"For I know the plans I have for you-this is the Lord's declaration-plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Hopeplanters is an international ministry designed to help the needs of those less fortunate and those in spiritual as well as physical need. It's hard to tell a person that Jesus loves them when they need something to eat and you can supply it, but you will not!
Hopeplanters has only been in existence for a short time but through God's help and his design the plan is to stay in existence as long as the Lord needs Hopeplanters! In the next decade we will attempt to infuse the world with the spirit of hope, help and giving. Look around you the world is not in short supply of people that are in need, the list is large and growing everyday. If we can plant hope in the young that the love of Christ and education can go hand in hand, we can plant "Vineyards of Hope" in areas where we never would have thought that hope would grow!
When David stated in Psalms 23, "The Lord is my Shephard, I shall not want!" I believe he was letting us know that first of all I'm going to start this psalm that way because with me following the Lord while he leads, no matter if it looks like I'm in lack, I'm not because whatever I need, in every situation, I already have, because "The Provider" is my Shephard"!
I have hope in the future you will partner with Hopeplanters on our mission to follow Jesus and be the disciples we were born to be and follow the great commission while we make disciples!
