Kingdom Builders

From now to the end of the year, we’re believing big to give an additional $500,000 toward local and global initiatives.

Now is the time!

At the end of this summer, I had the opportunity to travel to Japan and Singapore to meet with some of our amazing missionaries. Day after day, they told me stories of people coming to Jesus, on the crowded University campus in Tokyo as well as the least populated place on the planet, Mongolia. I heard stories of church planting opportunities in Indonesia, children’s homes, and rescue and compassion ministries in Cambodia and Vietnam. My heart was stirred deeply. After their presentation, the missionaries asked two things: “Will you pray?” and “Will you give?” So, will you join me in praying and giving?

THANK YOU for praying and giving!

Christmas Big Give Sunday 

Our strategy is simple: “Plant the church where it currently isn’t, and empower the church where it currently is.” From now through the end of the month, we are receiving a special Christmas offering to help meet these pressing, urgent needs. The Apostle Paul told Titus, “Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others” (Titus 3:14 NLT). Let’s do just that!

Our Focus

Neighborhoods: We are committed to funding the growth of the church locally through expanding our own campuses, planting other life-giving, Spirit-filled churches in our communities, and ministering to the hurting in our own backyards.

Next Gen: You are making miracles happen—thank you! Be part of upgrading our environment where kids are discipled and families are empowered to raise up future world-changers!

Nations: We are partnering to give access to the Gospel to those who don’t currently have it. We are doing this creatively through building businesses that serve a need in unreached communities, particularly in Buddhist nations. These businesses give us access to the unreached, put us in relationship with local people, and give us the opportunity to make disciples who will then build the Church.

Miracles in Motion Projects

Now more than ever, we are committed to doing our part in bringing the message of hope to the rest of the world. Both near and far, we take responsibility to put our hands to the plow and keep our eyes on our leader, Jesus Christ. Everything we do today is about building His Church!

Neighbors (Local)

Resourcing our outreach squads that focus on sharing the love of Jesus by finding solutions for homelessness, hunger, and crime in the greater Lansing area.

Being open handed to the poor and those in need by maintaining well-stocked local food pantries and providing regular food distributions in the Lansing area.

Providing the basic necessities of coats, jackets, and boots to kids in section 8 housing—especially through the cold Michigan winters.

Bringing the message of hope and restoration of Jesus to Michigan prisoners.

Hosting vulnerable children and creating extended family with a community of godly people who are motivated by compassion to keep children safe and families intact.

Planting new Mount Hope campuses to bring Jesus to local subcultures within the Soul Zone that will meet in boardrooms, restaurants, and parks—wherever people gather, we desire to be there.

Sharing the healing power of Jesus with survivors of human trafficking, by providing a safe place to recover from destructive patterns of abuse.

NextGen

Investing in the future by renovating our spaces for the next generation. This includes upgrading our children’s rooms to an atmosphere that is fresh and bright; helping to strengthen and upgrade our parent experience; and elevating our lessons with much-needed technology and equipment.

Nations (Global)

Japan is less than 1% Christian and is the second largest unreached people group in the world. However, the most receptive segment of the population is university students. So, we believe campus ministry is one of the keys for revival in Japan. Because the city is widening the road outside of the Chi Alpha Student Center, they will have to relocate into a new facility and then renovate that space.

Our very own Scott & Ruth Thompson are right in the heart of Indonesia, proclaiming the name of Jesus! – $19,500

The A/G Bible School on Maluku island urgently needs 20 new desktop computers, as its 60 students currently share 5 computers in poor condition for writing papers and online research. The cost for the new computers is $8,000. On Java island, an A/G Bible School requires an $8,000 sound system for its chapel, which is currently underutilized due to the lack of sound equipment. A mobile sound system would enhance flexibility for events. Additionally, there’s a need for one more $3,500 scholarship for Bible School students.

Our ministry team has a vision to work with and support local churches while reaching out to the community through relational evangelism and compassion ministries. This community center will serve 100-200 children and young people on a daily basis.

The home was given a notice to vacate their property. They had no place to go. The property they’ve occupied for 30 years was taken over by the mafia who wants to build a casino. The orphans and staff are in desperate need of a new home and we’re going to build them one. But even while that home is being built, we must feed and clothe these orphans. For $799, you can provide clothing and three meals a day for an entire year for one our orphans.

Indonesia has a population larger than Russia with 220 unreached people groups. Our goal is to boldly proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, equip believers for the work of the ministry, plant the Church where it doesn’t yet exist. We need 100 new campus ministries launched, and they cost $1,000 each.

We are believing for radical transformation for the beautiful people of Papua New Guinea. Our heart is to plant five new Bible College Dormitories in Papua New Guinea at $35,000 each, creating a Kingdom impact for generations to come.

There are two Project Rescue sites that are asking for our help this year: one in the Philippines and one in Indonesia. For $3,500, you can provide holistic care for a rescued girl in one of these homes… that’s food, clothing, medical care, vocational training, and discipleship.

For $150 you can fund a micro business for a family in the Philippines. Each family receives five months of training and mentoring and then capital to get their business started. This $150 starts a family on a path to financial freedom. Eighty-five families have been helped so far; we have 250 more families waiting for funding.

For $1,080 you can provide support for a church planter in Vietnam for two years while they get established. We have 42 church planters RIGHT NOW waiting for support.

Ongoing / Completed Initiatives

Because of your faithful giving, we are carrying the gospel into all the world. People are being transformed, disciples are being equipped, and lives are being added to the Kingdom. THANK YOU! Here are the projects you have helped in completing throughout this year.

We are committed to making a difference in the statistic that 40% of the world lives without access to Christ. Mount Hope’s “boots on the ground” strategy is to plant churches among unreached people groups of the earth through multi-national teams while providing consistent and personal engagement. Mount Hope currently supports 370 missionaries who do this daily in 120 different countries. Regular monthly support gives a foundation to these families and individuals in otherwise difficult contexts.

Because of your generosity, we are able to build 15 new churches in Kenya! A big heartfelt thank you, Mount Hopers! These new structures will help in protecting from rain, give shade from the hot sun, and communicate permanence to the community. Thank you!
