SURPRISED BY HOPE is a 501(c)3 nonprofit religious and
charitable organization founded in the United States and registered in several
East African countries. Our vision is freedom from poverty of body, mind, and
spirit. Toward that end, we provide a Christ-centered business education and
foster personal encounters with the love of God.
POVERTY in sub-Saharan Africa involves
more than a lack of
material things. Poverty involves a lack of dignity, a lack of control, and a
lack of influence. Starting and growing a business using what God has given
them to steward allows participants to experience FREEDOM
from
poverty of body, mind, and spirit. Our 10-session KINGDOM
BUSINESS curriculum
provides a spiritually integrated, culturally relevant, developmentally
appropriate, and economically beneficial business education for East African
church leaders and their community members. These sessions empower participants
to provide for their family and to have a kingdom impact.
Both Kingdom Business Facilitator’s Guides include:
- Comprehensive lessons founded on Scripture that incorporate globally recognized business principles.
- Special sections for church leaders and advanced learners.
- Activities that reinforce learning and application exercises that lead toward a complete business plan.
- Written instructions, visual icons, and in-text signals to guide facilitators toward success.
