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

- Workspace for in-class activities and assignments.
- Collection of draft lesson results for use in Business Plan
development.

topics.
