"The Journey of Hope began as a direct result of encounters in my life, i felt the responsibility that the church at large had been given a great mandate to 'Go ye therefore' (Matt 28) and to 'Help the Orphans' (James 1:27)

My heart is thrilled when i think about what the future holds for Hope and the opportunities God is calling us to be part of. God has great things in store for us - Christ has done so much for us, we had to respond!"
