Wilkes Ministry of Hope

Braxton talks with John Triplet from the Wilkes Ministry of Hope about how the ministry meets practical needs in Wilkes County while sharing the gospel. John describes their food outreach, financial assistance, baby closet, wood-cutting efforts, and their growing ramp-building ministry, all of which open doors for pointing people to Jesus. The episode focuses especially on their annual Toy Store, now in its 21st year, which serves over 1,600 children by providing gifts to parents and offering an opportunity to share the story of Jesus. John shares how God consistently provides, how lives are being changed—including multiple salvations each year—and how the ministry continues to expand through volunteers, community partnerships, and upcoming discipleship initiatives.
