“And to the ends of the earth…” (Acts 1:8)
Do you have a desire to help children in East Africa? Is your youth group needing an opportunity to look beyond their own circumstances and see God at work in another culture? Does an adult group from your church want to experience their faith in Jesus on a new level? Is your school looking for a tangible way to encourage children in another country? HopeCo is always looking for more partners who will send mission teams to Tanzania!
Hopeco mission teams:
Involve 5-20 participants
Are usually formed from a church, school, or organization
Serve in Tanzania for up to two weeks
Teams usually work together to accomplish a specific goal, such as leading a children’s program, painting a new classroom, helping on a construction project, offering medical support, or providing training, depending on a team’s skills.

from a team member…
“This trip has truly changed Reece and me. We felt and continue to feel so much joy, peace, and love from the kids and the staff. Immediately upon arrival at the City of Hope, I heard from the team members how at home they felt. The children and staff have a deep reverence for the Lord that has strongly impacted me. My spirit feels so enriched. You are truly continuing to change the world in the states and in Tanzania.”
