Ep. 22 - Holding the Line: Faith, Courage, and Adoption in Changing Culture (feat. Zeke Bambolo)

Ezechiel 'Zeke' Bambolo joins us on the podcast today!Zeke is the current Executive Director of Antioch Adoptions (https://antiochadoptions.org/), an adoption agency based out of Washington state that stands apart for a few important reasons: They never charge families for adoption services, they never take government funding, and they operate strictly according to biblical principles. Since its inception, Antioch Adoptions has had the opportunity to help over 500 families.Zeke was also impacted by adoption early on in his life. Originally from Liberia, Zeke was essentially informally adopted by an American missionary couple (Lloyd and Marjorie Garrison) who brought him to the U.S. Not only that, his birth family also regularly took in other children to care for.We are so thankful to Zeke and this legacy of care, adoption, and family. We are so excited for you to hear this episode and hope it inspires you!Thank you, Zeke, for the good work you are doing for these families.……………………………..Want to know more about Fostering Change WA?
