2023 Impact - 423,726 Lives Transformed

2023 impact

2023 has been a wild ride on the international front as the people of Haiti have endured continual oppression from the gangs running the country. As difficult as that has made our ability to work in the midst of these circumstances, as well as the cultural divide between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, it has also created new opportunities to serve the most vulnerable.

Over the last year, you have been a part of changing the lives of 423,726 people across Haiti and the Dominican Republic (let that settle in—because it’s so important to grasp). It’s been an incredible year of ministry because you have answered the call so well. In fact, this year, our 25th in ministry, has been one of the most impactful years yet. Your faithful support has been a tangible representation of God’s grace to men, women, and children across the island.

You’ll hear more about this in the coming days, but the vision of Mission of Hope to see life transformation for every man, woman, and child remains strong. In fact, our vision has grown to One Island: One Mission.

All of this is because of you. You’ve driven advancement in education, nutrition, church advancement, and medical care among the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Here’s what you’ve been able to help accomplish through Mission of Hope this year.

2023 impact

Thank you for your investment in the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. God has multiplied those gifts innumerably, and we trust He will continue to do the same in the years to come as we continue to cover the entirety of the island. And we could not be more excited!

Though together we’ve accomplished much thus far, so much more remains to be done. And a growing mission requires growing resources for its fulfillment. Would you prayerfully consider making a year-end investment into this vision to scale the ministries over the entire island? Would you also consider sharing this with someone else you know who might also prayerfully consider partnering with us in the days to come?

We are thankful for you, and we are excited to celebrate the incredible things God will accomplish through our partnership in the days ahead!

End of Year Impact Report

By Mackenzie Bartolome • January 13, 2026
As we reflect on 2025, we are grateful for the ways God moved through faithful partners and local communities to bring nourishment, hope, and lasting transformation. Through Hope at the Table and other core initiatives, children and families facing hunger, poverty, and instability experienced tangible care and renewed hope. At a time when 5.7 million people are struggling daily to feed themselves and their loved ones, generosity made a measurable difference. With just 11 cents providing one meal, every dollar given helped deliver nine meals to families in need—filling empty plates with food and reminding communities they are not forgotten. Throughout the year, the impact extended far beyond meals. In 2025, 787 individuals professed their faith, 131 communities were served, and 278 pastors and leaders were trained to continue shepherding their people with wisdom and care. Discipleship programs equipped 2,645 women to grow in faith and leadership, while education programs served 11,000 students, investing in the next generation. Medical teams provided care to 7,945 individuals, and 24.6 million meals were distributed overall, including daily feeding programs that supported 101,356 children. Together, we have seen emptiness replaced with provision, despair met with joy, and hunger answered with hope. This work reflects the heart of Matthew 25:35: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.” As we look ahead, we remain committed to serving alongside local churches and communities, trusting that generosity—rooted in love—will continue to change stories and lives in the year to come..

Hope Through Local Churches

By Mackenzie Bartolome • January 13, 2026
When *María watched her three children put on their new school uniforms and shoes, she called it a blessing from God. For weeks, the weight of uncertainty had pressed on her heart, she longed to send her children to school, but the cost felt far beyond her reach. What María received was more than a one-time gift. It was a reminder that she was seen, known, and not alone. Through one of our community partnerships, a local church—rooted in her neighborhood and moved by compassion—recognized the need and responded with dignity, love, and care. Made possible by faithful church partners and God’s provision, hope met her family right where they were. Today, Mission of Hope partners with 13 local churches across the Dominican Republic, equipping them to meet urgent needs while sharing the hope of the gospel. Through these partnerships, churches provide food, medical care, children’s programming, and women’s discipleship—walking hand in hand with families long after the moment of need, and helping them step into a future filled with hope. In the most recent program update: 393+ Bibles were distributed 109+ individuals accepted Christ 500+ people were reached through local churches 12 Damas Juntas women’s groups continued meeting and growing together These partnerships also enable churches to care for the whole person, supporting families during medical emergencies, providing meals for children, and creating spaces for prayer, discipleship, and evangelism. María’s children are now attending school with confidence, and she is supported by her local church. Praise be to God! *name changed for privacy
