More than a name, Emmanuel is a declaration of heaven meeting Earth: God with us in despair, struggle, and brokenness.

When we approach God with our dreams and desires, we often focus on what we don’t have. We tell Him we could do more if He’d give us more skills or resources. We compare what we’ve been given to the gifts of others. And often, our patient Father responds with an unexpected question: What’s in your hands?

Uncover the forces that undermine our unity in Christ; discover practical recommendations to combat division; and explore how collaboration and generosity increase our Kingdom impact.
In today’s world, the topic of diversity is messy, difficult, and often divisive. In this five-day study, we explore what the Bible says about the subject, from celebrating our diversity of talents to the grand vision of every tribe, tongue, and nation joining together to worship God. Written by HOPE staff, this study draws on our experience working across multiple countries and cultures.
In this five-day reading plan, discover why Christian innovation is not simply a human effort to improve or create new value.

To innovate, Christians follow the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to better serve others, point people to Christ, and steward what God has given us to restore this world to Him, for His glory.
Followers of Christ are called to be and make disciples, but it’s not always easy to know what that looks like in the day-to-day of our busy lives. This study shares tips on integrating Christ into your personal life, family, church, or work. It’s based on the lessons learned by HOPE, as we’ve studied Scripture and implemented discipleship efforts in our own lives and in the field.
In a world that can seem meaningless at times—especially in midlife—God offers perspective that anchors us, renews us, and propels us into fulfillment, mission, and service. Drawing on the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, HOPE International President Peter Greer and Willowdale Chapel Senior Pastor Greg Lafferty offer insight for fresh clarity and purpose.
With over 2,000 verses about poverty, the Bible reveals God’s heart for those in need—and His call for Christ followers to walk with them. This five-day reading plan offers a biblical perspective, broadening our definition of poverty and laying a solid groundwork for responding with loving action.
