HOPEPAGE

NOVEMBER 2022

Celebrating God's Work in the Lives of Young People through YOUR Prayers & Giving!

In Her Own Words

“Thank you so much!! You just gave me HOPE!”

Ara was feeling overwhelmed by guilt. She had fallen in love with a fellow student in medical school and, against her Hindu religion, had become intimately involved with him. She thought they would be married. He didn’t feel the same.

“Obviously I was way more connected to him than he was to me. I’m just destroyed that I made such wrong decisions in this relationship and abandoned my morals by being too close with him.

“Now I’m failing my exams. I can’t think of anything else. It’s killing me.

“I need hope so badly. I sit in front of my gods and pray, and nothing happens. I feel nothing but despair.”

Our Hope Coach told Ara about Jesus and His love. Ara learned that her guilt and shame, the mistakes she made ... and will make ... were covered by Christ on the cross.

“I still can’t believe that God could accept me. But rather than doubt, I choose prayer. I will ask God for help,” Ara said.

The two prayed together and Ara was provided with Scripture and many resources to help her learn more about Christ and the promises of the Bible.

“Thank you so much!!” Ara replied. “You just gave me hope!”

Every single day, you help us shine the light of Jesus Christ into the darkness of this world. Thank you for responding as generously as possible today to keep us reaching, rescuing, and restoring students and young adults!

New and Now: Live Chat with a Hope Coach 24/7!

Praise God ... and thank you!

We’re pleased to announce the expansion of our live chat Hope Coaching, now available 24/7 no matter where you are in the world. That means help and hope in the name of Jesus is now available around the clock, across the globe. To God be the glory!

It’s been five years since we were last able to offer 24/7 chat services. Since that time, we have been carefully expanding our hours — and training an amazing team of Hope Coaches in order to relaunch this amazing 24/7 outreach.

Hope Coach Highlights

• We now have well-trained, high-quality Hope Coaches in all four US mainland time zones, plus Hawaii, Poland, and South Africa.

• Our technology was upgraded to accommodate Hope Coaches and receive chats from around the world.

• We added strong supervision for every shift, to make sure our Hope Coaches are well supported, and our level of care is consistent and strong.

• Additionally, we made important improvements to our Hope Coach training and continuing education, to ensure our dedicated Coaches are equipped to handle every situation, no matter how difficult or desperate.

Serving as a Hope Coach is not easy work. These are people who have a special calling to serve the broken and lost. They need the Holy Spirit to fill them with compassion, humility, and the love of Christ. They also need prayers of protection over them and their families.

Please pray for our Hope Coach staff and for our live chat outreach — may God bless our efforts to reach the next generation with His love!

NEW! TheHopeLine Chat Video

Georgia couldn’t handle it one more day, so she searched Google for help and found TheHopeLine.com. She started a chat and got right to the point: “Can I talk about my depression and anxiety after a sexual assault?”

Because of your support, you are bringing about chat conversations that can change a young person’s life now and for eternity!
