Letter from the President
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. —Isaiah 41:10 NIV These words from the Lord carried us through these past few years: through pandemic, unrest, economic upheaval, war … they stand as bold witness that the darker the world around us has become, the brighter the truth of God’s Word shines...

Dino Rizzo Executive Director, Association of Related Churches
I know when I give to OneHope I can be confident in their stewardship and love for children across the globe. This world is better because of the Hoskinses’ and OneHope’s call to continue the Great Commission.
Dr. Bryan Jarrett Lead Pastor, Northplace Church
Through the years, our partnership with OneHope has eternally transformed tens of thousands of children and youth, most of which we will never meet this side of heaven. I am thrilled to have an eternity to get to know each of them by name!
Michael Oh Global Executive Director of The Lausanne Movement
“I celebrate three aspects [of OneHope]: No. 1 — a God-honoring vision; No. 2 — a humble servant’s heart; and No. 3 — a hearty commitment to partnership. These three things have been exemplified in OneHope throughout your history and your impact on the whole world to the glory of God.”
Kevin Palau President/CEO of the Luis Palau Association
“We’re so proud just to be a fly on the wall to see and celebrate and observe how God is using OneHope to reach the next generation, should the Lord tarry.”

These words from the Lord carried us through these past few years: through pandemic, unrest, economic upheaval, war … they stand as bold witness that the darker the world around us has become, the brighter the truth of God’s Word shines. • You can see the light shining through in stories like Amaurey’s — you can read how his journey progresses. • You can see God at work to banish the darkness in Veronika’s story from Ukraine. • You can see the light of Christ reaching into the Muslim world in Diame’s story. So much of what the Holy Spirit does through your OneHope ministry is made possible through friends like you, who are faithful to the calling to reach the next generation. This reflects your good stewardship, your commitment to reaching the next generation and your willingness to pray. Thank you for sacrificing so 139 million children could receive God’s Word last year. Through every Book of Hope, every showing of The GodMan film, every presentation of God’s Big Story, you reinforced the promise of Isaiah 41:10, and gave 139 million children and youth the promise that no matter what you are going through, the Lord is with you, and you don’t need to be afraid. As you look over this report, I invite you to celebrate the lives transformed by the Gospel last year. Whether digital, print, or film your OneHope programs are showing the next generation the way to new life in Christ. Thank you for being part of this!
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
—Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Catalyze Clubs
Piloted in Kenya, Catalyze Clubs are a multilayered discipleship experience that begins with Lead Today. As teenagers complete the Lead Today program, they’re invited to move on the Catalyze. The clubs are designed to: 1. Give youth the opportunity for continuing education through digital learning; 2. Integrate them into self-led communities of other young believers for encouragement, support, and innovation; and 3. Challenge them to contribute their time and talent to the mission and vision of OneHope, sharing God’s Word with other children and youth.
In limited access regions, digital programs like our What If It’s True? outreach are such an important strategy for getting God’s Word to the next generation! Explore how online outreaches are making a difference.
In countries where ministry is severely limited by cultural norms, government regulations, or persecution against Christians, we have limited access to share the Good News. See how we’re still sharing hope with children in these countries.

Feed curriculum is for youth pastors and churches to aid in developing Bible literacy in teenagers. We launched several new small-groups series in 2022! Also, OneHope partnered with Zondervan in the release of The Telos Bible, a complete NIV Bible with special features designed to draw teenagers into the Word.

