The members of the HOPE<em> worldwide <\/em>and Benevolence Committee have played an important role in forging greater unity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This unity is forged through their support and service by continuing to meet together on a quarterly basis and active email exchanges of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Committee is very thankful to the churches and all the saints for their tireless efforts on behalf of the poor. HOPE&nbsp;<em>worldwide&nbsp;<\/em>has been regularly featured in regional conferences and leadership gatherings. We pray that together we can achieve even greater things in serving the poor in the coming year. We are organized in three Subcommittee\u2019s, and can report the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"i-church-relations-subcommittee-report\">I.&nbsp;Church Relations Subcommittee Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"international-day-of-giving\">International Day of Giving:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2011 Update<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2011 Church giving exceeded $1.1 Million for unrestricted giving \u2013 a more than $250,000 increase from 2010. More than $2.5 million was given combined unrestricted and restricted (including Abidjan) from churches and their members. New York, Chicago, LA and Boston were a huge part of this increase as we focused on the Top 4 churches this past year for giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2012 Plans<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International Day of Giving will take place on Sunday, November 18, 2012. Plans include continued focus on Top 4 churches as well as the next top 12 in terms of membership numbers. There will be a more comprehensive view of church giving (from members, churches, disaster, restricted and unrestricted) to help churches feel successful and honored for their sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We want to help churches feel successful this year in an incredible way. We will not be emphasizing the $52\/member number per se \u2013 we want to open the floodgates and allow churches to push for whatever they believe they can give. We will need to further discuss how to communicate this to churches and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"church-communications\">Church Communications:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Randy Jordan, Antonio Boyd and Mandy Jordan presented to the Evangelist Service Team in Miami (March 19-20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 HOPE worldwide has an opportunity to present at the International Leadership Conference portion of the World Discipleship Summit in San Antonio.

In each of these situations, the Protocol was effective in identifying the appropriateness and extent of the response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan- regional response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Zealand- no response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bangkok- regional response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USA- local response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philippines- regional response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indonesia- local response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ivory Coast- global response<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"for-2012\">FOR 2012<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles Ham, the HOPE ww representative on this sub-committee, will be working on the Global Disaster Response (GDR) service division based in Jakarta. The plan for the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GDR is to identify the 10 most vulnerable nations to disaster and help build their ability to respond effectively to disasters and to help them build partnerships with entities that will assist them in this endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles will be conducting a Disaster Response Capacity Building Workshop on Monday July 9 at the WDS in San Antonio. This will be open to all international HOPE and church leaders. Currently, HOPE has a plan to focus disaster response works in Haiti, Ivory Coast, Japan, and Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to the possibility of the Evangelists Committee approving the establishment of a Disaster Relief Fund, Mark Templer and Charles Ham have some ideas on how to establish a Protocol for the disbursement of these funds. If this is approved, we as a sub-committee are willing to be part of the discussion on creating said Protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Causey (chair) \u2013 Los Angeles, CA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Templer (co-chair) \u2013 New Delhi, India<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug Arthur \u2013 Boston, MA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Brush \u2013 Miami, FL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert Carrillo \u2013 San Diego, CA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herve Fleurant \u2013 San Antonio, TX<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darren Gauthier \u2013 Chicago, IL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bill Hooper \u2013 Dallas, TX<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gregg Marutzky \u2013 Omaha, NE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ray Nadon \u2013 Anchorage, AK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JP Tynes \u2013 Orlando, FL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheridan Wright \u2013 New York, NY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antonio Boyd (HOPEww) \u2013 Columbia, SC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles Ham (HOPEww) \u2013 Jakarta, Indonesia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mandy Jordan (HOPEww) \u2013 Philadelphia, PA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Randy Jordan (HOPEww) \u2013 Philadelphia, PA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout 2012 we have seen the unity between ICOC churches and HOPE worldwide continue to grow and strengthen in incredible&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[71,387],"tags":[62],"post_folder":[357],"class_list":["post-205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-leadership","tag-hopeww"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Sunday Awolowo","author_link":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/author\/sawolowo\/"},"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phsvEw-3j","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":460,"url":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/2013-hopeww-and-benevolence-committee-report\/","url_meta":{"origin":205,"position":0},"title":"2013 HOPEww and Benevolence Committee Report","author":"Sunday Awolowo","date":"February 4, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"Throughout 2013 we continued to see greater unity between ICOC churches and HOPE\u00a0worldwide\u00a0growing and strengthening in incredible ways.\u00a0The members of the HOPE\u00a0worldwide\u00a0and Benevolence Committee have played an important role in forging greater unity by meeting together on a quarterly basis and active email exchanges of information.
