We all need community and support, especially during difficult seasons. A few years ago, Mikayla found this at Hope Academy.

‍

“I feel like people care here,” she shared in a powerful testimony this fall. “When there’s struggles and there’s times of hardness, they push through it with you and that gives you hope.”

‍

‍

Since coming to Hope Academy, Mikayla has been consistently supported, encouraged, and pointed to hope in God. She’s grown in her classes and friendships, and gained confidence in knowing that “in every situation, there’s God.”

‍

Mikayla’s mom has also found support and community here.

‍

“I know that if I needed anything, that I could call out on them and that they would help me,” she shared. “The financial support that Hope has offered me has been very helpful and very affordable; and came into my life at a time that I really needed it…To know that Hope Academy is right here centered in the middle [of Minneapolis] to help us pull out from all the sadness and tragedies that are going on here—it’s nice to know that Hope Academy is right here.”

‍

All of this reminds me of God’s promise in Isaiah 43. He says:

‍

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”

‍

With the prayers and support of financial partners, hundreds of children are experiencing God’s love, growing in faith, and pursuing excellence at Hope Academy. And, hope is spreading to their families and communities. Thank you for helping us make a remarkable, Christ-centered education affordable to all!
