About
For nearly 25 years Back2Back Ministries staff, partners, and advocates have been witness to the life change that is possible when someone chooses to be the difference in the life of another.
Around the world we’re establishing footholds of deep, holistic care for orphaned and vulnerable children and families. Our goal isn’t a temporary fix or short-term relief; we’re committed to helping eradicate all forms of generational poverty – spiritual, physical, educational, emotional, and social.
No person, community, organization, or government can end the orphan crisis by themselves, but we can do it together. It’s an overwhelming, exhilarating, and humbling call. The Be the Difference Podcast exists because we believe those who choose to lean in, to take a step, to be the difference, have a story worth telling.
We won’t stop until every child is known and loved.
