Sinopse

Today's guest is truly incredible. It's one thing to travel, but another to travel and be so touched that you take your whole life in a new direction. Amber did just that after she visited Ethiopia and saw how much change was needed. On this episode, I'm talking with Amber about her company, Eleventh Candle. Eleventh Candle Co. is a social enterprise in Columbus, Ohio partnering with Legacy to redeem, restore, empower and equip those vulnerable to human trafficking, abuse, exploitation, and addiction. A once trafficked woman in Columbus, Ohio is employed while a village in Ethiopia is supported and orphaned children there are welcomed into homes when products are purchased. Some questions I ask Amber & other things we talk about: Have you always had a trajectory of working in the mission field & why? Tell us about your first trip abroad and how or why it inspired you to do more. Tackling a daunting task: What were the first few steps to getting started creating a company that helps overseas.
