What draws me to Hope? 

I believe that serving others should reflect the heart of Christ—full of love and putting others first. From my research, I can see that HOPE comes alongside individuals and families, offering not just resources, but the message of Jesus. That reflects the kind of impact I deeply desire to be part of.

In the events industry, I’ve explored many organizations where I would be a light in the darkness. However, their missions and goals do not align with mine. With HOPE, there is a shared foundation that would strengthen my walk with the Lord and allow me to use the gifts I’ve been given to further share the love of Christ with others.

HOPE International’s mission resonates deeply with my calling to serve others in a Christ-centered way and to be His hands and feet as we work to glorify the Lord together. I’m passionate about hospitality and love creating meaningful, welcoming spaces that reflect God’s heart—something I believe aligns with your mission. As someone actively growing in my faith, I’m drawn to HOPE’s commitment to discipleship, dignity, and eternal impact. It would be a true honor to use my creativity and relational gifts to support and further this Kingdom-minded work.

In The Gospel Comes with a House Key, Rosaria Butterfield paints a vision of hospitality that is radically Gospel-centered—one where homes become places of mission, and meals become moments of ministry. I see that vision way of living out the Great Commission. Jesus calls us to “go and make disciples of all nations,” and I believe one of the most powerful ways to do that is by creating spaces—whether in a home, a community, or an event—where people experience the love of Christ in real, relational ways. HOPE International lives this out globally: empowering families, restoring dignity, and opening doors for the Gospel through acts of service and presence. I long to be a part of that mission, using hospitality not just as a gift, but as a tool for the great commission.
