Dear Hands of Hope Family,

Let us share a special message from our dear friend Chip Ingram:

It is a privilege to share my thoughts on the incredible impact and the future of HOH. My journey with Glen began nearly 50 years ago, and over 15 years ago, Theresa and I visited HOH in Zimbabwe. We witnessed orphans being cared for, educated, and loved all while experiencing the gospel through the local church. Our 2023 visit left us in awe as we saw the ministry’s homes, feeding centers, preschools, and bridging schools flourishing under God’s guidance. Former beneficiaries have become university graduates and now lead this remarkable work, proof of HOH’s transformative power.

HOH has developed a sustainable and scalable model that integrates Transformation Centers, strong ties to the local church, personalized care, spiritual development, and life-skills training. It is one of the most impactful ministries I have encountered, demonstrating integrity, discipleship, and proven success over the past two decades.

Looking ahead, two critical needs must be addressed:

1.       Leadership Succession: HOH requires a clear plan for continuity and growth to continue its mission.

2.       Broader Support: More people must hear the HOH story and join in supporting this gospel-centered model of transformation for children.

I encourage you to:

·         Pray for God to raise up the next leader and guide those currently serving.

·         Share the vision of HOH with friends and networks, inspiring others to join in this meaningful work.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Your past support has transformed lives, and your continued partnership will help ensure HOH thrives for years to come. May God bless our collective efforts to expand His kingdom and bring hope to these precious children.

With gratitude,

Chip Ingram CEO/Founder, Living on the Edge
