About George Steiner:

George Steiner has worked in Russia since 1991, with the International Bible Society, Children’s HopeChest, and now Orphan’s Tree. In his role, he provides vision and leadership for the ministry. Group homes, ministry centers, peer-to-peer mentorship, and foster care initiatives, among other programs, have been birthed through his vision and under his leadership. In addition to managing staff, every year George participates in a trip with U.S. church volunteers, working directly with orphans to retain close contact with the ministry audience. He also is the lead staff member for major donor relations.

Born into a missionary family, George has always been interested in people of different cultures. He graduated from Oral Roberts University with a degree in sociology and business administration and began working in fund development. He continued this until his work took him to the USSR. On numerous visits, he witnessed the hundreds of thousands of children lost in the orphanage system during the transition from the USSR to the Russian Federation. Burdened by the overall needs of orphans, he founded Children’s HopeChest in 1994 to serve the needs of institutionalized orphans. Seeing changing orphan care needs, George established Orphan’s Tree in 2008 to assist in creating healthy families for older orphans and to help break their orphan cycle. Orphan’s Tree is a shared passion with his family, which includes Kathy, his wife of 52 years, and their two daughters, Rebecca, who is on staff, and Meredith, who serves on the board.

● Unveil the importance of a strong long-term vision and dedication to your life's calling.

● Delve into the essential components of supporting young adults transitioning out of orphanages.

● Comprehend how to create an enduring heritage along with a significant legacy.

● Examine the progression towards foster care in Russia, transitioning from institutionalized systems.

● Learn to tackle challenges and errors through obedience and unwavering commitment.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

● The success of an organization depends on various factors, including strong leadership, clear vision, and cultural understanding. Organizations must remain adaptable to change and be cognizant of local customs and values to successfully connect with the communities they serve.

● Addressing the varied yet often overlooked needs of post-orphanage care is crucial in providing comprehensive support to young adults transitioning out of orphanages.

● Discovering one's role in life is about recognizing personal passions, talents, and opportunities that align with them. Whether it's pursuing a career or volunteering, finding a fulfilling role allows individuals to utilize their unique qualities for the greater good.

“One of the things that I think is true about anything in life is change is inevitable. And we have to be able to stay on top of that change and say, okay, how do we do things differently now? ”

About your guest host, Rod Hatley:

The founder of Hatley Law Group APC, Rod Hatley, began his journey to becoming an estate planning attorney with a devastating, drawn-out, seven-year probate. Rod’s father had been ill for a while before he died. Though Rod knew that his father needed to set up a trust and undertake additional advanced planning to prepare for his eventual passing, his father could not bear the thought of parting with legal title to the assets he had spent his life accumulating. As a result of this lack of preparation, it took Rod and his sister seven years to get through probate in their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
