After a tragic accident took the life of his father and seriously injured his mother, his family experienced the shame and pain of poverty and the power of kindness. In this unforgettable interview, Hal shares moments that changed his life: a haunting word from Mother Theresa, a miracle in one of his lowest seasons, and an encounter that opened heaven over Convoy of Hope. Through Convoy of Hope, families receive supplies and resources through community outreaches, international feeding programs for nearly 400,000 children a day, job training for mothers, agriculture initiatives, and disaster relief.
