Episode 19 of the LOVE JUSTICE podcast with special guest: Kerry Hasenbalg | hosted by Hannah Munn | LoveJustice.NGO

This week’s conversation on the Love Justice Podcast features Kerry Hasenbalg. Join host Hannah Munn as Kerry shares personal stories and reflections on God’s direct leading in her life to create change in adoption and human rights both in the United States and abroad. Along with her vast experience and expertise, Kerry’s humility is sure to inspire as she explains how depending on God in every area of our lives helps us become who He made us to be.

Kerry Marks Hasenbalg is the CEO of BECOMING Foundation, Inc. As a respected teacher, writer, and speaker, Kerry divides her time primarily between facilitating soul care retreats and homeschooling her four children. She began her professional career on Capitol Hill as the fellow for the Congressional Coalition on Adoption (CCA), a bipartisan, bicameral caucus of more than 170 members of Congress. In 2002, together with the four congressional co-chairs of the CCA, Kerry created the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. As the organization’s founding executive director, she worked closely with the congressional members on child welfare issues in the U.S. and abroad. Under her leadership, all five of the organization’s main programs were created, including the congressional Angels in Adoption awards program, National Adoption Day, and the congressional Foster Youth Internship program. Kerry has visited more than 50 countries, and led more than a dozen congressional delegations abroad, meeting with high-ranking government officials and the poorest of the poor in every location, to advocate for improved child welfare policies and practices.

Kerry has authored curriculum for faith communities including devotionals, retreat material, and inspirational essays. As a magna cum laude graduate of Bucknell University, Kerry earned dual degrees in Russian and international studies. Kerry later completed post-graduate work at both the American University in Russian Studies and at Calvary Chapel Bible College, with a focus on counseling and biblical studies. Prior to her work in DC, she spent three years serving in Russia as an interpreter for missional organizations and caring for orphans and street children with a variety of child welfare groups.

She and her husband, Scott live together in Danville, Pennsylvania, with their four children, Cole, Maya, Leah, and Annika; all whom she homeschools.
