Episode 1039 Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago

Description

Leah Barcus was just 12 years old when she had the idea to gift refurbished American Girl dolls to children in crisis. Now 18, Leah is the founder and executive director of Joy Doll Hospital, a ministry dedicated to restoring American Girl dolls and gifting them to girls around the globe. Leah was homeschooled, and her mom shared that she was a dreamer from a very young age. Leah shares the depth and impact of her Joy Doll Hospital ministry - how much time is invested in each doll being restored, and how the restoration process so beautifully mirrors the Gospel message. She also shares insightful wisdom about what it looks like to step out in faith, even if you don’t feel ready, and letting Christ guide your decisions and path in life.
