From Thrift Store to Choir Tour: The Vision Expands
In this episode of The Sozo Podcast, Haley Jones sits down once again with Sozo Children founder and CEO Suzanne Owens to unpack a pivotal season in the ministry's journey. From the move into their Avondale headquarters in early 2015 to the grand opening of Sozo Trading Co. that summer, Suzanne shares the behind-the-scenes story of how a passing comment at a donor dinner sparked the launch of a thrift store that now serves thousands.
But that’s not all—this episode also dives into the heartwarming origins of the very first Sozo Choir. Hear how a vision planted in 2007 came to life in 2016, as 21 children from Uganda traveled to the U.S. for a six-month tour that would forever shape their lives and the hearts of everyone they met.
Highlights:
- How a business partnership with RJ Mechanical made Sozo’s headquarters and thrift store possible
- The logistical mountain of bringing 21 Ugandan children to the U.S. for the first choir tour
- The unexpected spiritual, emotional, and academic growth the choir kids experienced
- Why reverse mission trips matter—and how they’re changing lives
Tune in and be reminded: when you follow God’s lead, even a simple idea can change the world.
