HOPE Talks

We are joined on today’s broadcast of HOPE Talks by by the Director and founder of Village to Village, Heidi Dove. Heidi joins us today to talk about the ministry that Village to Village does in our community and abroad. Village to Village began because of several trips to Guatemala. After realizing that we could adopt villages and provide sustainable resources, we felt like it would be the perfect opportunity to build relationships long term and help communities become self sufficient. On one of our first trips to Guatemala, Heidi's mentor challenged her to pray about beginning her own nonprofit. After months of prayer and talking with possible board members, we began Village to Village in May of 2016. Other than Guatemala, all of our countries have local connections. People that serve on our board or with us in ministry have connected us to the places where we serve. A few years into ministry, we realized that we needed something local and that is where working with the local refugee community began. We feel like this is very similar to what we do internationally.

The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!””‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭35‬-‭41‬ ‭We would also like to invite you to take an anonymous six question survey to help give us some feedback on the podcast.

On today’s broadcast of Hope Talks Pastor Margaret Michael and Grayson Willis talk about why it’s important for us as believers to share our testimony/story and how God can use it to bring others to him. Also, it can bring hope and encouragement to other believers who might be going through similar things. 1 Peter 3:15-16 says “Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.” We would also like to invite you to take an anonymous six question survey to help give us some feedback on the podcast.
