Unwanted. Orphaned. Left for Dead. Rescued. Redeemed.

Author, speaker, Stephanie Fast’s story of survival as a four-year-old nameless orphan in Korea has inspired thousands of people to walk with vulnerable children down the road of hope and healing. Her story has been featured on Focus on the Family and remains one of its most popular broadcasts of all time.

Fuel Your Passion.

This event will inspire you to help children break free from their past — no matter how painful — and step into the future confident, full of purpose, and filled with hope.
