The Hope Project – Showing the Depths of Jesus’ Love to Street KidsOctober 1, 2009 – September 30, 2010“Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.” (Luke 12:6b, NIV).
Millions of kids throughout the world find themselves surviving or living on the streets. Many of them struggle each day for the basic needs of life--food, clothing and shelter. Through the Kids Reaching Kids 2009-2010 Mission Offering,
The Hope Project, your kids will have the opportunity to show these children on the streets that they are not forgotten by God.
As children give their nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars for
The Hope Project, children on the streets will have many of these basic holistic needs of life met. In addition, many of them for the first time will also hear and learn how Jesus Christ can make a difference in their lives. They will experience the depths of Jesus’ love.
The Hope Project will provide funds for street children in each of the seven world regions of the Church of the Nazarene. This includes Africa, Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Eurasia, Mexico and Central America, North America, and South America.
Working with the regional coordinators for
Connecting a New Generation,
The Hope Project will help to fund holistic efforts for children around the globe. In addition, the funds will help these regional coordinators train and equip new workers to reach these children on the streets.
“But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish (Psalm 9:18, NIV). Children on the streets will know they have not been forgotten, they will feel the hope that comes from Jesus Christ, and they will have access to the basic needs of live.

Thank You for Helping Us Meet the D-Code Challenge!
The 2008-2009 Kids Reaching Kids Mission Offering Project, The D-Code Challenge came to a close on September 30, topping the $300K mark for a fourth consecutive year.
The largest portion of the money raised for the D-Code Challenge will be used to translate and produce Children’s Bible Quizzing materials, currently produced in English by Nazarene Publishing House, into the other four major language groups of the Church of the Nazarene—French, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Children’s Ministries International, Scott Stargel, Global Nazarene Publications, and individual translators, have translated and made the current year’s quizzing materials, Children’s Bible Studies in 1 and 2 Samuel, available in Global English, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Children’s quizzing and bible study materials for Genesis, Exodus, Acts, Matthew, and Joshua/Judges and Ruth will be translated in the near future.
