Living on Dollar Per Day in Post Haiti Earthquake Births Bold Hope Mission - Matthew Jones


Listen Later

Matthew Jones did something completely unexpected in the wake of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti: he, his brother, and two friends decided to live among the poverty-stricken people there on only $1 per day, just like the locals. They lived in a tarp tent, and Matthew lost 29 pounds in the first month and helped him relate to the suffering of Haitians in an incredibly personal way. Today, Matthew is the managing director of Bold Hope, a ministry serving hurting people in places like Haiti, Belize, and the Dominican Republic. He emphasizes the importance of raising children to be missional rather than simply checking the box of church attendance. Taking an overseas mission trip teaches kids that there is more to life than school or social media. It gives them real perspective, and it provides them with the opportunity to serve boldly.TAKEAWAYSInterested parties can donate their time by serving on a Bold Hope mission trip overseas or sponsoring the needs of a childMission trips help kids and adults, see the world through a lens of service rather than self-absorptionFamilies who come together to serve on the mission field get to unplug from the modern world and focus on othersSeeing extreme poverty really puts everything into focus as far as life is concerned in North America🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEBook Tina to Speak: https://bit.ly/3AjTOuDBold Hope video: https://bit.ly/4joMt17🔗 CONNECT WITH BOLD HOPEWebsite: https://boldhope.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boldH0PE/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bold.hope/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/boldhope📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYVidAngel (get first month for $1 with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4dpg2vTMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinInstitute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tinaMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
