Emmanuel Nabieu on the journey back home.

Hey friends, Raleigh Sadler here. In this deeply moving episode of MercyCast, I sit down with Emmanuel Nabu—known to many as Nabs—to talk about his incredible journey from growing up as an orphan in Sierra Leone to becoming an advocate for family-based care and child welfare in the same orphanage!

This conversation is close to my heart. Nabs shares how he lost his father during the civil war, spent nearly a year homeless as a child, and eventually found himself in an orphanage. But that’s just the beginning. His story is one of raw adversity, unmatched resilience, and the kind of healing that only happens in the presence of real community support.
