Loving on Orphans in Africa

Olga’s Story— Working as an Occupational Therapist with Operation Mobilization

Olga discovered RightNow on the web in January 2008. She is a physical therapist who previously spent time in Africa working with medical missions in Malawi.

Olga stayed in touch with her mission coach throughout the spring looking for medical mission opportunities. She stayed in constant prayer and worked 60+ hours a week preparing for whatever doors the Lord would open up for her.

Olga’s Mission Coach then connected her with Operation Mobilization (OM) who happened to have a six month Occupational Therapist opportunity working with orphaned and abused children in South Africa. She found out in May that she was accepted and would leave July 2^nd for six months with OM.

Operation Mobilization works in partnership with the local church, encouraging and supporting local believers.

Laurie’s Story— Providing Orphan care with a Rafiki Orphanage in Malawi

Laurie learned about RightNow on the web in September 2007. She stayed in contact with her Mission Coach for the first six months trying to balance a full-time job that required a lot of travel yet not neglecting her call to serve children in Africa.

Laurie’s Mission Coach then put her in touch with The Rafiki Foundation which provides great orphan care in Africa. She found out in late April that she was accepted to work with a Rafiki Orphanage in Malawi. She spent two weeks this past summer with Rafiki.

Laurie told her mission coach, “I can't thank you enough for your role in this. I would never have gotten in contact with Rafiki if you had not been so persistent in reaching out to me. I believe that there is a reason that RightNow continues to show up in my life despite me getting caught up in the craziness of everyday life.”

The Rafiki Foundation provides God's Word and ministries of mercy to children in ten African countries.
