HOPE2 — Organization Profile
HOPE2 is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Muncie, Indiana, serving internationally through mission trips, long-term local partnerships, pastoral training, education, medical care, agriculture, and safe water initiatives. Its public theme is “Ministry is never bigger than the ONE person in front of you,” emphasizing personal relationships and gospel-centered service.
The organization’s core focus is sharing the love of Christ through practical care, relationship-building, and gospel witness among communities with urgent physical and spiritual needs. HOPE2 states that when God says “go,” it goes, and when God says “put down roots,” it puts down roots. Its mission is shaped by the Great Commission and by the belief that educational, medical, relational, and practical ministry should lift high the name of Christ.
HOPE2 serves from Muncie, Indiana, with home bases in Liberia and Uganda. The ministry has also taken teams or sent resources to places such as Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Thailand, Kenya, and Honduras. In Liberia, HOPE2 has a Liberian-staffed school, clinic, and church, along with the Hope Center campus. In Uganda, the ministry is developing a Hope Center as roots are being established there.
The organization operates through several connected ministry areas. Its water work distributes safe water filtration systems and supports wells and water projects. Its education work includes Hope Academy in Liberia, teacher training, and ministry to children and youth. Its medical work addresses simple but serious needs such as malaria, parasites, and basic community healthcare. Its agriculture work includes Farming God’s Way training, helping communities learn to grow food and develop sustainable practices.
A distinctive part of HOPE2’s work is combining safe water, education, medical care, agriculture, pastoral training, and mission-team service as avenues for long-term relationships and gospel ministry. Since 2006, HOPE2 has trained pastors in Africa, and its 54TEN initiative aims to conduct pastoral training in all 54 African countries over 10 years. The ministry describes training leaders as another way of “watering the thirsty” by strengthening those who are helping others.
People can engage with HOPE2 by giving financially, donating physical items, joining a mission trip, subscribing to updates, praying, attending events, using the For Reel virtual mission trip, or inviting HOPE2 to speak. Mission teams may distribute water filtration systems, invest in children, teach doctrinal truths to church and community leaders, and serve local people in Liberia, Uganda, and other places where the ministry is invited to go.

COPE Ministry — Organization Profile
COPE Ministry, formally Children of Pokot Educational Fund, is a Christian mission serving Pokot children and families in Kenya. The ministry’s mission is to provide education for Pokot children by empowering Christians and their community to nurture children spiritually, mentally, and physically so they can grow into local and national leaders who think and act from a Christian worldview.
COPE’s U.S. mailing address is Lincoln, Illinois, and its African mission is located in Tapadany, Pokot, Kenya, serving the West Pokot region of Kenya. The organization states that it does not operate from a physical U.S. office; instead, volunteers and board members support the ministry remotely while mission work continues through local employees and leaders in Kenya.
The ministry began after Paul and Mary Boatman visited Pokot in 1995 and saw the need for basic education among children from the nomadic Pokot tribe. Barbara O’Donohue later helped establish the nonprofit in 1997 to fund Tapadany Christian Academy. What began as a small school has grown into Tapadany Christian Academy, COPE House, a feeding program, medical care, evangelism, and community outreach projects.
Education remains central to COPE’s work. Tapadany Christian Academy began with a preschool and now serves hundreds of students through primary grades. The school provides classroom instruction, Christian Religious Education, worship assemblies, a library, play space, and two meals each school day for students and employees. COPE describes the school as both an education ministry and a Christian outreach arm into the Pokot community, since children share what they learn with their families.
COPE’s evangelism and outreach ministries include Sunday worship, women’s Bible study, individual witness, parent prayer days, the Jesus Film, and weeklong teaching events for boys and girls. Its community programs include COPE House for children in need, Good Samaritan sponsorships, relief food, clean water, medical care, a bakery, canteen, Farming God’s Way, sewing, and jewelry projects. These efforts respond to needs in an area with limited employment and limited access to education and medical care.
People can engage with COPE Ministry by giving financially, sponsoring a child through the Good Samaritan Program, joining the prayer team, receiving newsletters, volunteering with fundraising or marketing, inviting COPE representatives to visit a church or group, supporting relief or growth projects, or participating in mission opportunities such as the 2026 Medical Mission Trip. Donations may be made online or mailed to the Lincoln, Illinois address.
