<strong>HOPE</strong> brings so much creativity to<br />

the mission of the Church. I hope this<br />

book will help to kindle fresh ideas<br />

and effective action as we continue<br />

to grow healthy churches that<br />

love and serve their<br />

communities.<br />

God is building his Church.<br />

It has been amazing to see how he has<br />

fanned into flame an idea that began<br />

over a cup of coffee to help his<br />

Church make a difference in<br />

communities throughout the country.<br />

This book will help many more<br />

churches catch the vision.<br />

‘Here’s Hope’ captures so much of what<br />

God has achieved through <strong>HOPE</strong> over the last<br />

decade. Packed with stories of local churches<br />

responding to the needs of their communities in<br />

wonderfully creative and inspiring ways, while<br />

reflecting on lessons learnt and biblical principles which<br />

should be followed. Roy Crowne’s Holy Spirit-inspired<br />

leadership has enabled this relatively small organisation<br />

to have an influence way beyond its size. As Rachel<br />

Jordan-Wolf takes over the leadership of <strong>HOPE</strong> in the UK<br />

and Roy sets his sights on other nations, I watch with<br />

anticipation of what God has in store.<br />

Having served at <strong>HOPE</strong><br />

Together over the years Roy Crowne<br />

has garnered so much knowledge and<br />

information about how the Church can serve<br />

together to make Jesus known. In this book he<br />

shares some of his wealth of information making it<br />

such a valuable resource for anyone who wants<br />

to touch a hurting world with the love of Christ.<br />

I find Roy’s commitment and dedication to<br />

the mission of making Jesus known<br />

very inspirational.<br />

I’m hugely grateful<br />

to Roy personally for mentoring<br />

me in my early days at YFC and for<br />

his continued input today. Speaking<br />

on behalf of many churches throughout the<br />

UK, we are profoundly grateful to him for<br />

building a ministry in <strong>HOPE</strong> Together<br />

that has had a significant and lasting<br />

impact on the Church.<br />

Roy and I share a passion to see<br />

the gospel shared. When we<br />

dreamed about churches doing more,<br />

doing it together and doing it with<br />

words and action, Roy was our first<br />

and only choice to take it forward.<br />

I’m thrilled to see what God has<br />

done and continues to do<br />

through <strong>HOPE</strong> Together.<br />
