I’m blessed to talk to Sydney through the airwaves on the weekend, as well as helping create amazing videos which share the impact that God’s love has had on people’s lives. And, this family gets to share the love of God with the world. I consider myself the luckiest person in the world to be a part of this ministry,” Georgia – Announcer
“At Hope, what we do matters and has an eternal impact. Every dollar I can help bring in goes to reaching people with an experience of God’s love. God uses our ministry to reach people where they’re at — at home, in the car, the office or even on the run; we get to remind people they are loved, valued and matter to God! And…we get paid to do it! I love my job!” Travis – Sponsorship Sales Account Manager
