Hope can’t wait for Aubrey and her daughters. “When people hear that I need a place to live, they are quick to say, ‘I hope you find something soon.’ But that doesn’t feel like hope to me. I need hope with some feet.”

Those words — hope with some feet — capture the heart of Bridge of Hope.

We invite you to consider our Becoming the Neighbors the World Needs Bible Reading Plan for use in your church congregation!

God’s heart for loving our neighbors is unmistakable – we are called to move toward one another in love. This Bible Reading Plan awakens that call, opening our eyes to the neighbors God sees and inviting churches into the relationships that transform and restore community.

The Plan is available on our website: https://bridgeofhopeinc.org/get-involved/church-resources/

“Our congregation recently concluded using the Bridge of Hope Bible Reading Plan, “Becoming the Neighbors the World Needs.” The members of the study group were engaged, interested, and inspired, as we considered steadfast love, being a neighbor and God’s calling. People said that it was `interesting, worthy of the time, and compelling.` Much appreciated!”

Member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, York, PA

“He is not here; He has risen!"