Background 1
Latin America is a broad region with many different cultures — and even with a growing evangelical Church, there’s still a desperate need for sustainable children and youth ministries. Our Avivemos (“We’re Building It Up”) project helps the Church value and prioritize children and youth in their congregations. It is a uniquely Latin American strategy for engaging every child and youth in the region with God’s Word by the end of the year 2030 and includes: - Training churches for sustainable outreach programs - Connecting at least 20% of the churches in Latin America for OneHope outreach (that’s 4,653 churches per year for the next nine years!)
Bob and Hazel Hoskins School of Mission, Southeastern University
The Bob and Hazel Hoskins School of Mission focuses on interdisciplinary degree programs with a combination of ministry and marketplace skills that equip students for effective organizational and entrepreneurial leadership. This means young people who have been reached through OneHope and completed Lead Today will have the opportunity to develop job skills and ministry skills and begin reaching their own nations with God’s Word!
The limited access regions signified by the Middle East and North Africa contain many majority-Muslim nations — and other areas that are limited access for missions — where it can be perilous to share the Good News — But children and youth in these lands desperately need to know the Lord Jesus. This is why digital programs like our What If It’s True? outreach are such an important strategy for getting God’s Word to the next generation. What If It’s True? was originally launched in a majority-Muslim nation where it was very difficult for young people to connect with Christians and people were strongly discouraged from attending a Christian church or event.
The digital program, advertised online and through social media, offered teenagers the opportunity to explore the answers to their deepest questions and spiritual needs through the lens of Scripture — and also gave them the opportunity to begin online discussions with local believers. The program was so successful that it was rapidly exported to other countries — in the Muslim world and beyond. To date, What If It’s True? has reached more than 24 million young people, and in 2023 our faith goal is to interact with 13.6 million children and youth.
One in three Ukrainians are now internally displaced or refugees. OneHope partners are sharing the hope of the Gospel with them and providing for their urgent needs. We’re accomplishing this across three areas:
Giving God’s Word
Helping vulnerable children
Equipping the church
Churches in Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring countries are assisting the population and the government with evacuation efforts, housing, and food distribution. Working with our local partners, we are helping provide this holistic crisis response.
“Our presence at the border, hot tea and sandwiches, free transportation and lodging, warm words of comfort, and physical help testify about God’s love and care.” —Pentecostal Union of Moldova
“Your funds have allowed churches to purchase food, mattresses, bedding, and sanitary items to accommodate internally displaced people. God knows that we are grateful beyond measure!” —Ukrainian Baptist Union
“We are seeing people confess Christ as their Savior and seeing a powerful witness of the Church ministering to those in need.” —Ukrainian Pentecostal Union
Their apartment building was destroyed in the bombing — Veronika, her mom, and her grandmother took shelter in an underground bunker … where they spent 50 days without ever venturing above ground or seeing the sunlight. A OneHope ministry partner came to help with evacuations — but Veronika could hear the cacophony of combat outside … and she was terrified to leave the bunker. Thankfully, the love of Jesus, extended to her and her family, gave her the courage to leave the shelter. Now as she and her family take the next steps in their journey to relocation and safety, Veronika also has God’s Word in the Book of Hope to give her comfort.
Hope for Veronika
Ukrainian children are suffering with fear, confusion, and emotional trauma as a result of the war. Your OneHope team is now developing a program to help address the trauma. This special-edition Book of Hope is designed to meet the heartfelt needs of children ages 7-11, and will tell the life story of Jesus from the Scriptures with extra sections that address five major emotions, help children identify them, and process them in a healthy manner. A similar program was developed for children caught up in the Syrian refugee crisis. We worked on the Survivors Book of Hope with our partners at Biblica, which is also helping with the new program, along with clinical psychologists and regional representatives.

IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 2023:
With your support and prayers, OneHope launched the Feed curriculum for youth pastors and churches to aid in developing Bible literacy in teenagers and helping them grow deep in their faith and the Scriptures. In 2022, Feed launched several important small-group studies that are impacting young people in churches across North America. These included:
Ekklesia - shares about the Greek word for church and being part of God’s family Transformed - addresses gender identity from a biblical perspective Who Am I? - covers the topic of bearing the image of God
OneHope has partnered with Zondervan in the release of The Telos Bible, a complete NIV Bible with special features designed to draw teenagers into the Word, show them how the Scriptures are relevant today, and help them develop a lifelong passion for daily interface with God’s Word. We’re excited to see how this new Bible complements the Feed program in helping teenagers develop a deep understanding of God’s Word and their faith.

In countries where ministry is severely limited by cultural norms, government regulations, or persecution against Christians, we have limited access to share the Good News. For the safety of our partners, we do not identify these countries by name in print. OneHope partners in these regions are committed to reaching the next generation, and with your help we’re supplying them with the Scripture programs they need. Because the regions are diverse, the needs are diverse — and we’ve created many different types of programs to help young people experience God’s Word in a way that’s relevant to them, including:
The Bible App for Kids Book of Hope is a printed book with the eight main stories from the app. It’s the perfect companion to the Bible App for Kids, which is popular in many limited access nations, and it stands alone as well.

What If It’s True? is a digital initiative that provides space for people to engage with life’s tough questions, begin on a journey through Scripture, and even meet up with a local believer in their area for further discipleship.

In Asia Pacific, many children lack knowledge of basic hygiene skills. World Without Sickness is a Scripture book that presents the power of God’s Word to transform and also focuses on cleanliness, hygiene, and fitness, which makes it welcome in many schools for its practical aid in keeping kids healthy.

OneHope created the God’s Big Story program, a collection of picture cards that depict Bible stories without written text, specifically for cultures that rely on oral traditions and storytelling because it can be used even among people who can’t read.

A PERSONAL WORD FROM
READ Prayer Guide
Go from your country, your family, and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless them who bless you and curse him who curses you, and in you all families of the earth will be blessed. (MEV)
Inspired by God’s Word, she wrote the popular worship song “Way maker.” You probably know it: “Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper. Light in the darkness….” It became an anthem during the darkest days of the pandemic, encouraging multitudes. Perhaps my favorite line of this song, as it is sung in worship services, is: “Even when I don’t see it, You’re working.” This has been true of my life and ministry. 2023 marks my 80th year of full-time ministry, and here is what I have learned … 1. God intervenes — even when we don’t see it, He’s working. 2. Prayer changes things. No wonder 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 commands, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (NIV, emphasis added). So, I encourage you to keep the faith that God is working — keep faithful to His call to reach the children with the Word — and keep praying. We’ve included a prayer guide for the nations. I invite you to lift up the next generation and our partners regularly in the days ahead. Thank you, and God bless you!
