Episode 109: David & Micah Gamboa
I am honored to have David and Micah Gamboa from Elijah Rising joining me on the podcast for episode 109! Elijah Rising is a nationally-recognized anti-trafficking agency based in Houston, Texas. Micah serves as the Executive Director of Elijah Rising, and David serves as Communications Director. Through their work with Elijah Rising, they are pursuing the eradication of sex trafficking in the Gulf Coast region.
In our conversation, we chat about the development of Elijah Rising, from the early days–to the work they are currently doing in prayer, awareness, intervention, and restoration. Micah and David share how they came to serve at Elijah Rising, and how they have seen God move in miraculous ways! This topic is serious and heart-wrenching, which is why I am so grateful for the work of Elijah Rising and individuals like Micah and David who are on the frontlines helping to combat the injustice.
In the second half of our conversation, we talk about how Micah was miraculously healed after suffering full cardiac arrest while speaking at a church in Houston. This experience led David to learn more about the healing power of Jesus, lead healing services, and inspire others to have faith that God can heal, even when it looks impossible! Get ready to be inspired and infused with faith!
