From $50 in His Pocket to Leading World Vision: A Story of Obedience and Purpose

What does it look like to follow God through uncertainty?

In this episode, Edgar Sandoval shares his extraordinary journey — from arriving in the U.S. alone at 17 with just $50 in his pocket, to working minimum-wage jobs, earning degrees from Rutgers and Wharton, and ultimately becoming CEO of World Vision, one of the largest Christian humanitarian organizations in the world.

But this isn’t just another success story.

It’s a story about obedience over comfort.

It’s about discerning God’s voice at life’s crossroads.
It’s about leaving corporate success for Kingdom calling.
It’s about anchoring leadership in faith and service.

Edgar’s life highlights:

• Choosing obedience even when the path is unclear
• Hearing God’s voice during major transitions
• Raising children with faith at the center of home life
• Serving the poor with joy and humility

His story will challenge how you think about purpose, preparation, and how God uses hardship to build leaders with impact beyond visibility.

If you’re wrestling with what “next” looks like — professionally, spiritually, or personally — this conversation will encourage you to listen, trust, and step forward.
