Former nurse supervisor, Susie Jennings joins host Brenda Teele to talk about how she started an international organization following tragedy and a calling from God. Walk with ME and listen as Susie tells her story of compassion and servanthood in service to the homeless.

Susie shares how she evolved from the “The Blanket Lady” in downtown Dallas to running an international organization, Operation Care International.

According to their website, Operation Care International (OCI) is an NGO on a God-given mission to help the lost and the needy through evangelism, servanthood and bringing vital services to the needy around the world.

“I was broken. So if God could use a broken person like me, he could use anybody else who is willing to obey; who is willing to be faithful.” – Susie Jennings
