Beijing Caspian, the founder of the global humanitarian organization It’s Our Turn, revealed how a childhood calling opened doors to bring hope, compassion, and the gospel to youth and marginalized communities. Beijing sat down with interviewer Janna Bailey to discuss everything she and her team are doing to transform the lives of young people through outreach and orphanage ministries. Watch this powerful interview to learn about a fantastic institution that uses global missions to reach children for Christ.
The Hope Tour is a school outreach initiative that brings together teams to visit marginalized high schools all around the world. For marginalized youth, there is no bigger need than love, safety, and hope. Considering how many young people are currently facing a dark, gloomy climate of violence and suicide in the Bahamas, what would happen if someone used a school tour for an eternal, life-changing purpose? That is exactly what Beijing is doing with Its Our Turn.
The Hope Tour is an initiative to spread the gospel directly into local school systems. Over a brief five-day period permitted by the government, more than 1,200 students and a teacher stepped forward to give their lives to Christ. "And that gave me hope, and that gave my entire team hope," she said. She added how these powerful moments provide national television and the entire country with a tangible reminder that Jesus is the true focus required to build a better land.
Additionally, Beijing shared her powerful testimony about how, as a four-year-old child on her very first mission trip, she came to know Christ. She stated that her journey toward starting a nonprofit organization began with a strong inner desire to reconcile the wealth of her home with the deep poverty she witnessed while serving young people in vacation Bible schools abroad. Following two straight years of praying purely for God's will, she distinctly heard the voice of the Lord tell her to lead the youth. After consulting with her mother, she chose the name It's Our Turn to signify a new generation of young people taking the banner to make a real difference.
She mentioned that, in addition to carrying out this work, she relies heavily on strict personal discipline to keep her platforms focused entirely on God rather than personal fame. "Every time I'm on a platform or on a stage, those people just see the light, and they see Jesus," Beijing said. To maintain her balance while juggling the ministry, a local café, and coaching, she stays anchored through a sacred morning routine of early prayer, intense physical exercise for mental clarity, and dedicated Bible study.
In addition to the outreach ministry, Beijing also talked about the wonderful, life-changing things happening on the orphanage side of It's Our Turn. The organization is currently working to secure government land to build its first orphanage facility in the Bahamas, actively raising a $500,000 budget to see the project through. Beyond construction, they adopt existing international orphanages and supply direct training to local citizens to offer discipleship and mental health support.
