Becky Murray | What 50 Million Slaves Looks Like When You Put a Face to the Number
Description
This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Rebecca Murray — founder of One By One and author of Embrace the Journey — for a raw conversation about child slavery, rescue work, faith, waiting, grief, obedience, and what it looks like to say yes to God in impossible situations.
Rebecca shares the moment that changed her life forever: meeting a little girl on the streets of Sierra Leone who believed a cheap pair of flip-flops meant she had been bought. That encounter became the face behind the statistics and launched a lifelong mission to rescue children from exploitation. Kerstin and Rebecca also talk about the 13-year waiting season between the calling and the assignment, the financial impossibility of building One By One’s first center in Kenya, and how God kept making a way when there was no clear path forward.
Then the conversation turns practical and deeply personal: how trafficking still works in the modern world, what regular people can actually do to fight it, why prayer and awareness matter, how to think about fast fashion and supply chains, and why obedience often matters even when you never get to see the outcome. Rebecca also opens up about her husband’s near-death medical crisis, the woman who handed her $50 at the exact moment she needed it, and the hope she wants listeners to hold onto in their own valley seasons.
