Living Hope DVD

Living Hope is a powerful story about three incredible people who chose to give up all of the creature comforts of their home and journey to South Africa to help and serve the poor and the sick. Following the lives of John Thomas, Leonie Rustin, and Joey Lankford, you will see the absolutely devastating state of places in Africa and see how these people are using their skills and abilities to help serve these people with their medical needs. They realize that it is God's call on their life to go to these places and help the people who are sick and dying. These people have no way out of their incredible struggle for survival, and they hope to help them with their medical skills and efforts.

Through their service, they are also able to communicate the importance of Jesus and tell them about His amazing sacrifice on the cross for their very lives. While their main purpose is a medical effort, they are able to use this unique situation to spread the love of God to those who may have never even heard His name spoken before. In Living Hope, you will learn about their story and see how three Christians have accepted God's call in their life and are using their abilities to serve in far-off countries and make His name known.

How You Can Help

One of the purposes of this movie is to ask for help. Living Hope is an amazing ministry that is making a difference in the world, but they can't do it alone. They need support, supplies, and even people to help them accomplish their goals. They want to grow and continue to do whatever God calls them to. They have a website devoted to their various projects and ministries and there you can find out how you can get involved as well.

Their ministry has five main areas in which you can help in the lives of others. First of all is volunteering. They are always accepting applications for people to come help them and volunteer to work with them. They always need prayer as well. Prayer is a key tool in any venture or ministry and is vital to the success of any operation. They ask that you help them in their endeavor by praying to God for their blessing and ability to support the people around them. They will also always accept financial donations. Like any other operation, they have costs and they need help to stay afloat so they can continue to do what they do.

Living Hope ministries sends out mission teams as well to various parts of the continent of Africa and you can get involved in this ministry as well. If you feel called to serve on a mission team, you can be very effective in this area. Finally, they offer a variety of careers for people looking to make this ministry a full-time job. These are all important parts of running a ministry and in this movie, you will see how several lives have been impacted and called by God to devote their lives to helping others.

Conclusion

Living Hope is an exciting film that documents very real things that are happening in our world today. While it's easy to be discouraged by the lack of missions work or our seeming ineffectiveness in reaching the world at large with our message of Christianity. But Living Hope is a wonderful reminder that there truly are people making a difference in the world today. This inspiring movie will not only encourage you, but hopefully motivate you to find ways that you can serve as well in your own community or in another part of the world.
