After much thought and prayer about the dynamically changing world we are called to minister in, God confirmed to us that we needed to change our organization name —

Book of Hope has now become OneHope.

One Hope is what we offer the children and youth of the world: the hope of Jesus Christ.

One Hope is found in His Word — whether we deliver that Word through the printed pages of the Book of Hope, or on the big screen with The GodMan film.

The Book of Hope will of course remain the name of our printed Scripture book for children and youth — and we’re not cutting back in distributing the printed Word at all:

Our goal this year: to reach over 70 million with the Book of Hope.

But some new friends were getting confused: was Book of Hope a ministry or a product? And why did a ministry called “Book of Hope” use a film, and the Internet?

A new ministry name could help clear up this confusion.

Prayerfully we studied the future, the worldwide priority of our mission, and the true state of the world: UNESCO says one in every five people on earth can’t read. That’s over a billion souls that can’t be touched by a book.

You understand — the power of His transforming Word is not limited to the printed text!

We’re committed to reaching the next generation with God’s Word through all available media. The GodMan has been viewed by more than 10 million children and youth in hosted showings — and by hundreds of millions more via broadcast TV.

We are exploring additional mediums such as the web, text and oral presentation — anything and everything with the potential to introduce Scripture to young people!

Dad and I, along with our ministry board of directors and leadership team, prayed about a new name to better reflect this expanding vision. OneHope is the name God led us to.

• OneHope captures the original vision God gave: to rescue children and youth from the despair and lies of the enemy by providing them with the one and only hope for eternity.
• OneHope is perfect in an age of relativism when children are taught there are no absolute truths — but that there are many ways to God — it’s critical they understand there is only One Hope for the future ... and that they can find this Hope in the Scriptures.
• OneHope reflects the proclamation of the Living Word, the Savior, whether through print, film or some other media.

Thanks for being our partner in OneHope, stepping into the next dimension of our God-given vision to reach every child and youth, whether they can read or not.

Thank you for keeping your heart open to the next generation. Thank you for walking with us through this transition.
