Missions

Missionary Support

Supporting missionaries is an integral part of the church. Missionaries need to know they are supported at home, both financially and prayerfully. Good Hope builds a long-term relationship with missionaries by regularly communicating with them, supporting them through our annual budget, and praying for them weekly. Some of the missionaries who are currently supported financially by our congregation are:

• Gene and LuAnn Bowman, Hispanic Leadership Initiative
• Chris Garriott, University of Maryland RUF
• Linda Karner, Chiba, Japan
• Keith and Lori, Asia
• Josiah and Miriam, Africa
• Elisabeth Cary, MTW Bulgaria
• Steve and Beth Brunson, Trans World Radio Guam
• Yewase Literacy/Scripture Use, Burkina Faso
• Laurel Pregnancy Center, Maryland
• Katie Espey, Young Life of Howard County & Catonsville
• Melanie Johnson, MTW-Japan

Mission Conference, Sept. 24-25

For the first time since 2019 we will meet together Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, Sept. 24-25, to celebrate, learn about, and pray for the missionaries supported by Good Hope. There will be food from many countries of the world, and reports from our brothers and sisters in Christ who are giving their lives right now to the full-time work of the Kingdom of God. Some will join us in person; some will send recorded greetings; all will give us a better idea of how to pray for and support their work. Plan now to enjoy this celebration!
