197 - From an Orphan to a CEO (w/Zahara McCoy)
from The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday · host Seacoast Church
Zahara McCoy joins the podcast to tell her story of growing up in a small village in Uganda. At the age of 10, she lost both her parents to HIV/AIDS and soon faced the very real prospect of becoming a child bride. Everything changed when a Christian family in California sponsored Zahara’s education—an act of compassion that allowed Zahara to continue her studies and later move to the United States. After studying at George Washington University, Zahara developed a desire to give back to Africa. Today, she is the CEO of Children of Grace, a Christian non-profit that works to impact thousands of children through medical aid, education, and mentoring in her home region of Uganda. At the top of the episode, Jack, Joey, and Lynne discuss how well they practice rhythms of rest and sabbath.
