Bringing Hope in Desperate Times

"Sometimes the buses are too full..."
Volunteer Ben Gurrentz on his experiences at Camp Miracles

The current economic crisis means HOPE worldwide is becoming the safety net for so many in need. As a result, we are forced to do more with less.

At Camp Miracles, which helps children from Philadelphia's most dangerous inner city neighborhoods, buses are in short supply. Our staff and volunteers are stretched to the limit.

They Had Everything in Common

If New Testament history repeats itself, the Greater Houston Church is about to have a real growth spurt. Just like the conditions of the early church that we read about in Acts 2, the challenging living circumstances created by Hurricane Ike have caused the members of the Houston Church to band together for survival. In the aftermath of the hurricane, Christians are staying in each others' homes, sharing food, borrowing each others' generators and tools and experiencing unusually close fellowship.
