    All Nations (founded by Floyd McClung) will be in Austin mid-April to help us become better senders of our people to overseas nations. Senders U has been designed to explore why senders are crucial in seeing the Great Commission accomplished, and to give ideas on how to be involved in taking the good news around the world. Come and receive inspiration from experienced workers who have served overseas, and are now effectively sending others.

  3. Christmas Giving for our Workers

    Community Updates

    Throughout December we hope to remember and give to our workers, both here in the USA and overseas, as a Christmas blessing for all their work throughout the year.

    Inside the sanctuary are three tables with a description of each workers’ ministry, and supplied with Christmas cards and stationary.  Hope Global Team will gather these and send them on to the workers by the end of December.

    In the front foyer is a Christmas Giving Tree where your whole family can pull an ornament (or several!) off the tree and place it in the envelope provided (you can even lift that worker up in a brief prayer as you do this). HGT will gather these envelopes and record them after each service.  Don’t forget to mark the amount and your name on the envelope.

    Thank you so much for thinking, praying, and giving towards our workers! They are so grateful to be remembered by their church family, and receiving these gifts at Christmas-time is a huge blessing… we hope this season is a blessing to all of you, as well!

  4. Did you miss the Smiths?

    Community Updates

    Do you enjoy encouraging our workers, and praying for God to advance His kingdom through them? Then please join us for a Skype prayer time with our overseas friends, the Smith family. We will meet in Hala and Deb’s office at 9am, October 22 for a 45 minute power prayer time. All are welcome!

  5. World Welcome Opportunities!

    Community Updates

    The end of summer is near, and with that comes a rush of University students back into Austin gearing up for another year. Around 6000 of these students come from all over the world and have basic needs that we can meet as the hands and feet of Jesus.

    Watch this video, or read below!

     

    Friendship Family/ Individual:

    You can become a support and a friend to one, or many, international students looking for a connection! Show them around Austin, invite them into your home for a meal, take them grocery shopping… there are many ways to connect with a student!

    ESL Conversation Partners or English classes:

    You can meet with a student to intentionally help them practice their English, or take on a group of students and lead an English class. Hope Chapel has plenty of resources for this, so teaching degree not required.

    World Welcome will also be facilitating regular gatherings for international students interested in staying connected. We would love to have Hope-ites participating in these activities as well.

    Please contact Christine Wilson to find out more!

    Come bless the the nation of Turkey, the small Turkish church there, our Hope family living there as workers, and the other believing workers with your prayers, prophecies, and worship.
