Yeah, I think of everything that Convoy of Hope does, the fact that we bring lasting change and move people from desperation to resiliency, that really is the hallmark of Convoy of Hope's missional footprint.

Yeah, so Convoy of Hope started in 1994. It actually was the outgrowth of how his background is in journalism. And he was asked to go to Calcutta, India to go write a book for some missionaries that were based in Calcutta. And while he was there, he was asked as part of the book to interview Mother Teresa. Whoa. Yeah.

And so while he's interviewing Mother Teresa, she, as one would expect, she turns the tables and looks at him and says, young man, what are you doing to respond to the needs of the poor and suffering? Just get called out by Mother Teresa. That'll do it. Mic drop. Well, and in that moment, you might think about lying, but I don't think you should really.

And so Hal was honest, and he said, I'm really not doing much of anything. And she looked at him and said, young man, everyone can do something. Just do the next kind thing. And as a young man, this shook him. He took 30 days when he got back to the United States, going to some of the major cities in America and seeing the plight of the poor and suffering.

And out of that, emptied his bank account and started distributing food to the migrant workers in California where he lived at the time. And out of that, Convoy of Hope was born. And now some 30 years later, Convoy of Hope last year alone helped more than 37 million people.

One of the things that I love about Convoy of Hope is that it does have a neighbor's donation strategy. And so we're involved all across America. One of the big things that we do is we do disaster relief. We have responded to right at 100 disasters already this year. What that looks like, an example would be Asheville, North Carolina, that area responding to Hurricane Helene.
