Hope 2023-24 is a call to us all to offer again the Hope of Jesus Christ to everyone in the UK
The big question that resonated with the UK in the Talking Jesus research 2022 was “Will everything be ok?”
We know that we have hope in times of uncertainty...
We want to invite you to partner with us in a year of mission from September 2023 - August 2024.
The goal for the year is to bring churches together reaching out in refreshed, renewed mission and evangelism in towns, villages and cities; all of us coming together under the umbrella of the word Hope - our prayer is everyone, everywhere knowing Jesus.
Why now?
We recognise the period of history that we are living through has been traumatic for all those in and outside of the Church - and we see that God is calling us to work together, to reach out with one voice and one heart - one Church showing and proclaiming the love and message of Jesus.
Who is it for?
Everyone! This is for every generation in the church across denominations. The experienced will bring their wisdom and knowledge. The new generation in our churches who have not experienced a national mission initiative are ready to step up and begin. We want to work with them to enable and enthuse them in evangelism and mission. This is for the whole church to get involved!
Hope 2023-24 targets
-
We want to see people come to faith.
-
We would love to see every denomination and network being a part of this.
-
We want to see church leaders and ministries working together. We are looking for at least 1,500 areas to join Hope 2023-24.

"Two major precursors to the revival we desire are prayer and the unity of the church. As patron of Hope, I believe 2023-24 will be significant in the purposes of God to unite us to serve our communities."
