Sharing God’s love and hope in Lincoln and across the world. Committed to doing whatever it takes to save a life . Welcome to disciples of hope ,where life begins and love never ends. Telling stories that make a difference.
Our first focus is serving people and families in Lincoln and communities across the United States. We build hope, strengthen relationships, and help people find purpose through faith, compassionate listening, and meaningful service.
We also continue our ministry in Africa, including supporting churches, sharing the Gospel, and serving people in underserved communities.
We want every person to have a place to be heard, find support, and take meaningful steps toward a hopeful future.
Help teenagers spend less time on screens and more time growing, serving, and building relationships through church and community.
Encourage people facing drug, alcohol, or pornography addiction to pursue lasting change, and stand alongside the families affected. We aim to connect people with trusted help when needed.
Walk with people carrying guilt, shame, anger, fear, or hopelessness as they rebuild their lives and rediscover purpose.
Encourage caring, committed family relationships and help households move beyond simply sharing a home toward genuine connection and support.
Offer a welcoming place for people facing loneliness after a death, divorce, relocation, or other life change to talk and be heard with love and compassion.
Promote integrity in our homes, churches, and workplaces, and connect people who want to serve together and make a positive difference in the world.
Jesus is the Head of the Church, and all that we do is guided by the will of God through the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:22–23).
Love is at the heart of who God is. We reflect this love by serving others sacrificially, just as Christ served us (John 3:16).
We carry confident expectation and trust in God, even when the path ahead is not visible.
We walk by faith, trusting God’s promises, not merely what we can see (2 Corinthians 5:7).
We proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and establish strong, indigenous communities of believers.
Growing up in the Rift Valley of Kenya, East Africa, I had to walk over an hour just to reach a place of worship. Along the way, we faced real dangers—encounters with deadly wildlife such as pythons, lions, and elephants, as well as the risk of speeding vehicles.
One morning on our way to church, I lost a childhood friend who was bitten by a black mamba and died before reaching the hospital. Another close friend was killed instantly by a speeding hit-and-run driver while we helplessly watched. These were children I grew up with—we attended the same school and worshiped together until their lives were cut short.
On another occasion, we encountered two massive pythons along our path. By God’s grace, wildlife rangers arrived and safely returned them to the wilderness. Many children, both then and now, fear traveling to church or school because of these dangers.
No one should be afraid to go to church or school. These experiences remain part of why Disciples of Hope International Ministry exists to serve people. In Africa, we work to bring churches closer to rural and remote communities, making faith accessible to all.
For over ten years, by the grace of God, we have built churches in underserved regions. We are committed to expanding this work across the continent, ensuring people can safely and easily access places of worship.
Alongside our growing focus on Lincoln and communities across America, our work in Africa includes sharing the Gospel in prisons and providing Bibles and religious materials. We also encourage children and teenagers to take part in faith-based, community, and outreach activities.
