How is HOPE worldwide
responding to COVID-19? - (April 1, 2020)
The world is forever changed by the impact of COVID-19. Everyone is treading in uncharted waters and adapting and learning every day. We are all being asked to love our neighbors in need and to answer the call -- what can I do to help?
HOPE worldwide is responding to this global pandemic by staying true to the mission of Jesus -- transforming our world through love and support for our neighbors in need. While some volunteer service trips have been canceled or postponed, our dedicated staff are working around the clock communicating with church leaders, Chapters, partners, donors and volunteers. Our utmost priority is to protect the people and the communities we support, and that has meant changing how we work to follow current government and medical mandates.

Day of Prayer and Fasting - (March 25, 2020)

Have hope during this time of uncertainty. (March 24, 2020)
At HOPE worldwide, we believe in the mission of Jesus to transform a hurting world through love and support for our neighbors in need. Especially in this time of crisis, He wants us to love our neighbor! In fact, we have a unique opportunity to do that right now. Don’t miss it. You were made to make a difference.
An encouraging message from Reese Neyland: Watch the Video
Tips on how to love people during this crisis:
- Call someone and encourage them.
- Send a text to a friend or neighbor.
- Use social media to share a voice of hope and love.
- Pray with someone using FaceTime or video chat.
- Share online educational tools/resources with families homeschooling.
- Order groceries and supplies online for the elderly and those without internet access.
- Be creative on how we can love digitally.
God is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine.
