In Crisis Is Great Opportunity

At this year’s HOPE worldwide Global Summit, Ralph Boyd, Executive Vice President of Community Relations and Chairman and CEO of the Freddie Mac Foundation gave a sobering assessment of the needs within our communities when he stated, “The element of our changing world that is so jarring, especially for Americans, is that suddenly abundant need is very visible to us. It is all around us. It has become concrete and for many it’s no longer about someone else in a faraway place…It’s not about a someplace that is not visible to all Americans like Appalachia or East St. Louis, Illinois or South Central Los Angeles. It’s about us. Right here, right now in our own communities and increasingly in our own neighborhoods. In other words, it has become no longer a ‘them thing’ it is now an ‘us too thing.’”

One Heart to Make a Difference

June 20 – July 4, 2009 was a life-changing two weeks for 17 NTU Hall of Residence X students. Having “One Heart to Make a Difference” was what bound 17 different and diverse teenagers on a mission: to make a difference in Indonesia one way or another. Armed with mediocre practical skills for the physical jobs they were supposed to perform, but with a strong desire to complete what they set out to do, they managed to pull through our tasks.

United We Stand... As Chapters!

The HOPE worldwide U.S. Chapter Model has officially rolled out across the United States, and might I say - at the perfect time for our country. Over the last year, a bold change has occurred in the way Americans serve, with a rekindled focus on unity. Putting the independent spirit of service aside, baby boomers, generation x, generation y and the spirited millennial generation have decided to come together in hopes to bring about true changes in the way of service. And who is a better model of this than the church!
