Taking HOPE on the road |
Lockdown limited our travel from home to home, place to place, town to town, and especially country to country. Yet in this season we have taken HOPE global.
Roy Crowne became the President of HOPE in January and started taking HOPE from the UK to the world. Through the power of online conversations, webinars and digital content, he has had great openings while everything has been locked down. We are so excited that we can give HOPE to the world at this time.
Visit the website to find out how HOPE is helping local churches work together to make Jesus known around the world. Watch the video to find out more and join us as we pray that the name of Jesus will be known throughout the earth. Psalm 48:10 “Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.”

Hope (and Roy) to the world
The pandemic is a global issue and wellbeing has become a real priority worldwide. HOPE has tapped into the prophetic nature of this topic through our Wellbeing Journey and our resources have opened the door to Africa and Asia. Roy has been leading the way in sharing the series in Tanzania (via TV in Swahili). Christians in Japan, Singapore and Vietnam are all keen to translate the series for their territories. Roy is also increasingly supporting the global church in other ways as he goes part-time for HOPE, working for Revelation Trust and recruiting Gospel entrepreneurs to enable the church to be more fruitful in this season, investing in church, community and business. If that’s you, or you know someone who might be a Gospel entrepreneur, contact us. We’d love to work with you. Visit revelationtrust.org/connect
AND WE'RE GLOBAL! |
A healthy generation
We’ve just launched the all-new Wellbeing for Schools!
The series of sessions respond to the needs of the ‘recovery curriculum’ suggested for schools by the government after the first 2020 lockdown. Wellbeing Journey for schools is an edited version of the Youth Wellbeing Journey, but for specific use in secondary schools. It’s created for a generation who need a moment to pause and the tools to make wellbeing a part of how they live their lives now and in the future. As part of the sessions we have included reflection moments and pause points for discussion. It's important young pupils feel supported and can reflect on how their experiences have impacted their wellbeing. If you want to find out more about getting the wellbeing journey into your school visit: wellbeingjourney.org/schools. Also check out Matt Wild and Amy Charlton in a recent episode of Talking Hope for more on young people, schools and wellbeing.

Well that was Wild!
Wild HOPE was 12 days with a bunch of passionate young adults, most of whom have had no missional experiences before. They stepped up to be equipped and empowered and then stepped out for eight days of crazy Holy Spirit-filled mission in Leeds, Bedford, Cambridge and Cornwall. They saw so many things; healings, salvation, restoration and so much more! This has truly brought Wild HOPE to the UK, we are excited about the future.

This summer's challenge
We are combining our love of prayer and the good old Summer Holidays with 21 Places to Pray. A fun summer challenge for all the family. Can we pray in 21 different places? Our OIKOS prayer app is filling up nicely and registering your walks. The biggest gaps are in holiday areas like Wales, Scotland, Devon and East Anglia...what an opportunity to walk and pray! We have plenty of inspiration in our Hope For Every Home prayer walking resources and in our last two Talking Hope specials featuring Revd Dr Frog Ewing talking about the unique ways we can experience prayer walking locally and while away.

Some more things to get involved in
Join as we gather people who are pioneering new ways to connect with wider communities: elderly people, people living with disabilities and those on the fringe of church life, across a variety of settings, with the latest installment of our Edging into Hybrid Church webinar.
SIGN UP
Your Wellbeing Journey is our recently launched 40-page booklet, a great conversation starter on God’s plan for our wellbeing and the relevant topic of health. It helps people understand that God cares about them and their wellbeing. A stand alone gift, the booklet explores holistic wellness: body, mind and spirit and leads nicely on to The Wellbeing Journey.
PICK IT UP IN THE SHOP
Over the next couple of weeks on social media we are looking at the Bible as we anticipate reflection and reading over the summer holidays and thoughts on how to share with congregations and communities in the autumn. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
