FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON….

…A time for every activity under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Hope Renewed International (H.R.I.) began in 2010 with a desire to share the love of Christ by transforming lives in high risk communities in Guatemala through care, education, opportunities and formation. We celebrate the countless lives that have been impacted by God through Hope Renewed over the past 14 years.

But now a new season.

The Board of Directors has begun the process of dissolving Hope Renewed International. Subject to the regulatory review and approval of the Office of the Attorney General for the state of Tennessee, we will dissolve Hope Renewed International and pursue transferring our assets to an established Guatemalan based non-profit organization. We are committed to finding an organization that has a similar vision and mission to equip and empower the underserved, marginalized and oppressed communities in Guatemala.

We are convinced that this is the right next step for Hope Renewed International. It is the final chapter in a story that has been written by God and used by Him to make a transformative impact in our lives and in the lives of Guatemalans. Thank you for your contributions to that mission. To God be the glory!

We ask for prayers as we navigate this process. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any member of the Board of Directors.

OPPORTUNITIES = HOPE

Hope Renewed International (HRI) serves, equips and empowers Guatemalans living in poverty with practical tools to discover their God-given abilities and change their circumstances, becoming all that God intended them to be.

Our Mission

**Our mission** is to share the love of Christ by transforming lives in at-risk communities through care, education, opportunity, and formation.
**Our goal** is to *serve*, *equip*, and *empower* the people in the communities where we work so they can ultimately help themselves, thereby creating dependability instead of dependency.

OUR IMPACT

Guatemala is one of the poorest nations in the world. It is estimated that nearly half of the population lives on less than $2 per day and 15% on less than $1 per day. Guatemala’s social development indicators, such as infant mortality, chronic child malnutrition, and illiteracy are among the worst in the hemisphere. Hope Renewed began in 2010 with the determination to make a sustainable difference in the lives of the people of Guatemala.
