In this episode, Haley Jones and Sozo Children founder Suzanne Owens pick up the story where Ron left off—when Sozo was out of money and relying fully on faith. Suzanne shares how they opened a third home for boys in the slums of Kabalagala (yes, it means “pancake”) without knowing how they’d fund it—and how God provided again and again.1
From makeshift offices and volunteer staff to organizing 20+ interns and running epic mud run fundraisers, Suzanne reflects on the chaos, exhaustion, and beauty of Sozo’s early days. Most importantly, this episode reveals how, just four years in, Sozo took a massive leap of faith—buying 28 acres of land in Uganda. Spoiler alert: it involves surprise checks, divine timing, and a bankroom miracle.
If you’ve ever doubted whether big dreams born in small living rooms can become reality—this episode is proof they can.
