About this episode
John and Nicci Renouard share their journey from comfort to calling as they founded WHO Lives to address water poverty in Africa.
Sometimes you move before you understand why. Before WHO Lives drilled thousands of wells across Africa, John and Nicci Renouard left stability, comfort, and certainty — following a quiet conviction that didn’t yet make sense.

It started with a move that didn’t make sense. An RV. Six kids. No plan. Then a son sent to Kenya during political unrest. Then exposure to water poverty that changed everything.
