We’ve known for years the vision God gave us wasn’t just for one community, but for many across Sub-Saharan Africa. We’ve been praying and planning for how to expand, knowing it would take collaboration to make it happen.

We’re overjoyed to share through much prayer and Spirit-led conversation, Hope Africa Collective is stepping into a powerful new partnership with Living Hope – a like-minded, Kingdom-focused organization that shares our heart to see lives transformed through holistic development and discipleship. Living Hope brings 25 years of experience, with over 223 staff across soon to be 10 locations in South Africa – and now, they’ll be helping steward the growth of our socioeconomic development programs.

What’s Changing?

With this partnership:

• Living Hope will begin managing Hope Africa Collective’s Socio-Economic Development (SED) programs, including Life Direction, Trade Skills, and the Hair & Beauty Program.
  
• These programs will continue using Hope Africa’s copyrighted curriculum, now licensed with potential impact across Living Hope’s locations – greatly expanding the reach and fruit of these efforts. Hope Africa Collective will continue to develop, distribute and train facilitators across these locations as well other organizations across Sub-Saharan Africa.
  
• Hope Africa Collective will continue leading all spiritual formation initiatives to equip and strengthen the local church. These programs include EQUIP, Indyebo Theological Training, Khwezela Youth Network, Pastoral monthly leadership gatherings, Women’s ministry event seminars and conferences.

How These Changes Align with Our Long-Term Vision:

• Succession Planning & Sustainability –
  Our dream has always been for the work in Philippi to be locally led, locally sustained, and culturally relevant. This is a major step forward. It also moves us closer to our goal of empowering South African leaders.
• Expanding Hope Africa Collective’s Work and Reach –
  Through this partnership, our curriculum can now grow beyond the township of Philippi – leveraging Living Hope’s people, systems, and locations. Meanwhile, Hope Africa Collective can sharpen focus on strengthening and expanding our spiritual formation programs and theological training across South Africa and the continent.

This collaboration is more than sharing resources—it’s an answered prayer.

This partnership is built on Kingdom alignment and shared vision, that will multiply impact and transform more lives across Sub-Saharan Africa.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

Ephesians 3:20

We remain committed to the mission God placed in our hearts: to bring hope, dignity, purpose, and transformation. Now, through this collaboration, the seeds you’ve sown into Hope Africa Collective are poised to bear even more fruit.

We’re excited and trusting God with every detail as we begin this partnership.

We know you may have questions, and that’s good. In the next few days, we will share some answers to common questions about what this means and what’s ahead.

You are a vital part of this journey. Thank you for believing and investing in this ministry, praying alongside us, and walking faithfully into this next chapter.

In faith,

Hope Africa Collective ❤️
