Gospel Justice – Gracie Murphree pt 1

We have seen the news reports of the border crisis at the Mexican – US border. Unless you have had your head under a rock or buried in the sand, you have seen the waves of migrants trying to cross the border into the United States. You have heard the political debates raging between those who believe we need to control our borders to those who want no borders.

But, caught in the middle of that debate, are individuals who are seeking a better life. Some are fleeing abuses in their home countries. Some are escaping persecution for their Faith. And, unfortunately, some are coming here for nefarious reasons as well.

My guest today has made it her life mission to help the women and children fleeing Honduras. Gracie Murphree has lived in Honduras since 2005 and understands both sides of the immigration issue. She is an outspoken fighter for Gospel Justice and also runs a Christian refuge in Honduras, called Heart of Christ-Corazon de Christo. This ministry isfor women and children who are victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. She knows the love of Christ is the only way to reach a country where lawlessness reigns supreme. She credits God for the protection He provides as she has survived not one, not two but FIVE assassination attempts on her life!

In 2008 Gracie was decorated by the president of Honduras and the minister of the National Institute of Women for her work in prevention of violence for reasons of gender. Prior to her working in Honduras Gracie was a journalist and worked as a scriptwriter for CTN (Christian Television Network) WBHR CH 33 Pensacola/Mobile writing eighty-three weekly television shows and two documentaries.

Tell us about the “Gospel-Justice” program you have in Honduras?

I have to touch base for a minute on the assassination attempts on your life. Were they hit jobs put out by those who benefit from sex trafficking and such?

Has your husband also been targeted on some of these attacks? END PT 1

How do you protect yourself from something like that?  Don’t get into specifics, for obvious reasons, just generalities.

You are also an approved country expert for US Immigration court cases, correct?  What does that entail when you are called into testify?

I know the media reports many of the women and children – and men – are coming from nations like Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, etc.

I believe the US has instituted a policy of “first country” asylum, meaning if someone is fleeing Honduras, they should seek asylum in Guatemala or even Mexico rather than coming thousands of miles and trying to enter the United States. Do you believe that is a valid response to the crisis we see at the border?

How does your ministry work affect the border crisis here in the United States?

Now, you are here in the United States right now, promoting book you have written called, “Journey to Justice: Finding God and Destiny in Darkness.”  Tell us a little about your book.

Is it available on Amazon and in book stores?

Gracie, it has been an absolute honor to talk with you today. If someone wanted to reach out to you, ask a question, offer support or something like that, how can they get in touch with you?

Folks, it is not everyday you get a chance to hear someone from the front lines of Christian ministry. Facing down death on a daily basis. Someone who is so called and anointed by God in accomplishing the Christian mission of ministering to those who are abused, neglected and forgotten, like Gracie Murphree has been doing.

I want to ask you – to encourage you – to buy at least one copy of Gracie’s book, “Journey to Justice: Finding God and Destiny in Darkness.” As a matter of fact, since Christmas is coming soon, buy TWO copies and give one away as a present. I can guarantee you, there is somebody out there that this book will bless. Someone you know!  Maybe even give one to your pastor as well and ask him to consider adding Gracie Murphree to the Missionary support your church offers.

Just click the links below to order the books and to offer some support to Gracie and her ministry efforts.

Gracie, thank you again for taking the time to come on the program today. I do appreciate it.

That is all the time we have for today. For Gracie Murphree and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!
