Today you'll hear from Ashley Newell! Ashley, along with her husband and three children, started Stand For Orphans over four years ago.  She and her husband Herbie have a heart for reaching the vulnerable, the outcast, and the orphan.  While in college at Samford University majoring in Human Development and Family Studies, Ashley started working at a local pregnancy resource center and thoroughly enjoyed ministering to women in unplanned pregnancies.  She retired early to stay home with their first child and soon had two more children.  Meanwhile, her husband Herbie was called to be the Executive Director of Lifeline Children’s Services, a holistic orphan care ministry headquartered in Birmingham, AL.  Ashley loves supporting her husband and the ministry of Lifeline in any way she can.  On any given day, you can find Ashley at home teaching her kids, which is something she never thought she would do but now can’t imagine it any other way.  

We discuss:

• Stand for Orphans and how it began
• Lifeline Children's Services and the ways they serve vulnerable children and their families
• The importance of raising our kids with a global perspective
