Hope 2008

Hope 2008 will see a new wave of mission across the UK in a year of united, focused prayer and activities which will communicate the good news of Jesus Christ in word and action.

The dream of Hope 2008 is to see every denomination, movement, stream and conference uniting in prayer, community action and outreach. Over the course of 2008 we expect to see:

100,000 people in prayer groups and triplets
Major missions in the UK's largest cities, with 500 other towns taking part 1,000,000 hours of kindness (in partnership with government bodies and police)
1,000 schools missions.

Hope 2008 is an opportunity for every part of the Christian church to play to their strengths and together make an impact on our nation.

Leaders include: Andy Hawthorne, Steve Clifford, Mike Pilavachi, Roy Crowne, Clive Dudbridge
