Bright Hope

Bright Hope envisions a world where under-resourced, in-country churches transform their communities and bring Hope to the extreme poor. Our holistic ministry model uniquely empowers local Churches living in city slums and remote villages to provide Hope for Today (life saving interventions), Hope for Tomorrow (economic programs so the poor can raise themselves out of poverty) and Hope for Eternity (to know Jesus and grow in faith). We focus on communities of extreme poverty, where people live on less than $2.00 a day. We connect Christ-followers (from-here-to-over-there) to break the grip of extreme poverty and as we do, we see lives changed and our own hearts grow. Three keys to Biblically based blessings for helping the poor. (Isaiah. 58:10) 1. Help the poor - extreme poor when possible. 2. Connect with a local Church in a city slum or remote village 3. Provide holistic help vs. single channel aid Three steps to living out God's mandate to help the poor: 1. Pray about what you can and will do. 2. Find a Christian ministry that resonates with your heart and understanding of poverty 3. Give, go, serve, and stick with it until you are where God wants you to be.
