Terry Orcutt spends her days on the phone and most evenings, too, listening, taking notes, asking questions. “Where do you live? What do you need? How many children do you have?” Her concern is real. Her love for people she doesn’t know is real, too. It’s what drives her and what sustains her, call after call.

“Love one another as I love you.” This is Christianity’s number one rule. Terry Orcutt lives this rule. She loves without question. She sees God in all people. So does her husband, Jim.

Eighteen years ago, a made-for-television movie, “God Bless The Child” changed their lives. It was a true story about a young woman who lost custody of her daughter because she didn’t have a place to live. “That’s all she needed. A place to stay and someone who cared,” Terry said.
