Kirk Nowery, President of Hope Partners International, was first called into the work of caring for the suffering and abandoned back in the early ’90s in Albania and East Africa. Since then, God has used him in many roles to share the truth and call people to follow Jesus with their whole lives. Kirk was part of the team that established Hope Partners in 2011 and has done whatever was needed to step through each door God opened for the organization.

Alongside him, Violeta has also done whatever was needed, from designing buildings to establishing and managing the sponsorship program and caring for children and staff. Through seasons of challenge and uncertainty, they have remained faithful to the calling placed on their lives. God has used this couple in powerful ways to help establish and grow the ministry of Hope Partners.
