I loved this conversation with Peter Mutabazi — a single foster dad who has such a heart for kids. In this episode, he shares a little about his heartbreaking but also inspiring story of being abused by his dad as a boy and finally making the decision to run away — having no idea where idea where he would go. He ended up living on the streets near a bus station for a few years until one man walked into his life and changed everything.
You will want to not only listen to what he shares of his story on this episode, but you’ll also want to get a copy of his book, Now I Am Known. I left this conversation so convicted by his passion for others and how one person can make such a difference in another person’s life.
