When God Says Go: Orphan Rescue and Living on Mission in Crisis
Welcome to another episode of the Steeple People Podcast from Brentwood Baptist, where we shine a light on the ordinary lives making an extraordinary difference through faith and service. Today, hosts Amy-Jo Girardier and Michele Dyer sit down with Tim Brister—founder of Gospel Systems and the Haiti Collective—for an inspiring conversation about living with availability for God to use your life in unexpected ways.
You’ll hear Tim’s remarkable journey from a Florida childhood shaped by global events, through his early calling to ministry, and into his heart-breaking and heart-filled work in Haiti. Tim shares about the real-life adventures (and challenges) of rescuing orphans amidst gang violence, the power of gospel partnerships, and how simple acts of loving your literal neighbors can change your community. This episode is packed with honest stories of calling, perseverance, and the surprising ways God can redirect our paths—even reshaping Tim’s own ministry identity along the way.
Whether you’re curious about global missions, passionate about neighboring well, or just looking for real stories of faithfulness, you’ll be encouraged—and maybe even challenged—to consider how God might be inviting you to live on mission right where you are. And don’t miss the practical next steps at the end for getting involved and supporting the Haiti Collective!
So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into this moving episode of Steeple People.
