Village of Hope- Iris Ministries

Here at Living Hope Church we partner with

and support several mission organizations to help spread

the love of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

“Village of Hope Ministries and IRIS Bartow” is an urban missions ministry based in Bartow, Florida, USA. We are a non-denominational, Faith-Based Charity Organization, in association with Iris Global. (www.Irisglobal.org
Around 2007, Director Jessica Goodman (“Mama J”) took hold of a vision in which she saw the hands of God scooping up the children of the “Carver Village” Housing Community where she had been ministering part-time. In the vision, she saw Him lift the kids up to heaven and then drop them back down to earth where they landed steady on their feet as fully-grown Christian leaders; Missionaries, Pastors, teachers…God saw a future and a hope over a place many had given up on. Jessica started a once-a-week kids club and bible study and continued to lead outreaches in the community. By 2012, the city of Bartow voted unanimously to allow what is now “Village of Hope Ministries” to adopt the housing projects community center to further its efforts. Mama J and a core team of missionaries are now laying their lives down to see God’s dream fulfilled.

 Thank you for your giving, and your prayers for the Village of Hope family.

Local Missions

 

We desire to share the gospel to our own community! Through local missions, we seek to love our neighbor and be the light to those in need right here is Southwest, FL.

 

Jesus Loves You Ministry is an outreach program to the homeless and needy. They offer meals, item donations, medicine, homes, a support system, a shower ministry, and so much more to our community. Our church partners with this program every Tuesday night at Indian Mound park in ministering to the least of these in our community.

 

One of the local missions we support is L.A. Ainger Backpack Ministry. This middle school ministry provides a backpack full of food for local families. These backpacks are filled and sent home with the students for the weekend. Many students in Charlotte County rely on the free and reduced breakfast and lunch program that the school system offers. With every backpacks sponsored, our church family is able to see to it that these same students will also have meal provision while they are not in school.
