Over the years there has been an evolution of Christ-followers who have answered God's call to the mission field that have been faithfully supported both financially and in prayer by Hope Church. Each ministry partner goes through a careful and prayerful process in applying for that partnership as the leadership teams deeply desire to be faithful stewards of the mission budget. Currently we support twenty-four ministry partners around the globe and close to home.
