Hope Ignited is a faith-based organization that provides the light and brings hope to hopeless and economically destitute people of third world countries. Our aim is to reach the spiritual needs of people by meeting their physical needs. We do this by partnering with local churches in the region and through short-term, high impact, mission trips that have long lasting results.
Born in 1999 under the name Pain de Vie, which translates from French to English as “Bread of Life”, the original vision of the organization was to start a small bakery business. This business was to be used as a platform to reach the community by creating jobs and relationships in Conakry, Guinea.
In 2008, Pain de Vie, officially came to be know as Hope Ignited. Rather than its original intent to plant bakeries in Guinea, Hope Ignited has expanded its scope to include other disadvantaged countries and other ministries. Our goal is to bring hope to people by creating jobs, training and providing resources for some of the most disadvantaged people on the planet. We plant schools, clinics and small businesses through local churches that are able to target the specific needs of the communities.
Through the efforts of volunteers, donors and trip participants from the United States, we are able to provide resources, both physical and monetary, to make a huge difference in these communities and the lives of the people who live there.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is One God, eternally existent in three persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, Miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His Resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His return in power and glory.
We believe that for salvation there is no other name but Jesus Christ for the redemption of lost and sinful men.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells the Christian and empowers and enables a life pleasing to God.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The saved will dwell in the Presence of God and the lost will be eternally separated from Him.
We believe in the unity of the body of Christ and the church is His bride.
Hope Ignited exists to bring hope to people in some of the most difficult countries on the planet through job creation, education and training and health clinics. Our first project is a bakery in Guinea West Africa, which was established to create jobs and reach out to the community though serving the community.
We invite people to join us on short term trips to work along side Nations to improve the quality of life and to proclaim to Kingdom of God.
