"Serving on a team has changed me forever!"

This year, nearly 100 volunteers from all over the US served with us in East Africa!  Most were part of mission teams from our partner churches and organizations, and they did a fantastic job in running vacation bible school programs, leading sports activities, providing training to our staff, carrying out practical projects, serving in our medical clinic and schools, and helping with our child sponsorship program. What a blessing they have been to our children and staff!

Here’s what three of these team members told us:

• “HopeCo has been absolutely amazing. I love their faith-based approach to teaching. They are creating amazing children who will grow to be the future.” 

• “I came with the assumption of God using me and my giftings to impact the children. What I'm walking away with is realizing God used everyone here to impact ME and my relationship with our Father.” 

• “You will never realize how impactful it is to experience this joy and love like no other.” 

At HopeCo, we are committed to pursuing excellence in our mission team program, and we were recently accredited by MissionExcellence for the high standards we set! Their director reported that:

• “In addition to meeting the standards, HopeCo has a commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in all areas. They are a Christ-centered organization that puts high value on deep relationships and partnership, and they have a culture of collaboration.”
