Support our Ministry
Our ministry in South Africa will be funded by gifts from friends and churches (these gifts will be tax deductible). If you would like to support us in this way, we’d greatly appreciate it. Our biggest financial need is committed regular giving, even in small amounts. Most of all though, we ask you to pray for us as we plan and prepare to minister in South Africa. Thank-you very much!
Our ministry support is handled by Shepherds’ Staff Mission Facilitators. Shepherds’ Staff is a ministry which comes alongside local churches and enables them to send out missionaries by taking care of the many administrative aspects involved and offering their counsel and support wherever needed. You can learn more about them here. We are grateful for their ministry!

Fundraisers
A number of volunteers have put on and/or are working on fundraisers for 1Hope - in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Delaware, South Africa, and Germany! It’s very encouraging, and we’re very thankful for their efforts. Fundraisers so far include pancake sales, cookie-dough sales, soup sales, craft fairs, photography fundraisers, calligraphy fundraisers, selling tupperware, movie nights, and music shows…
If you (or you and a few friends/ your church’s youth group, etc) would like to put on your own fundraisers for 1Hope, we’d welcome it! :) Here are a few more ideas: selling home-made cookies, sports tournaments with an entry fee (volleyball, soccer (3 on 3 perhaps?), basketball, ultimate frisbee, etc), putting on car washes, making and selling bracelets, yard/garage sales, etc… Please let us know if you’re interested in helping in this way!
