Sophia Scorziello editor Renee Bach was 19 when she claims to have heard a calling from God telling her to travel to Uganda on a missionary trip to save children from starvation, poverty and deadly diseases.
In 2009, she moved to Jinja, Uganda and opened a charity called Serving His Children. There, with a high-school diploma and zero medical education or professional licenses, Bach spearheaded treatments for babies and young children, which included hooking up IV drips, feeding sessions, prescribing medications, giving blood transfusions and handling other procedures.
