Bold Hope Inc

BOLD HOPE EXISTS TO INSPIRE HOPE BY CONNECTING AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO TRANSFORM LIVES WORLDWIDE. WE INITIATE CONNECTION THROUGH SERVICE AND SPONSORSHIP - COLLABORATING TO SUPPORT GOD'S WORK IN ORDER TO IMPACT LIVES GLOBALLY. WE COME ALONGSIDE LOCAL MINISTRY PARTNERS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE GOOD WORK ALREADY BEING ACCOMPLISHED, TACKLING EACH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL NEED THAT PRESENTS ITSELF WHILE SHARING THE GOSPEL. A FOCUS ON DISCIPLE-MAKING IS PARAMOUNT; WITHOUT A SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST, THERE CAN BE NO REAL HOPE DESPITE IMPROVED CIRCUMSTANCES.

IN 2023, BOLD HOPE TOOK MORE THAN 612 TRIP PARTICIPANTS ON 41 MISSION TRIPS TO 5 COUNTRIES TO SUPPORT THE GOOD WORK THAT OUR PARTNERS FAITHFULLY CARRY OUT YEAR-ROUND. OUR TEAMS SERVED IN VARIOUS WAYS IN IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES BY DOING THINGS LIKE EVANGELIZING AMONG MUSLIMS AND HINDUS, LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE FIRST EVANGELICAL CHURCH IN A RURAL VILLAGE, HOSTING MEDICAL CLINICS, BUILDING A COMMUNITY CENTER, AND GETTING A HEALTH POST READY TO REOPEN TO THE PUBLIC. ADDITIONALLY, SCHOOL PROGRAMS, HOME VISITS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND CHILDREN'S MINISTRY WERE MAINSTAYS IN TRIP PROGRAMMING.

OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS EXIST TO MEET DAILY NEEDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNMET. OUR CONTINUED FOCUS ON CHILD SPONSORSHIP WAS BORN OUT OF A FIRM BELIEF THAT SPONSORSHIP PROVIDES HOPE AND A FUTURE TO CHILDREN AROUND THE GLOBE WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE FIND THEMSELVES IN DESPERATE SITUATIONS. IN MANY COUNTRIES, FAMILIES ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR CHILDREN FINANCIALLY, WHICH IN TURN MAKES THEM SUSCEPTIBLE TO SEPARATION OR EXPLOITATION. OUR DESIRE IS TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER BY SUPPORTING IMPORTANT EFFORTS ALREADY BEING MADE IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES OR FACILITATING OUR OWN CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN SOME LOCATIONS. OUR SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMS PROVIDE CHILDREN IN HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS WITH BASIC NECESSITIES INCLUDING ITEMS SUCH AS CLEAN WATER, FOOD, MEDICAL ATTENTION, SHELTER, CLOTHING, EDUCATION, PROTECTION, AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT.

OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS IN 2023 ALLOWED US TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR REACH AROUND THE WORLD. THE MONEY RAISED THROUGH VARIOUS EVENTS AND FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS WAS USED TO INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL WORK IN BELIZE. SOME OF THE FUNDS WERE USED TO HELP FINISH THE ROOF ON A HEALTH CLINIC IN THE IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITY OF GEORGETOWN, BELIZE. HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ARE STILL PRIORITIES AS WELL; A PORTION OF THE MONEY RAISED WILL BE USED TO CONTINUE OUR DEDICATION TO PROGRAMS IN THOSE LOCATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, FUNDRAISING HELPS OFFSET OUR ONGOING ADMINISTRATIVE NEEDS GLOBALLY.
