I wanna pursue it in the way the Lord is leading me and calling me to serve him and serve the bigger picture. Maybe that's making sandwiches every day. Maybe that's doing research that gets published and maybe it’s not, I don't know. I am just trying to follow Him. I think it's really important to seek the ways in which the Lord is calling you in the form of justice and to make sure that you are always seeking the dignity of those around you… Jesus’s kingdom is always advanced through love and peace and never through destruction and violence.” (Smith E., interview, July …show more content…

Their ministry aligns with the basic principles of CDV in the way that they value image-bearers for their identity found in Christ. One Hope is aligned with CDV ministry design principles in the way they seek to bring the kingdom to earth through Shalom and the local-church. “Community proceeds work” is a principle from CDV 210 that One Hope embodies.

I believe that One Hope could serve their community in a deeper way by implementing some of these practices, but I also understand that it is complicated to work as a non-profit organization solely funded by grants and donations. According to their staff, there are a lot of questions in the air about what the best use of One Hopes’s resources are right now. This is encouraging and provides us with hope for the future of One Hope and the long-term effectiveness of their

  • The Salvation Army's Immense Impact

    According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, the Salvation Army has “changed a number of lives of those who were homeless” and the homeless people that have no jobs transfer to the people who have jobs now and have a stable future ahead of them (McKinley). The Salvation Army can change a person’s way of life and the person who has gone through this rough patch of their life, can enjoy what life was really meant for once again, to be happy and joyous. If one person can change one person’s life forever, think about how many more lives can be positively affected if everyone else in America donated money to the Salvation Army. According to the organization of the Salvation Army, there is a new project they have started up to help the homeless, which is called “Project Hope. Project Hope stands for Homeless Outreach to Place and Empower and this project has helped hundreds of people every year”
