30 - Francis and Benedict [and Katie Walters]

In her mind, the voice was unmistakably God.  Given what’s transpired since, and the circumstances surrounding the establishment of Francis and Benedict, it’s hard to see it any other way.  Our very own Katie Walters and her business/ministry partner in Togo, (and now, family) Pastor Francis, join Joey to discuss God’s hand in their coming together to answer the call of Katie’s compelling vision for ministry in Togo.  Together, they have employed 13 Togolese seamstresses through their 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Francis + Benedict. The partnership made with these women provides dignified and sustainable employment and the profits are used to resource other community leaders in Togo, helping to sustain their loving service to orphans, widows, and those suffering in poverty.Oh, and the skirts made and sold to supporters all over the world are also very fashionable and classy attire that’s a hit with all sorts of women with all sorts of styles.Francis and Benedict, a  worldwide family born out of Seacoast Church, aims to make a lasting global impact by using love and fashion to change communities … one outfit at a time.Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page  Francis and BenedictInstagram | WebsiteIn this episodeKatie Walters, Founder and CEO of Francis and Benedict / InstagramDr. Francis Avoyi, Country Director of Francis and Benedict Joey Svendsen, co-host / InstagramJacky Hoey III, co-host / Instagram Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Gabe DewalkMusic: Joel T.
