The Virginia Conference has set a goal for all faith communities: to excel in worship, stewardship, evangelism, discipleship, and mission. Initiatives of Hope touches all these areas by offering faith communities in Brazil, Mozambique, and the United States ways of interacting and communicating with each other as instruments of grace to further this goal.
You — and your congregation — can get involved in a variety of ways. Initiatives of Hope has created this website as a resource for involvement in IOH. Click on Mozambique or Brazil to explore ways to join this connectional — and mutual — ministry.
‘Mission,’ as a lifestyle, is one in which we participate in God’s mission of grace and reconciliation, not just on specially designated “mission trips.” Cultivating a mission-focused church revitalizes the congregation. You are welcome to use our Mission, Worship, and Education Resources as materials in teaching the theology of mission and what ‘being missional’ means in Christian education classes, as well as in church programming and worship. Many of these resources were contributed by our partners in Mozambique and Brazil.
