George de Vuyst, is a missionary with Resonate Global Mission. He has been serving in Ukraine since 1998. George trains pastors and facilitates healing and reconciliation through “Healing Hearts, Transforming Nations” (HHTN) workshops and trainings for facilitators. In June 2021 he traveled to Michigan and planned to return overseas in June 2022. Russia’s war against Ukraine changed that. We pray for the war to end and for opportunities to serve and minister to Ukrainians now and in the future.

Our host Chris Orme introduces you to the theme of this season of the podcast. Stay tuned for episodes from great guests.
“But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.” Genesis 33:4
Ray Orlund reflects that this verse has often struck him as one of the most beautiful in the Bible. “We all feel the power of it. When we see ex-friends reconciling, so removing every barrier that they run and embrace and fall on one another’s necks—I love that expression—and weep, the beauty of it gets to us. Not a negotiated settlement. No face-saving hypocrisy. Honest. Unforced. Deeply felt. We all perceive true reconciliation with awe. It is of God.”
This is why we’re so excited to reflect on healing rifts in this season of the Do Justice podcast.
