Mission of Hope
Mission of Hope was founded in 1998 by Brad and Vanessa Johnson. What started as a small mission located on a barren piece of land in Haiti has since grown into a multinational organization, with campuses across Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Click Here to watch the Founders Story.
Mission of Hope is a faith-based organization that seeks life transformation for every man, woman, and child in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Mission of Hope works alongside local leaders in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to transform lives through church advancement, education, and food security.

Make a difference in a child’s life — a child who is in need of hope. A sponsorship will provide a child in need with a Christ-centered education, daily nutritious meal at school, and hope. This provides an opportunity to build a personal relationship with the student through letters.

The program helps to identify gaps in community services to the disadvantaged and help churches organize and develop ways to bridge those gaps. Volunteers are trained to verify the legitimacy of their needs and locate resources to meet the need.
Disadvantaged individuals and families have access to programs and church ministries such as the Love INC Emergency Housing Program, Clothes for Kids, Project School Supply, a food pantry, a household items ministry, a gently-used furniture ministry and much more.
Love INC provides financial aid referrals for rent, utilities, or other verifiable needs which are not being met by existing community agencies.

Nate and Rachelle Dell
The Dells are returning to live and work among the Waorani people in Ecuador, South America where they first began their missionary work in 1999. Rachelle, a missionary kid, grew up among the tribe and that kinship relationship with the tribe has maintained open doors to come alongside the work of the Waorani church and allowed Nate to use his practical vocational skills to assist the tribe.
A long illness sidelined Rachelle for many years as Nate continued to lead short-term work and medical teams around the world for Reach Beyond. Rachelle’s renewed health has allowed them to step back into alignment with their hearts for the Waorani tribe once again.
Dells serve under Paraclete Mission Group.
