"So that the Word of God may run and be glorified." -- II Thesalonians 3:1 Missions of Hope exists to commission and send missionaries and to keep missionaries sent. As a missionary cover organization for domestic and international missionaries, we work in collaboration with churches, dioceses, religious congregations, and lay movements to create and support missionary endeavors. While we focus on long-term missions we believe that there is great value in offering young adults the ability to experience the missionary lifestyle through short-term missionary endeavors in hopes that they will be inspired to give their lives to Christ in service to Him and the proclamation of the Gospel. Missionary cooperation, called for by Vatican II, emphasizes the importance of lay people and organizations working together to make world missions more effective and more efficient. Missionaries join Missions of Hope and adhere to our Code of Christian Conduct, entering the mission field in total freedom to serve the Body of Christ in the areas where they can be of greatest use. Missions of Hope gives missionaries the support they need to serve without apprehension. We also provide the organizations that we collaborate with the access to young, energetic, and faithful missionaries who are able to support themselves and maintain their autonomy.
