John, I recently had the honor of participating in an event for Convoy of Hope, a remarkable organization I highlight in my new book, Heaven Help Us. Convoy of Hope is one of the most inspiring humanitarian efforts I’ve ever encountered. |
After a terrible family tragedy, Hal Donaldson and others founded Convoy of Hope in 1994. Since then, they have served more than 250 million people in more than 130 countries. Every day, they feed over 571,000 children, train thousands of mothers to launch businesses, and equip tens of thousands of farmers to build sustainable futures. They have delivered more than $2.5 billion in food and supplies and have been a lifeline in the aftermath of over 750 disasters, both natural and man-made.
But it is not just the numbers that impress me. What moves me most is what Hal calls “people-building.” Convoy of Hope is not just about relief. It is about restoration. It is about helping people get back on their feet with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
That is what real service looks like. That is what faith in action looks like. And that is why Convoy of Hope is a model worth lifting up for all of us. |
If you'd like to read this and other stories that will warm your heart and provide you with more hope for the future, lease consider picking up a copy of Heaven Help Us! |
While I was there, I also enjoyed the opportunity to meet some of the Convoy of Hope team members, thank them for their service, and sign some book! |
We really are stronger when we work together. Thank you for all that you are doing to help get this message out in our communities! -John |
