Tragedies in life often move us to question God's goodness. It's natural and understandable to have that response. However, as we'll learn today, God is always working in the background to bring beauty from ashes. He is always in control. He always knows what He will be doing with the pain we experience and will use our suffering to bring glory to his name.
On today's episode, Cyrus and I discuss how the tragedy of the genocide in Rwanda, the process of forgiveness, and his personal testimony of how God used the death of his daughter to be a blessing to orphans in Central Africa.
We also discuss the following topics:
- The genocide in Rwanda
- Forgiveness is an ongoing work
- Rwanda makes forgiveness a core value of their culture
- Families and offenders reconcile
- The power of God's Word in helping us forgive
- What forgiveness looks like
- A pastor's testimony
- The cost of Jesus going to the cross in order to forgive our sins
- Cyrus shares his testimony of when he and his wife lost his daughter
- Lastly, how God used this to help him open up an orphanage called Irene's Home of Hope

Welcome to SEASON 3 everyone!
The Realm is back with their bi-weekly full length episodes on Mondays and Weird Weekly News Wednesdays!
This episode welcomes two new permanent members, Rob and Brian! They were guest hosts in Season 2 and have decided to join us permanently! We couldn't be happier.
OTHER BIG NEWS.... WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR INVESTIGATIONS!!
So our first episode of the season is centered around discussing our first official investigation as The Realm! We discuss the history, claims, equipment used and some evidence we collected that we will share with all of you.
Gina, Rich, Kez, Jen, Brian and Rob were joined by Amy (Robs wife) and Dani (Brians wife) for an investigation of an old children's home with tales of unexplained noises, voices and other weird instances not just at the children's home building themselves, but also in the surrounding neighborhood. This location has only been investigated one other time by another group some years back, and we hope to do a deeper investigation in the future. We hope to have Amy and Dani join us on many more investigations, they were incredibly valuable to the chemistry and success of the night.
The Children's Home complex has now been turned into a village administration and business complex. The Village of Elmwood Park houses their administrative buildings in this complex and the rest are leased by various types of businesses, one of them including a Spa, which is where our investigation was held.
Check out the audio and video footage on our YouTube channel. Headphones are best when listening to the EVP's, we would love to hear from you and let us know if you can decipher any of the EVP's that we couldn't, or if you think it said something different! We love input from you!
if you have any questions or comments about this episode, you can email us at connectedrealm@gmail.com , or message us on Facebook or Instagram.
If you have an investigation request, please put "INVESTIGATION REQUEST" in the subject line. All investigations are FREE, we will consider traveling farther than 100 miles depending upon circumstances.
If you have a show idea or story to share, please put "SHOW IDEA" or "SHARE MY STORY" in the subject line.
In a world where you can be anything.... be kind... be weird... but mostly... be kind!
An orphanage can be hell for everyone, especially kids like Katie.
Miserable and bullied by the others, things take turn for the worse when the old well behind the building is opened...

Looking back on his life, Soslan can see how God has impacted his life so many times and how his experiences strengthened his faith and made him walk with God even closer. He was born in Russia and surrendered to an orphanage at birth. His birth records documented that he was likely a product of rape. Over the years, He spent time at the Vladikavkaz Russia orphanage until 2006. From what he can recall, there were over 40 plus children (majority of them were under the age of two) in that orphanage, with only two ladies in their late 70s; were the sole caregivers in the orphanage, many of whom were babies. During those eight and half years, it was necessary to go into the streets and search for garbage to survive. He was undernourished, beaten, and sexually assaulted several times. Russia was at war with Georgia, and the Russian police and military were constantly present throughout Vladikavkaz. Since he was the oldest in the orphanage, his duty was to stand in the long lines to receive half of the bread and a pail of water; the bread he received was very doughy, and the water was taken out of the river that flowed through the city. Since the half loaf bread wasn't enough, he would go out scavenging for food, and the Russian police and military would frequently catch him, beat him, and sexually assault him. When a family, "Steve and Jenny Newell " from Bend, Oregon, came to Russia to adopt one girl. When the Newell arrived at the orphanage, they were asked to take as many kids as possible. The Newells were about mid-'40s, nor had any experience with children. Among the three boys, I was one of them that came to America along with two girls. Lucky he was adopted because two hours later after he left, the orphanage was bombed by Georgia, killing everyone. He knows that God was watching over him and has a plan. As a result of going to America, He spent two and half years in Bend, Oregon, with a family. Listen for more of Soslan's story.

