I am amazed at the compassion, hard work, skill, and strategy that characterizes Convoy of Hope. We are looking forward to hosting an outreach in the town where I pastor in the next year or so.

I have seen firsthand the difference Convoy of Hope is making in Haiti. Thousands of children are fed every day and clean water is provided to many who otherwise would have no access. I have also witnessed how Convoy works with missionaries and leaders in Macedonia. We helped load a truck with food for an outreach in that nation.

I don't know of an organization that does it better. As a pastor, I want to work with Convoy of Hope in the future as much as possible.
My husband and I worked in the mission field with Convoy of Hope for nearly 2 years after hurricane Katrina. We are full time disaster relief missionaries who focus on homeowners who need funding and materials and volunteers to rebuild their homes. Convoy is priceless in what they do and are experts in the field. Lives are changed daily, by the thousands, due to their generosity and hearts of service.
We are honored to count the folks at Convoy of Hope among our friends!

I had the opportunity to serve on a mission trip to Albania coordinated by Convoy of hope Europe, We participated in their "adopt a community program". Their team worked closely with our church to plan and setup multiple events and activities so that we can have a lasting effect on people from a very poor community. COH's dedicated staff did the advance work needed to maximize our efforts when our team hit the ground. They helped us to develop close relationships with Missionaries in the area, local Albanian pastors and most importantly with the people in the community. The logistical support they gave us help us to accomplish a tremendous amount of work which we did side by side with the community that we were serving. This developed lifelong bonds with our Albanian friends. Our church is looking forward to returning in Sept. of this year to take on a new project and see our friends again

The professional way in which they manage donated dollars and provide a high level of accountability through communication through all phases of the projects. The dedicated staff of COH are tireless servants who go above and beyond any reasonable expectation.

Spread the word to others about what a great organization this is.
I think of you everyday. You are so courageous to get 'right in there', anywhere in the world where people are starting to lose 'hope', the only thing that might sustain them 'till the calvary arrives' (if it ever does!) Bless you for your powerful faith. Your every action speaks of the love of a very powerful Lord. Thank you!

I'm a youth pastor in Bonner Springs Ks. and my wife and I took our kids to youth convention in Wichita. We were in charge of the "prayer tent" and food distribution areas. We got to pray with many people in need and see souls saved. We were so blessed to be apart of this ministry. God really moved in the people that came trough. At the end of the day and we still had lots of food left over so we went tto the parking lot to some people that were getting ready to leave and had them pull their car over by the truck. This lady pulled up and we started litterally filling her car with bags of groceries. She got out bawling and hugging the necks of the youth loading her car. She told us that some of her family had moved in with her and she didn't know how she was going to feed them. She prayed that morning "God help me feed my family" She was driving by and decided to see what was going on at the church we were at. GOD ANSWERED HER PRAYER!!!

What an awesome way to reach the community for Christ. Mt 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I hope that I have the opprtunity to do this again.

I had the opporunity to serve in a community outreach event in rural Missouri and what an awesome experience! Convoy of Hope organized hundreds of workers, supplies, resources, and logistics to efficiently and effectively minister to thousands of families. The range of services included personal care, health screening, social services, nutrition/food, spiritual, and family entertainment. It was a blessing for both the workers and the recipients!

I've seen Convoy of Hope grow from a samll start up to the organizaiton that exists today. They provide disaster relief both domestically and internationally, as well as outreaches to often poverty-stricken areas.

In 2005, when hurricane Rita devasted SW Louisiana, many agencies were tapped out and slow to respond, having responded to hurricane Katrina a month earlier, but Convoy of Hope was one of the first to hit the ground running and set up relief in some areas.

I trust their processes, and their use of money and othe resources, I would like to see them more widely known and mentioned in media as an alternative to the ususal donation pitches that occur after most disasters.
