As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reflecting on our blessings and want to say thank you. 💙 Thank you for giving, praying, deploying, and believing in the power of hope as we've served around the world.
From the wildfires in California to the devastation left by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, millions have faced unimaginable loss this year. We’ve been honored to deploy teams across the globe, yet there is still more work to do and more hope to bring.
Here’s a look at our November happenings—what we’ve been doing and how to join us in the work ahead. |
Our teams have been on the ground in Jamaica, caring for and serving the people and ministries there. Recently in Montego Bay, our volunteers mucked out classrooms at Jacob’s Well Preschool, which had two feet of water from Hurricane Melissa. Jacob’s Well cares for over 80 children, ages 2–5, and we were honored to serve them as they care for their community. |
We also helped a local ministry caring for some of the most vulnerable—a home for differently-abled residents tucked quietly in the hills. A place of faithful, unseen work… now carrying the weight of significant storm damage. Our volunteers cleaned up debris and will continue helping communities like this in Jamaica. |
|
Stateside, November began with our team serving survivors of Hurricane Helene, who are still recovering from last October's storm.
In Nashville, TN, we partnered with Solomon Builders to frame three prefabricated homes that were sent to Douglas, GA, and erected within days. |
Working alongside The Hope Initiative, these homes are giving families who lost everything a chance to start over. Disaster recovery takes time, and we're excited to see survivors finally get the safe shelters they deserve. |
|
We continue to pray for survivors in Haiti as they recover from deadly flooding caused by Hurricane Melissa’s torrential rains. Disasters like this always amplify the chronic need in Haiti, and survivors are struggling again to recover. |
Please pray for the crucial work of providing food, education, and hope to those in need. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to provide 150 survivors with life-saving supplies. Supplies must come from far away, and time is critical. You can help make a difference this month when you give.

In 2022, tornadoes devastated Seminole, Oklahoma, leaving many families without the resources to rebuild and live in a safe home.
One family of seven, including two children with special needs, was living in a condemned, damaged home. Under the direction of our Seminole director, Brian Wagner, we were honored to spend the past year building them a brand new Hope Home, completed this past week. 🙌 |

We just completed the HVAC install, and this home also has a wheelchair ramp and swing set in the backyard to meet this family's needs for years to come. We could not have done this without the MANY volunteers who gave their time, resources, and love to create this home and restore hope to this family. 🙏 Thank you to all who gave, prayed, and deployed with us to Seminole—hope is restored because of you! |
With numerous needs around the world, your support is crucial. Giving Tuesday is just around the corner on December 2nd, and your gift to Hope Force can be doubled through our $50,000 matching challenge.
Together, we can bring hope to survivors. Please consider giving this season!
