What if a single conversation could spark a movement that changes thousands of lives across the globe? Join us as we sit down with the founder and president of Global Year, who also happens to be my dad, to trace the incredible journey from an idea born in South Carolina to a global mission. Through a transformative chat with Dr. Johnny Hunt, this vision took root, initially sending nine high school graduates to Argentina and laying the groundwork for what would become an influential initiative. Discover how the seeds of this journey grew over seven to eight years, culminating in a life-altering decision to commit fully to inspiring young people to engage with the world.

Hear tales of unwavering faith and unexpected blessings as we recount stories that defined the early days of Global Year. Picture a roofer named Warren, stepping into our lives through divine guidance to help with crucial home repairs, or the miraculous $25,000 donation that propelled our mission forward. These moments highlight the power of community and belief in a higher purpose, shaping a vision of sending young people to spiritually challenging parts of the world. Through experiences with Score International, the dream of mobilizing 10,000 young individuals remains at the forefront, even as we face trials and triumphs.

As we look ahead, the episode brings into focus Global Year's mission to expand its reach to untouched regions, including new ventures in Canada. We reflect on the profound impact these gap year experiences have on students, their families, and their communities. The challenges of letting go and trusting in a divine plan are met with stories of transformation and growth. Journey with us through lessons in faith and the joy found in supportive relationships, as we continue to trust in a sovereign power guiding our path to global impact.
