Today, we’re welcoming Tamara Fore, Executive Director of Immigrant Hope, and Matt Jones as the president of the board of directors. Immigrant Hope of the Sandills is a ministry right here in Southern Pines that offers immigrants something every one of us longs for: hope, help, and home.

This is a topic that’s tender for many, and today’s conversation isn’t political—it’s personal. It’s about the people behind the headlines, the challenges they face, and how the love of Christ can speak into every part of their story.

Ryan and Paula Kling are on staff as the side coordinator and volunteer coordinator with Reach Global Crisis Response. They currently manage and coordinate job sites and volunteers in Hendersonville, NC, in response to the damage caused by Hurricane Helene in late 2024. Tune in to hear Ryan's story!

Welcome to the podcast! Today, we’re diving into a special episode with Pastor Dan Francis, who just returned from Guatemala with a team from Christ Community Church. Over the past couple of weeks, they’ve shared stories of teaching in schools, delivering food to local families, worshiping with local churches, and hosting the camp’s first-ever day camp. Today, we’ll go behind the scenes to hear Dan’s perspective on what God did, how it impacted him personally, and how it’s shaping our mission here at home.

Today, we’re excited to hear from Gerald Mitchum, a missionary who has spent decades serving in Mongolia.

In 1995, Gerald and his wife Frances moved there with Christian Veterinary Mission to share the love of Jesus. What began as welcoming students into their home turned into a national ministry called V.E.T. Net. It’s a network of veterinarians and educators who bring hope to people across Mongolia through practical training and the message of Christ.

Let's get started!