Over forty years ago, Gayla Cooper felt reluctant to spend even one day ministering to children in a Tijuana orphanage. However, after meeting a group of children from a Mexican orphanage, Gayla’s heart was touched so deeply that she decided to pack her bags and move to Mexico to work in the orphanage full-time.
Meanwhile, Scott Congdon traveled to the very same orphanage with a community service group from his college. The children had such a profound impact on Scott, that when he returned home, he began collecting food and clothing for the children, returning to deliver the collected items.
Together, Scott and Gayla soon discovered that they shared the same dream of ministering alongside the poor in Mexico. In March of 1980, Scott and Gayla founded Amor Ministries. That fall, they recruited their first ministry group to participate in a building project at a Tecate orphanage.
Scott and Gayla were married a year later and four more missions teams traveled to Mexico with Amor. Today, the ministry continues to live out the Congdon’s initial calling and builds homes alongside families each day.
What we believe in:
#1 – We love Jesus.
In all things we look to Jesus. We work because of him and we want our work to point to him.
#2 – We are diverse.
The churches we serve are diverse and our staff reflects that diversity. You are guaranteed to find someone here who thinks differently than you about just about anything theological, political, or even where the best tacos are. Iron sharpens iron and, in the end, see #1.
#3 – We have healthy conflict.
We are learners, which means that we are open to being better in all things which means we need to be able to discover with our coworkers how we can be better. Even when we seek to be better, it doesn’t always feel good to hear how to be better, so we always refer back to #1.
#4 – We eat together.
Any Christian community worth its salt breaks bread together. It breaks down barriers and creates opportunities for deeper relationships. When we meet, more often than not, we eat together. Sometimes we even compete in our annual Chili Cookoff!
#5 – We laugh.
Ministry is fun. We serve a savior whose first miracle was turning water into wine at a party. We are at a nexus point of people’s lives being transformed. Ministry is also hard which is why we make sure we laugh a lot.
#6 – We are servants.
The words, “That’s not my responsibility,” don’t exist with us. We go the extra mile with our groups, our donors, our pastors, and our teammates which frequently takes us outside of an eight-to-five schedule.
#7 – We constantly seek God.
We are structured like a business but we spend time listening to what God is saying to us as part of the body of Christ. When closeness and proximity to God is your top priority (see #1), there’s no more exciting place to be than to be listening.

The Queen of Black Magic. Join Scott and Rick as they chat this sinister outing. See if this Indonesian fright flick conjures up an apparition of good scares, or if it reveals possessed torture for those who seek the truth.

What would you do if you live in a rural area where health emergency services or basic healthcare are unavailable or difficult to access? What would you do if you can’t afford to pay your hospital bills or get the right medical attention that you need? These are real challenges of people living in developing countries where inaccessible health care is a major issue.
In developing countries like Vietnam, where Dr. Trinh and his student volunteers conducted a medical mission, the general population has limited access to proper healthcare and education which is unfortunately the cause of the growing stigma on leprosy and other untreatable diseases.
Leprosy, a disease that has long been treated and nearly eradicated in developed countries, is still plaguing countries like Vietnam. They build leprosy colonies and isolate patients. This results in people with leprosy living their lives not knowing their condition can be cured or managed.
Medical missions like this aim to give access to this knowledge and healthcare to break the stigma gripping poor countries and help improve health and living conditions of those in need.
Listen and learn more about their trip to Vietnam from our guests, Abigail, Ming, Mia, and Berrie to help break the stigma and impart proper education on this medical condition.
