“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” John 14:27

Across the HOPE International network, men and women work every day with steadfast faith and strength to provide for their families, even in the face of significant challenges.

Will you join us in praying that God would move in the communities HOPE serves, and that families would know the surpassing peace of Christ and the comfort of His presence?

A savings group is simple but powerful: neighbors meet weekly, pool whatever money they can spare, and make loans to one another for things like growing businesses, paying school fees, or building safer homes.

Across partnerships spanning the global HOPE network, this tool served more than 170,000 men and women last year. And now, thanks to one of our newest partnerships, AMIGA is the first church denomination to launch savings groups in Latin America and the Caribbean—beginning with the underserved Afro-Indigenous Garífuna communities along the coast of Honduras!

For many entrepreneurs in the Philippines, accessing capital comes at a steep cost. Predatory lenders often charge extremely high interest rates, trapping families in cycles of debt, threatening their safety, and making it difficult for businesses to grow.

Through the Center for Community Transformation (CCT), a partner of HOPE, entrepreneurs like Eddie have access to something different: loans with fair terms, Christ-centered discipleship, and a supportive community.

As a father of six and an aspiring entrepreneur, Eddie received a $200 loan through CCT. This investment launched Eddie into his business—a mobile store—and has blessed him with training, prayer, and encouragement as he works hard to provide for his family.

In communities where predatory lending remains common, HOPE and CCT are working to ensure more families like Eddie’s have access to safe, dignifying financial services that help them thrive.

Do you ever see a problem and think, “What can I do about it?”

That’s how Margarita (pictured with her son, Adiel) began building a business that now serves her family and community in the Dominican Republic. After closing her first business, she noticed construction was growing in her town, but there was no local hardware store to meet the needs.

With support from Esperanza, HOPE's local microfinance institution, she opened one, starting with just four products.

Today, her hardware store has grown to more than 500 products.

And Margarita hasn’t stopped there! She has launched other businesses, including a coconut oil manufacturing business that employs 30 women in her community, and a ranch property where she hosts church retreats and camps.

"There's plenty of need here,” she shares, “so we're remaining open to what the Lord shows us is the next right thing to serve this community."

What a joy to see so many friends of HOPE at our 26th annual golf tournament on Friday! There’s nothing quite like teeing off for a full day of golf, fellowship, and fundraising to bring the Gospel and financial tools to underserved communities around the world.

Thanks to the generosity of our golfers and sponsors, we raised more than $1,750,000—enough for HOPE to serve 70,000 people. Praise God!

Farming is more than a job; it's a calling. And through our savings group programs, we're helping farmers find dignity and thrive in their calling.

Working in partnership with local churches, our savings groups in countries like Tanzania and Malawi offer farming-specific training in rural communities so farmers can strengthen their livelihoods, invest in their families, and help their communities flourish.

When the power goes out in Ukraine from another drone strike, the lights stay on at Artem and Alina's restaurant thanks to a loan from HOPE Ukraine.

The generator that Artem and Alina bought with their loan has helped them stay in business despite the ongoing war—so neighbors can get a warm meal, and their staff still have steady work.

"God, family, and church — this is what gives strength in difficult and anxious times," they share.
