Behind the Seal

Edgar Sandoval's amazing story of hardship, hard work, and surrender is filled with God's continued work in each of us and this world!  As CEO of World Vision, a large, tenured Christian Humanitarian Aid Organization, Edgar discusses the organization's willingness to respond to dangerous situations because of soft hearts, calling it the "right kind of dangerous".  As generations change, Edgar describes focusing on holding the values that started World Vision, as he says, "the fruits are in the roots, and our roots are in the church, we were started by a youth pastor."  From his personal story to pursuing diversity to how leadership sets the tone for stewardship - you won't want to miss this one.

What is Behind the Seal?

ECFA's blue seal has been a symbol of trust and accountability for over four decades, but what does that mean? Is it the seal alone that inspires confidence, or is it the nonprofits and churches behind the seal?

Listen in to these conversations between ECFA's President and CEO, Michael Martin, and prominent leaders as we bring you stories from behind the seal of these Christ-centered ministries and churches and discover how trust is the foundation of it all.
