In 2006, TrueHope was formed in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina with the mission of rebuilding homes and supporting families in need as a result of the hurricanes. As the needs of the gulf declined, TrueHope partnered with Hill Country Bible Church Georgetown to lead foreign mission programs in Piedras Negras, Mexico.
TrueHope began to team with local organizations and churches in Piedras Negras and surrounding areas as part of a strategy to support the community. Over the past 8.5 years, mission work in Mexico has included many programs including humanitarian outreach, faith based events, and new facility construction such as soup kitchens, schools, orphanages, churches, and special projects targeting direct aid to children in need. TrueHope has also created opportunity through sponsorship for several children in Mexico from Elementary through High School to receive an education.
TrueHope has made it a priority to create very low cost opportunities for individuals and families to experience foreign missions, opening up the world of missions to those who never could have participated before. Over 50 trips to Mexico have been organized by TrueHope and hundreds of people from all over the world have participated. Several individuals have chosen full time mission work as a direct result of their experience on a TrueHope GO trip.
The directors are excited to announce that beginning January 1, 2016, TrueHope will begin accepting donations to support orphans in Kenya. With the third highest number of HIV/AIDS orphans in the world living in Kenya, estimated at 890,000, the need is great. Donors will have the opportunity to support orphans by providing food, safe and secure housing, clothing, medical care, education, and other vital resources.
TrueHope has a vision that children around the world would have the opportunity to grow up healthy, educated and loved. The organization has a proven history of receiving and distributing donations responsibly to those in need. Its founders have been guided and driven by James 1:27 “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”
