RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION
The ministry of Star of Hope has always been to meet the needs of our neighbors through the local church.
Due to the unique nature of our ministry, Star of Hope is embedded in the community through our large network of religious organizations, churches & city leaders.
It’s through these relationships we are able to collect, prepare, sort, package & then distribute the needed resources as we monitor the need.
Essentially, we get the needed resources
to the places that are serving our neighbors.
CITY-WIDE DAILY PRAYER
The need for prayer is greater than ever!
Please join us at noon every weekday for our daily prayer conference call, or text us your prayer requests. We will be led by Pastors and Leaders from the community as we lift up the needs of our city together in prayer.

Looking Ahead
Considering the current circumstances surrounding the COVID 19 virus, we have shifted all of our attention to the front lines of the churches’ efforts to love and care for the poor, the orphan, and the widow.
We remain committed to leadership development, job and life skill training, STEAM programming for our cities’ youth, on-the-job retail training in our Thrift Store, education through the Antioch Initiative, participation in the Global Leadership Summit, and more. While these efforts take a backseat to our Crisis response, we want to assure you that we will faithfully return to “business as usual” as the Lord allows.
We genuinely believe this is an incredible opportunity to show the world and the lost what the love and HOPE of Christ in action looks like and to see many begin their journey toward a saving relationship in Jesus through His church.
