The Hope Giver in India


In India, a campaign led by network partner Book of Hope resulted in one of their most fruitful outreaches in their history. The “Hope Giver” is a 42 minute computer graphic animation on the life of Christ with a culturally relevant introduction and close. It is designed to accompany the “Book of Hope,” a harmonization of the Gospels designed for kids under the age of 12. “Extensive training of partner churches was a key to the success of this outreach,” stated Executive Director, Rob Hoskins.

The Book of Hope worked with 20,000 churches to organize home based screenings of the Hope Giver for kids and their parents. The average event attendance was 26. A total of 8 million children and parents viewed the Hope Giver! They are still determining the spiritual impact of this initiative, but they are excited to see how God used the power of visual story.
