Our Mission
Going to the ends of the earth — bearing witness, building lives, and sharing hope across continents.
What We Believe About Mission
At Hope Community Church, mission sits at the very heart of who we are. We believe that faith is not passive — it moves, it serves, and it crosses borders. Rooted in Hinckley and reaching across the world, we partner with workers and communities who are bringing good news to places that need it most.
Our mission involvement spans prayer, practical support, financial giving, and hands-on trips. Every year, members of Hope travel overseas to serve alongside our long-standing partners — returning changed and with a deeper conviction that God is at work far beyond our local walls.
Below you will find the two mission fields we are currently most closely connected with. We would love you to read their stories, pray for them, and consider how you might play a part.
Prayer
Holding our partners before God week by week in our church family.
Presence
Sending teams from Hope to serve, encourage, and work alongside.
Provision
Giving financially to sustain long-term workers and projects.
Our Mission Fields
Two countries. Two remarkable stories. One shared calling.
India
Lonavala, Maharashtra
Through YWAM (Youth With A Mission), Prabha and Mary have built a network of house fellowships in and around Lonavala. Their work weaves together church planting, vocational training, and pastoral care for mission workers across India.
Recent months have brought real reason to celebrate — an Easter gathering of over 200 people, fresh baptisms of tribal believers, and Mary's tailoring programme equipping women with skills and dignity.
Highlights
- Prabha ordained — a milestone after years of faithful service
- 11 tribal believers baptised, with 8 more preparing
- Mary's tailoring classes: 67 graduates, 3 new classes underway
- Member Care Seminar equipping staff to support workers across India
💬 How to Pray
- For Prabha and Mary as they raise monthly support
- For the monthly central gatherings of house fellowships
- For protection and fruit as the harvest continues
Romania
Satu-Nou, Bacău County
Our connection with Romania stretches back more than 30 years, rooted in a friendship with the Andronic family. Today, Simon Andronic pastors the very church his father planted in the rural village of Satu-Nou — and Hope members make regular trips to serve alongside him and his wife Oana.
The village is poor but the church is vibrant. Simon and Oana run youth sponsorship programmes, a dental mission clinic, and are developing a house for vulnerable children calledCasa Andrei.
Highlights
- Annual dental mission clinic serving surrounding villages for 3+ years
- 23 children sponsored to attend secondary school in Bacău
- Casa Andrei — a safe home for vulnerable village children, under construction
- Hope team members Mick, Lorraine, Brooke & Micah served in August 2022
💬 How to Pray
- For Simon and Oana as they lead with great faith in a poor village
- For Casa Andrei to be completed and open its doors
- For the children in the school sponsorship programme
