“Hope - Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us...A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.”
― Barack Obama
Today is National Audacity to Hope Day, in honor or former president Barack Obama's famous speech and book "The Audacity of Hope." As President Obama so wisely noted, not only is hope a gift, but it is audacious. At Agape Development, we have the privledge of witnessing audacious hope each and every day - in the formerly bankrupt neighbor who now owns his own home, in the previously incarcerated mother who found meaningful work, in the kindergartener with dyslexia who learned to write his name, and in all of our neighbors who continue to show up despite the most challending of circumstances.
