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.

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!

Greg serves as the director of Young Life in the Sandhills, and together, they’ve been investing in the lives of young people in incredible ways. I can’t wait for you to hear their heart for this ministry and the ways God is moving!
