In 2006, a young woman named Becky Murray was on a short-term missions trip to Sierra Leone. On the streets one afternoon she met a little girl named Felicity who was a nine year old orphan and had no shoes.
Becky bought her a pair of pink flip flops and invited her to the gospel campaign taking place that evening.
Felicity showed up, however she asked Becky if she should wait in the bedroom.
Felicity who was 9 years old thought Becky bought her the shoes in exchange for sex.
Becky was devastated that this little girl had learned to expect to be exploited adults and she made a decision that would cost her everything she had planned.
The legal career? Gone.
The salary? Gone.
The comfortable, mapped-out future? Gone.
And she has giving her life fighting for children like Felicity.
One by One.
I sit down with Becky Murray in Episode 3 of the Dear Christian Podcast and she shares her powerful story. Becky is the founder and CEO of One By One, a global charity dedicated to ending the exploitation of vulnerable people across the world. She is the author of Embrace the Journey. She is the longest-serving female presenter on TBN UK. She has stood in the halls of 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament in London, and the White House in Washington DC, representing the children and women her organization fights for every single day.
I have not been the same since we recorded this conversation and this is an episode everyone should listen to.
