## Resource

What does it mean to follow Jesus into the hardest places—to look suffering in the eye and choose love instead of turning away? This week on Advancing the Mission, we continue our conversation with Kyle Hayes and Mike Webb of Children of Promise as we take a closer look at the House of Hope in Bangladesh—a ministry bringing safety, education, and the hope of Jesus to children whose mothers work in one of the largest brothels in the world. In this powerful episode, Kyle and Mike share stories of transformation and redemption—of kids finding laughter again, of mothers discovering dignity, and of God’s love rewriting what once seemed impossible. We also explore how County Line can be part of that story through this year’s Joy to the World offering, helping extend compassion that reaches across the globe. It’s a conversation about courage, calling, and the kind of faith that refuses to look away. You’ll be challenged to see how God invites each of us to step toward the brokenness around us—not in fear, but in love.
