I Couldn't Be More Grateful

HOPE Youth Corps/ HOPEww Singles Corps • September 15, 2017

Zionn Bill (London, UK) shares his about his experience on the Zambia HYC

Here were some of his thoughts of his experience…

Before going to Zambia, I thought that young people couldn’t make a meaningful difference in the world. I also thought that I just had to wait until adulthood, until I could do what I wanted to.

Living with and getting to know all the young serving people that came to the HOPE Youth Corps, helped me realize that the only limits I had were my own mindset, and my faith in God. The amazing lessons and intimate daily discussion groups also helped me rely more on God, and seek to serve him first. When I got back to London, I studied the Bible, and got baptized on September 3rd, 2017. I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to go on a HOPE Youth Corps and I definitely wish to do another in the future.

We are so proud of Zionn and for his sacrifice to serve in Zambia this summer!

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
