MISSION Opportunities
Nothing fuels compassion and generosity like face to face missions. In the faces of those who are less fortunate we see the grace of God and the best of who we are. God calls us to share the light of Jesus with others by meeting real needs – here, there, and everywhere! Find out more below, contact the leader, and get involved.

Christmas for Cameroon
Hope Church illustrates God in the African country of Cameroon. We offer toys and hygiene products to children who are living in orphanages. Many of these children either have never received a gift or only receive a gift at Christmas when we bring them. Emmanuel and Evodia Fonji, natives of Cameroon, lead this effort each year. The primary giving efforts happens with our Christmas in July campaign and the gifts are delivered in December through a small mission team.
