and her devotion to her performers who began their careers singing and performing at Goldie’s. Many of these performers will return for the New Years show. Cast and Crew are coming from Ohio, TN, TX, and even Africa!

She is gearing up for her 5th annual ‘One Time Only’ New Year’s Eve show on December 31st.

This year’s show will include country and gospel music, as well as the infamous old time Rock-N-Roll spectacular. The show is made from the best of the best – Goldie, her Backstage Band and singers.

Scott and Melissa Hillard are both advocates with the Mission Aviation Fellowship Ministry and are my guests on today’s episode! Scott is a pilot and the MAF Southern Region Coordinator and Melissa is a spokesperson for the Ministry. Melissa has recently flown to Uganda and Mozambique sharing the love of Christ with others in remote areas.

MAF was founded by WWII pilots who had a vision for how aviation could be used to overcome barriers of terrain to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The U.S. organization was the first to take to the air. On February 23, 1946, pilot Betty Greene flew the first MAF plane on its inaugural flight, transporting tow missionaries from Wycliffe Bible Translators to a remote jungle location in Mexico.

Fatu Litsey was seven years old when rebel soldiers invaded her Village, Mafunta in West Africa. She tells her story in her new book, “More than a Survivor,” A Child’s Story of War, Loss, and Joy. I love what she writes in the introduction of her book, “The hero of my story is God. He is the one who took evil and worked good from it.”
