Is giving to the poor actually a wise financial strategy? Guest speaker Bryan McLees of Convoy of Hope joins Jeff as we explore the counterintuitive economics of the Kingdom: why giving to the poor isn't just compassionate—it's one of the wisest things you can do.
Jeff & Bryan McLees (Convoy of Hope) talk about how your ‘One Day’s Wage’ can change someone’s ‘Everyday Life.’ Listen in as we discuss our current ministry partnership in Zimbabwe, future plans of travel, and the incredible stories of what God is doing through YOUR generosity.
God’s heart for the poor is seen throughout scripture. From beginning to end you see how God is providing for our needs, healing our pain, and setting us free. This same heart is on perfect display in the life of Jesus and early in His ministry. Listen in as we’re reminded of ‘The Heart of Christ’ while we prepare to give generously to our mission partners at ‘Convoy of Hope.’
Jesus had compassion for the multitudes and knew how to respond. Natalie unpacks the scriptures in John 6 where Jesus feeds the 5,000, teaching us about His beautiful provision. There are plenty of ways in our human nature that we can come up lots of different ideas on how to feed the hungry, but when we place our trust, our small ideas, our simple gifts, our plans to him… He already knows what to do and multiplies it! This is what Convoy of Hope does when we partner with them and give one day’s wage away.
As we wrap up the One Day series, Natalie shares a well known parable drawing connection from the text to the work we're doing with Convoy of Hope. Listen in as she explains our calling to care for the poor. BONUS: She interviews our vineyard missions team that just got back from Puerto Rico.
We are in the midst of our 'One Day to Feed the World' Campaign. Natalie takes a look at the life of Jesus and how he demonstrates compassion over and over again to those in need. We are called to be like Jesus, to be not only intentional, but also to be responsive to the needs of others. Convoy of Hope looks a lot like Jesus as we join them in their response to the poor and suffering all over the world. Through our generosity, we can respond and bring hope to so many!
As we launch our ‘One Day to Feed the World’ campaign, Jeff reaches back to the Old Testament to explore how God has always called believers to ‘be intentional’ when it comes to caring for the poor. Listen in as we talk about how to ‘be intentional’ with Convoy of Hope and how our generosity is changing the world.
