<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 />
