World Race Update: Hope Manley-New Zealand
Recently, we were able to get in touch with Hope Manley, who is off in New Zealand participating in the World Race. It’s pretty crazy what technology can enable us to do these days. We have a video to share with you on how Hope’s been able to share the gospel, what God has been teaching her and how we can lift her and her team up in prayer. So take a couple minutes and listen to some of the things God’s been up to in New Zealand.

To see our mighty God at work around the world, to learn what it means to love your neighbor sacrificially, to have your heart broken for the people God loves so dearly. In the end, it’s not about us. It’s about Christ and the nations making much of Him.
Kristen and Hope are currently in New Zealand and have the opportunity to participate in some unique ministries. Kristen was dropped off at the mouth of a popular trail in the New Zealand bush and from there set out on a “tramping” excursion,
