HOPE Silicon Valley and HOPE Global: Transforming Lives.
The HOPE Silicon Valley 2024 event was a tremendous blessing to many students and families in our community. Both kids and families said how grateful they were for the support and back-to-school materials they received.
Several volunteers and doctors who helped for the first time said how moved they were by our church's commitment to those in our community who are in need. Each summer, HOPE Silicon Valley provides backpacks, haircuts, basic health check-ups, and food and drinks—all free. Offering much-needed assistance to students and their families, this help from the church eases the financial burden on families as the new school year approaches.
HOPE Global also experienced a remarkable success this year.
At HOPE Naga, working with our mission partner, at least 24 students gave their lives to Christ, marking a profound spiritual impact.
At HOPE India, we worked with our mission partner to provide 100 families with free educational materials and flour, bringing hope and health to their lives. 
At HOPE Nepal, our partners expected to serve 20 kids at the event, but an astounding 49 attended, highlighting the growing need for our help. 
At HOPE Jucuaran, our mission partner reached 400 students at a local school. The school was so impressed with the event that they asked us to return next year, recognizing the positive influence that our efforts had on their students.
These events echo the words and vision of Jesus in Matthew 25:45-46: "Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
These words of Matthew remind us that how we treat others reflects our love and service to Christ Himself. The success of HOPE Silicon Valley and HOPE Global shows the importance of how our shared mission brings meaningful change both locally and globally.
