Have you ever wondered how you can make a difference in this crazy world? Or wondered how to help your kids or grandkids develop a heart of compassion? Especially during the holidays? Join me as I chat with Kristy Graham, the vibrant host of On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse.

From her home in the mountains of North Carolina, she beautifully balances motherhood, ministry, and a mission to bring hope where it’s needed most.

You’ll be inspired as Kristy explains how a simple family connection led her into the life-changing work of Samaritan’s Purse. Together, we explore disaster relief, medical missions, and how the Christmas catalog can teach children empathy through meaningful gifts.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that generosity—big or small—can shape our lives, bring Jesus’ hope to the world, and strengthen faith.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!
