Serving Our International Community

We believe God’s love has no bounds to country or region. We are passionate about sharing His love and meeting people’s needs in communities across the globe. Here are some of the international projects we are excited to take part in.


CUBA

THE SESMA FAMILY

This church plant has seen so many people from their community in Havana come to faith in Jesus and join their church family that they are completely filling their space during worship services! The Hope Project will help them complete a much-needed expansion to their building over the next year.


DENMARK

THE CHRISTENSEN FAMILY

Since their launch, Open Church has seen many of their friends and neighbors know and follow Jesus, especially after having gained international media attention for their creative use of a drive-in theater for socially distanced worship services. With the help of the Hope Project over the next year, they plan to extend their impact by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of people in Freetown who are struggling with homelessness.


GUATEMALA

THE HERNANDEZ FAMILY

This San Lucas church plant is deeply committed to meeting the needs of its community as a step toward connecting them with Jesus. Their feeding center distributes much-needed meals to hungry families. With the help of the Hope Project, they will expand their feeding program over the next year and open up beds and housing for people without a home.

Meet these partners on a service trip.


HAITI

THE FUNTECHA FAMILY

The Funtechas are helping people take their next step toward Jesus through their orphanage, feeding centers, schools and in providing supplies and support with the rebuilding of infrastructure destroyed by a devastating earthquake. With the help of the Hope Project, they will be training up new native pastors, teachers and leaders over the next year to plant more churches and open more schools in communities outside of Port-Au-Prince.


KENYA

THE AWANO FAMILY

This church plant is working to break the cycle of poverty in Mombasa by providing meals and education for young children so they can eventually attend high school and college. In the process, they are able to share the good news of Jesus with all of their students! With the help of the Hope Project over the next year, they will help even more families and plant more churches in their region.


MONGOLIA

THE BALLINGER FAMILY

The Ballinger family is passionate about training native locals to lead and plant churches. They recently handed off their second church plant to a native pastor and are now planting a new church in a different village. They also help introduce children in the capital city to the love of Jesus through the feeding centers they oversee there. With the help of the Hope Project, they will open a coffee shop in their new village to create jobs for locals and to connect the community with his church plant.


NEPAL

THE POKHAREL FAMILY

The Pokharels are determined to see an indigenous church-planting movement spread through South Asia, and are working toward that at breakneck speed! Their training program graduates 20 native church planters every five months! The Hope Project will help them plant 40 new churches and launch eight low-cost after-school programs for low-income families.

NEW ZEALAND

THE WALKER FAMILY

Ben and Raelene Walker launched Story Church in 2019 in Christchurch with the goal of reaching the 98% of residents that don’t attend a church. After a devastating attack in the city, many began asking spiritual questions and a wave of residents began attending Story Church and following Jesus. With the help of the Hope Project, they plan to acquire a permanent meeting location to accommodate their growing church family.


PAKISTAN

THE FERNANDEZ FAMILY

The Fernandez family has a heart for sharing the love of Jesus in the region of Karachi, the largest Muslim city in the world, particularly to people groups that are typically exploited or ostracized by society. With the help of the Hope Project, they plan to build a well this year to provide water to an impoverished village, and to provide education for people commonly exploited in a form of slave labor.


URUGUAY

THE ALVAREZ FAMILY

Emily and Estaban Alvarez, natives to Uruguay, are passionate about connecting people with Jesus in Montevideo, a city known for its negative view of churches. Through community events and online services, they have seen a growing number of people come to follow Jesus! The Hope Project will support their efforts to train pastors and church leaders in the area.
