Empowering Communities with Hope
Building the Kingdom through direct immigration services and the equipping of local churches.
introduction
C.S. Lewis wrote: "There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations–these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit–immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously–-no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner–no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses."
Our neighbor is of infinite value, and God has called us to love our neighbor as ourselves. The only higher command is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Often, the way we are called to love the Lord our God is through our active love for our neighbor.
The Apostle Paul put it this way: “for you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Galatians 5:13-15)
Growing out of two decades of cross-cultural, bilingual marriage within the largest immigrant metro area in the United States, Word of Hope inc is our answer to the Lord’s call to seek first His Kingdom and its righteousness by serving our neighbors in love and encouraging the body of Christ to do the same.
Word of Hope Inc. will begin offering immigration legal services upon receipt of Recognition and Accreditation from the Department of Justice.
Word of Hope exists to build the Kingdom of God through direct immigration services and the equipping of local churches to meet the needs of migrants in their congregations and communities.
