Champions of Hope:
A Community Building Approach
Creating a healthy environment where children can thrive!
Our local partners in the 7 countries where we serve believe that we are called as the global Church to help the poor. These church congregations are already labouring in love within their own communities to help vulnerable children and families, but they cannot do this work alone. They need Champions of Hope to stand beside them in support and love and prayer.
Be a Champion of Hope today and equip a church to provide support for at-risk families in their community: reaching struggling children and families, and building locally-driven and sustainable growth for the long-term benefit of the community. Choose a country to champion.
This is love in action.
As a Champion of Hope, your monthly contributions enable the development and expansion of a church’s outreach programs in areas such as:

New Hope Youth Centre, Ontario
A church established 20 years ago to serve as a spiritual refuge for First Nations youth. Led by First Nations elders, they long to be a light in their city. They want Indigenous youth to have a safe place to hang out, encounter loving community, and experience healing. We desire to help New Hope Fellowship expand its drop-in outreach from one night per week to six. To do so, the Church will need to hire a full-time staff member.
