Our Mission Statement is to “To bring hope and healing to hurting people through the Name, the Power and the Love of Jesus Christ.” Hope Outreach began in the fall of 2005 with two women walking the streets of Zanesville, looking for prostitutes to show the love of God to. From there we began a late night outreach where we handed out roses, established relationships with and prayed for any woman w
e could safely approach after dark in certain areas of Zanesville which are known for drugs, prostitution and violence. In 2009 we officially incorporated as a ministry and obtained 501(c)3 status in 2011. Although our ministry has grown and changed over the years, one thing will never change: Our mission statement will always be, "to bring hope and healing to hurting people, through the name, the power and the love of Jesus Christ." And that includes not only abandoning ourselves to Him in worship, but loving those He loves, going where He tells us to go and being His hands, feet and voice here on earth. Our commission in missions is to be a light in dark places and bring Jesus to places others are unable or unwilling to go. Over the years we have partnered with various ministries to bring hope and healing to those in poverty, prostitution and other life crisis.
Our mission trip experiences have included prostitution outreach in Thailand, Brazil and Cambodia, ministering to impoverished and often times sexually exploited children in Haiti and throughout Southeast Asia, bush outreach in Africa, garbage dump ministry in Mexico and throughout Southeast Asia, and street evangelism in numerous countries throughout the world. Along with outreach and missions, the mandate of Hope Outreach is to empower women to become world changers in their sphere of influence through conferences, retreats and Dunamis Prayer Weekends. Hope Outreach is a non denominational Christian ministry. Our spiritual covering and leadership accountability is the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening.
