Meeting Jessica: doctors said she wouldn’t be here

Posted by Matt On March - 10 - 2011

Our spring Convoy of Hope intern team is currently in the Philippines. Jessica is on the team, and that makes us all happy. She’s bright, full of integrity, creative and loves Jesus a lot. You can see her blog, some of her photography and more at her website, jessicasievers.com .

Here, she shares a bit of her life, which doctors said she wouldn’t be able to live normally…

So glad Jessica is on this team… from mattwilkie on Vimeo.

Meet Nik-more than rock and roll

Posted by Matt On March - 3 - 2011

Everyone has a story…and learning stories about great people is one of my favorite things. Here’s a bit about Nik. He started the band Undying Allegiance 5 years ago, but stepped away for this season to help the poor around the world as a Convoy of Hope intern. His story includes way more than the 1 1/2 minutes you’ll see here, but I wanted you to get a glimpse of this great man who has a great perspective on life.


Here’s the first single from his band’s latest project. It’s ironically called, “The Story of Our Lives.”

What is a time or situation in your life that helped you gain perspective?

Meeting the team: Andy

Posted by Matt On March - 2 - 2011

I get to meet some really, really good people. People like Andy. He and the rest of the Convoy of Hope Intern team members challenge me, encourage me, and help me keep life in perspective.

Here, he shares 2 minutes of his incredible life story. I’ll post about other team members in the future.

What gives you perspective?
