Ignite conversations. Commit to biblical justice. And grow your church's heart for discipleship, generosity and global mission.

Hope Starts Here online is a compassion experience specifically designed for small groups. If you're a leader looking to host a unique event, or if you're looking for resources to complement your existing small groups, youth groups or Bible studies, Hope Starts Here Online is for you.

Hope Starts Here Online is free to host and attend. It is self-paced but takes most small groups approximately 45 minutes to complete. It can be streamed online or downloaded to your own device to make it as easy and accessible as possible. And we'll send you guides and resources to help plan your event - along with profiles of unsponsored children to give your small group an oppurtunity to sponsor in response to what they've experienced

  • Witness first-hand the life-transforming power of child sponsorship.
  • Be moved to respond as they see that, for a child in desperate need, hope can start with them.

it includes

An immersive video journey to Uganda structure over four themed chapters

Self-guided reflection oppurtunities supported by video devotionals

A comprehensive planning guide to help you make the most of this unique experience

Hope Starts Here is an amazing resource for pastors to bring the lens of poverty to their church without having to spend thousands of dollars to take their people to those countries to see it for themselves.
We have a unique opportunity to encourage our people to take an active role as the hands and feet of God. Many people ask, "What can I do?" You don't have to move the world, you just have to start and I think Hope Starts Here provides that opportunity.
