  • Recommended Resources from Our Guests- Phil and Kelly end each interview with the same two questions: “What have you read or listened to in the past year that has most impacted your thinking in the issues surrounding orphan care?” and “What one person has most impacted your thinking on how to best love and care for orphaned and vulnerable children?” You will be able to find these resources here at ThinkOrphan.
