Gospel Justice – Gracie Murphree pt 1

We have seen the news reports of the border crisis at the Mexican – US border. Unless you have had your head under a rock or buried in the sand, you have seen the waves of migrants trying to cross the border into the United States. You have heard the political debates raging between those who believe we need to control our borders to those who want no borders.

But, caught in the middle of that debate, are individuals who are seeking a better life. Some are fleeing abuses in their home countries. Some are escaping persecution for their Faith. And, unfortunately, some are coming here for nefarious reasons as well.

My guest today has made it her life mission to help the women and children fleeing Honduras. Gracie Murphree has lived in Honduras since 2005 and understands both sides of the immigration issue. She is an outspoken fighter for Gospel Justice and also runs a Christian refuge in Honduras, called Heart of Christ-Corazon de Christo. This ministry isfor women and children who are victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. She knows the love of Christ is the only way to reach a country where lawlessness reigns supreme. She credits God for the protection He provides as she has survived not one, not two but FIVE assassination attempts on her life!

In 2008 Gracie was decorated by the president of Honduras and the minister of the National Institute of Women for her work in prevention of violence for reasons of gender. Prior to her working in Honduras Gracie was a journalist and worked as a scriptwriter for CTN (Christian Television Network) WBHR CH 33 Pensacola/Mobile writing eighty-three weekly television shows and two documentaries.

Help me welcome to the program, Gracie Murphree!  Gracie, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit with us today!

Now, before I get into some questions for you, let me start with this. Other than that short bio I just read, tell us in your own words, “Who is Gracie Murphree?”

Now, your background. You know what it is like to be a victim. You were drugged and raped when you were only 21 years old. How has that experienced shaped what you are doing today?

Your own church basically ostracized you because you were raped and became pregnant as a result of the rape?

How did you get involved with the situation down in Honduras?

Your ministry also teaches Honduran authorities and ministries how to rescue, care for and help to restore victims of violence – in one of the most dangerous nations on earth! What are some of the ways in which you accomplish this?

Tell us about the “Gospel-Justice” program you have in Honduras?

I have to touch base for a minute on the assassination attempts on your life. Were they hit jobs put out by those who benefit from sex trafficking and such?

Has your husband also been targeted on some of these attacks?

I want to ask you – to encourage you – to buy at least one copy of Gracie’s book, “Journey to Justice: Finding God and Destiny in Darkness.”
