Echo VanderWal joined the StoryField from Eswatini, the African country formerly known as Swaziland.
Echo and her husband Harry moved to Eswatini in the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 2005 the results of which left 20% of the entire country’s population orphaned. The country had the highest infection rate of HIV of anywhere.
They moved with 4-year-old triplets and a 1-year old daughter.
20 years later, we caught up with Echo and asked her about the origin story of The Luke Commission – www.lukecommission.org – which started with 8 local team members but now as a staff of 700 people; 45 departments; and operate out of the location called the Miracle Campus.
The Luke Commission provides 1/3 of the entire country’s population with free, compassionate, patient-centered health care.
If you need a faith re-charge then you must listen to this incredible interview and learn how God showed Echo and Harry how to scale a nonprofit with compassion and how faithful God has been at every “blind step of faith” as Echo says.
Please consider supporting The Luke Commission by visiting www.lukecommission.org and becoming a partner today.
