CHILDREN OF HOPE
2024 – A year of transformation and a future filled with HOPE
Guided by God’s hand, Hope Partners has rescued children and transformed lives, thanks to your generous support. We share these stories of renewal and hope, achieved together — a journey impossible without you.
Dear friends and partners
I recently came across this captivating quotation:
“It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”
Think about that. We will come back to that thought in just a bit.
I write this letter on November 25th, just 30 days from Christmas. Another year is drawing to a close, and it seems this one has gone by faster than any other in my lifetime! Perhaps you feel the same.
Looking back over all that has happened in the ministry of Hope Partners in 2024, I am amazed and so very grateful. Hundreds of children have been transformed in Jesus’ name—girls and boys from leper colonies, human trafficking villages, and scores of other places of desperate poverty. In the safe embrace of our Hope Centers they have been fed, clothed, educated, truly loved, and nurtured in the Gospel.
We never tire of reading the words of Jesus: “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these…you did it to me.”
This is what drives us every day: to rescue “the least of these” from the most difficult places and give them hope for the first time in their lives. What a worthy cause!
We will begin the new year with 12 Hope Centers in 7 countries on 5 continents. Altogether we are caring for nearly 2,000 children worldwide. This simply wouldn’t be possible without your faithful generosity.
Through the videos we’ve produced throughout this year we have tried to give you an up close and personal look at the remarkable stories of rescue and transformation. Thank you for being watchful and prayerful with us.
For this final stretch of the year we have been blessed with the offer of a matching gift. This means that every gift you give will be doubled. Your generosity will have twice the power to sponsor children, build and improve facilities, support our team members, and facilitate more rescues.
Every gift makes a difference. And for this short season, every gift will make even more of a difference.
Remember that quotation at the start of this letter? Here it is again:
“It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”
Think back over the months of 2024. Who did you want to be as a giver this year? What impact did you want to make in helping to rescue children and transform their lives in Jesus’ name and through his power? If you haven’t yet realized what you desired, it isn’t too late! You can still make the difference you wanted to make. And precious lives will be touched as a result.
I want to thank you in advance for your Christ-like concern and your heartfelt generosity.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you on behalf of our entire team.
Always with Hope,
Kirk Nowery
Hope Partners is an International ministry with a simple mission:
To rescue children and transform their lives through acts of compassion in Jesus’ name.
How do we do it?
We create “centers of hope” in some of the most impoverished parts of the world to care for the most vulnerable among us.
A Hope Center is…
A place to learn and grow. It’s a place of joy and most importantly, it’s a place of HOPE.
Each of our Hope Centers is a home base for vulnerable children, providing them a safe place of refuge from abuse, drugs, and sex trafficking. In addition to safety, we provide consistent nutritious food, education through college or vocational school, and a path to hope for their future.
At the center of it all is the chance to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
More than a billion people worldwide call slums or informal settlements home.
These communities are often defined by hardship, but they are also where transformation begins.
we are blessed to share that soon we will have:
12 Hope Centers
in 7 Countries
across 5 Continents
Rescue is the first step
Together, we bring hope where it’s needed most.
In 2024, Hope Partners International continued to respond to urgent needs worldwide, reaching children and families through impactful programs. Our Hope Centers played a vital role in alleviating poverty, providing food to the hungry, and addressing the medical and dental needs of our children. Together, we empowered communities with resources and support, offering tangible expressions of God’s love.

Growth & Future Transformation
Costa Rica
A New Beginning in Costa Rica
If you haven’t already heard, we celebrated the grand opening of our new Hope Center in Pavas, San Jose, Costa Rica, on January 20 of this year. Serving over 600 children and adolescents, this expanded facility tackles critical needs like hunger, gang violence, and limited education in a community where only 20% graduate high school. More than a refuge, it’s a place where dreams are nurtured, futures are built, and the love of Jesus shines brightly.

Romania
A Growing Vision
This year, the construction of the Babadag Hope Center has made significant progress, but there’s still work to be done. The building will require additional funding to complete, and we are praying for the resources needed to open the doors by Spring 2025. When finished, this center will stand as a beacon of hope, offering children the support they need to thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Meanwhile, our Hope Center in Murfatlar has expanded its reach and is now serving 25 more children. This growth reflects our ongoing commitment to transforming lives across Romania, one child at a time.
How You Can Help
The new Hope Center in Babadag is funded entirely by donations. Your support makes it possible for us to provide essential care for children who would otherwise face hunger, neglect, and hopelessness. Together, we can bring the light of Christ into the darkest corners of poverty.
Donate Today to help us complete this life-changing project and expand our reach in Romania. Every contribution makes a difference, not only for the children we serve but also for the future of this community.

The Intern Journey: Future Leaders Answering the Call
This year, our extraordinary summer interns stepped into leadership roles that stretched them, challenged them, and transformed their faith. Whether leading activities at our Hope Centers, connecting with children, or supporting critical projects, they answered God’s call with dedication and embodied the mission of HOPE and transformation. Their journey reflects the heart of what it means to serve as the hands and feet of Christ.
Pictured here, these young leaders are more than just volunteers—they’re a generation of torchbearers, carrying the light of Christ into communities where it’s needed most. Their service didn’t just make an impact this summer; it planted seeds of faith and hope that will grow for years to come.
We’re excited to celebrate their hard work and dedication with a special video on National Intern Day! Click below to watch the video. Let their passion and commitment inspire you as we continue raising up future leaders to embrace their calling and change lives.
