Sacrifice…surrender, selflessness, pain. Praise…joy, thankfulness, celebration. A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE. Life in a slum community where there’s never enough food, space, privacy, beds, or water and always too much pain, brokenness, abuse, and crime.  But there is a light in the form of a new building that brings hope to the hopeless.  A SACRIFICE OF […]

This morning we head out at 5 a.m. for JFK in New York City.  24 hours later, we will be in Ghana for our much-anticipated camp of 2019. Please pray for us today as we travel.  Pray that we make our connecting flight (with only a 50 minute layover).  Pray that we will be filled […]

You may have heard the big news, and it really is BIG!  After 7 years of watching God do amazing things in Ghana, He is providing a place for us – a real Arm of Hope place for us.  It’s been part of our dreams and vision for Arm of Hope since day 1! You […]

Six weeks ago, Arm of Hope held what we hope to be our first annual banquet.  It was a great night of food, fun, testimonies, worship, and a message from our missionary partner and director of Arm of Hope, Philip Darko. Since that night many of you have encouraged us by letting us know how […]

Our Vision: To see young people in slum communities discipled to love Jesus with all their hearts so they can rise up as leaders and disciple-makers who transform their community, their country, and their world.

It’s that time of year again, and plans for the Arm of Hope third annual 5k race are well underway! No matter what your age, you are welcome! We’ve had people under 5 and over 70 join us in the past. It is a very family-friendly event. Competitive runners and casual walkers are all welcome! […]
