PUREHOPE COALITION

OUR VISION IS A WORLD FREE OF SEXUAL BROKENNESS. IT IS BOLD, BUT IT IS SURE, AND WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS WILL RETURN AND MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. UNTIL THAT DAY, WE EQUIP FOLLOWERS OF JESUS TO PURSUE A WORLD FREE BY SIMPLY PURSUING MORE OF HIM. ESSENTIALLY, WE ARE REFRAMING HOW THE CHURCH (BIG "C" - MEANING ALL CHURCHES/CHRIST-FOLLOWERS, NOT JUST ONE BUILDING OR DENOMINATION) TALKS ABOUT SEXUAL PURITY. WE ARE EQUIPPING PEOPLE TO SHARE GOD'S STORY OF SEX WITH CONFIDENCE AND TO NAVIGATE A SEXUALIZED, DIGITAL AGE WITH HOPE.CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE OTHE GOAL OF OUR PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS IS TO REFRAME THE CONVERSATION ABOUT PURITY, PROCLAIM HOPE, AND EQUIP MEN AND WOMEN TO LEAD THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IN THE PURSUIT OF PURITY. FOR EXAMPLE, DURING THE PANDEMIC, OUR TEAM DEVELOPED A FIVE-PART SERIES CALLED "THE PURSUIT" TO TRAIN LEADERS AND MINISTRY ADVOCATES ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE PUREHOPE APP - THIS NEW PLATFORM CREATES MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH PEOPLE WITH THE MESSAGE OF PUREHOPE. IT IS ANOTHER PLATFORM PEOPLE CAN USE EASILY AND FREQUENTLY TO ACCESS OUR CONTENT AND RESOURCES.A WORLD FREE: THE PUREHOPE PODCAST - DURING SEASON TWO, THE PODCAST REACHED OVER 5,000 LISTENERS. WE STARTED TO SPARK ONGOING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SEX IN REAL LIFE AND GOD'S DESIGN. WE'VE ALSO BEEN FEATURED ON OTHER TOP PODCASTS (SUCH AS MEN IN THE ARENA, HUSBAND MATERIAL, CULTURE MATTERS, AND PARDON THE MESS). THROUGH THOSE GUEST APPEARANCES, AND NOW A FORMAT TWEAK INTO SEASON THREE, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSHIP HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED, AND WE HAVE REACHED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PEOPLE.PUREHOPE EVENTS - THE PUREHOPE PURSUIT TRAINING EQUIPS LEADERS AND MINISTRY ADVOCATES ALL OVER THE WORLD ("TRAIN THE TRAINER"). TO DATE, WE HAVE TRAINED LEADERS DOMESTICALLY, IN AFRICA, AND IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE PUREHOPE CONFERENCE MESSAGE IS "THE PURSUIT: HOW TO FIND PURE HOPE IN A SEXUALIZED, DIGITAL AGE." OUR GOAL IS TO GROW THE NUMBER OF CONFERENCES WE HAVE EACH YEAR. OUR TEAM PARTNERS WITH CHURCHES, CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO BRING CLEAR, SCRIPTURAL TEACHINGS INFUSED WITH PANEL DISCUSSIONS, Q&A, ROUNDTABLES, AND NEXT-STEP RESOURCES.THE PRIMARY OUTREACH MAY BE TO SINGLE OR MARRIED MEN AND/OR WOMEN, SINGLE PARENTS, TWO-PARENT HOMES, GRANDPARENTS, OR DEDICATED MENTORS OF ALL AGES AND LIFE STAGES. DEPENDING ON THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, THEIR MOST PRESSING CULTURAL ISSUE MAY BE POLYGAMY, PORNOGRAPHY, OR CONFUSION ABOUT GOD'S PURPOSES FOR SEX. CURRENTLY, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH LEADERS DOMESTICALLY AND IN SOUTHWEST AFRICA, SOUTHEAST ASIA, AND LATIN AMERICA. THE NEED IS GREAT, AND THERE IS MUCH OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPANSION.
