Hope Without Borders Podcast

What if the financially tight spots in ministry aren't roadblocks, but the exact place God shows up the most?

In this episode, David Vailes takes an honest look at growth within our ministry, financial expenditures from this past year, and how God transformed those heavy burdens into unexpected blessings. Growth often comes with growing pains, but every challenge has been worth it as we make the uphill climb into what’s next.

We share the story behind our verse of the year, Ephesians 3:20, and discuss why Hope365 (giving just $1 a day) provides the steady assurance and support our ministry needs to thrive. Tune in for an encouraging conversation on faith, stewardship, and how we are stepping into this next season of divine replenishment.

Can God use a free day on a mission trip to save a life?

Nine-time felon turned follower of Jesus, John McGinnis, joins us to recount an incredible story from the Alaskan wilderness. John had no idea he was stepping into a rescue mission as they hiked to the top of a mountain. At the summit, him and another team member encountered a man lost and overwhelmed with panic. The two-hour trek down the mountain opened the door to an unexpected conversation with a self-proclaimed atheist.

There were no coincidences in this story, just God's faithfulness revealing itself in all the moments in between.

Join us for Episode 6 of the Hope Without Borders Podcast as we catch up with John Hilburn to discuss the power of second chances in Nicaragua. John shines a light on New Beginnings, a safe place for those fighting addiction and seeking a fresh start. Diving into Proverbs 16:27, John breaks down the dangers of "idle hands" and the powerful transformation that comes with purposeful living.

You will want to listen all the way through the episode as John recalls a true miracle from his first mission trip where divine timing, an orthopedic surgeon, and the very last Bible + food pack to be distributed changed a young girl's life forever.

God knows the end from the beginning, yet He still invites us to be part of the story.

Tune into Dayton Loven's story as he shares about how he came to know Christ, his first mission trip to Haiti, and the moments along the way that left a lasting impact. From witnessing extreme poverty for the first time to experiencing the faith and servitude of the Haitian people, Dayton reflects on how God used the trip to deepen his perspective and strengthen his faith.

One truth continued to resurface through pastor training sessions: God is omniscient. He knows the beginning and the end, and He invites us to participate in His mission; this is your opportunity to say "yes" to His plan for your life! Dayton shares the verse that shapes the way he leads his real estate business and lives out his faith. Spoiler alert... he also reveals the faith-inspired Easter egg in the List With Loven logo.

Kim Bradley, President and Founder of Project Hope, shares the story of how it all began. What started without a clear plan quickly became something only God could orchestrate. From early pastor training in Nicaragua to unexpected opportunities, each step revealed His hand at work.

Today, those same events continue to make an impact - with our Springfield golf tournament selling out early and limited spots still available for the upcoming Greater Kansas City Golf Classic, there are still opportunities for you to be a part of impacting God's kingdom. This episode is an encouraging reminder that even when you don’t have a vision, God does.

In Episode 3 of the Hope Without Borders Podcast, Chuck and Debbie Cook share about a new opportunity to share the Gospel on a global scale - Alaska Missions 2026. While it may look a little different from our international trips, these local Alaskans share that the need for connection, encouragement, and the Gospel are just as real.

We talk through ministry needs in Alaska, how this new opportunity came to life, what teams will be stepping into on this new adventure, and of course the crazy daylight hours. From serving local communities to building meaningful relationships, this is a chance to be part of something impactful in a beautiful place you may not have considered before.

Call our office to reserve your "yes" to Alaska; we would love for you to be part of what God is doing!

Would you take your daughter to Haiti? Mike is going as far as taking his whole family in November.

In Episode 2 of the Hope Without Borders Podcast, trip leader Mike Miles shares why it’s less about who you are and more about why you go. If you make God’s yes your yes, He could be calling YOU. What started as a hodgepodge of personalities became a trip clearly brought together by God during our trip in January. Hear from Mike and Cayleigh as they talk about the realities of spiritual warfare, the beauty of community in Pignon, and the joy that comes from living simply (like living out of a duffle bag for a week).

If you’ve ever considered a mission trip or want a glimpse into life and ministry in Haiti, this episode is for you!

Welcome to the Hope Without Borders Podcast! Cayleigh Berry gets into the heart and soul of the Project Hope ministry with founder Kim Bradley, Executive Director Jeff Hart, and Springfield Director David Vailes. What is hope, and how are we seeing Jesus move locally and around the world?

David reflects on the original vision for the podcast and what listeners can expect in future episodes. Kim gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how Project Hope began - years before microphones and podcast episodes were ever part of the plan. Listen in as they share what’s ahead, including the launch of the Hope Foundation, new mission opportunities, and exciting events in the coming year. And Jeff dives into a life-changing experience on the mission field and the real impact of living a life that reflects the hope of Jesus 365 days a year.
