A teenage mother who named her child “No Hope” – then changed it to “Jesus Is Our Hope.” A young man who began a job as a gardener and turned it into a career in health care. Twin sisters who are taking a stand for Christ in a blighted community where He is desperately needed. Through the ministries of Living Hope, God has broken despair and transformed the lives of these people and many more across Cape Town, South Africa’s South Peninsula. Hear their stories. See their faces. Celebrate hope.
That’s the synopsis of Faces of Hope, the book I’ve been working on for nearly a year. Now, with three weeks remaining for me in Cape Town, it is nearing completion. The front cover, back cover and inside pages are in the final design and proofreading process, and we’ve identified a printer, an American company that specializes in high-quality self-publishing.
Living Hope will supply the money for printing costs. That amount that, Lord willing, will be recouped – and more – when the book goes on sale. (Target release date: February 28, 2011). Separate from the printing costs, approximately $1,000 is needed for graphic design services. If you feel led to make a contribution toward this amount, please email me for more information.
Stay tuned to this blog for updated information on the release date and how to obtain a copy. In the meantime, see the following post for an example of just one of these stories of hope.
