Since 2017, Living Hope has been sending members on on mission trips to Brazil. These trips are focused on visiting a small town called Coivaras in the state of Piaui. It’s an extremely poor area where Jesus has not been shared and Bibles are scarce. It’s been our honor to witness to this community in various ways.
While in Brazil, we have nightly services in different community settings, provide Bible Schools for children, make door-to-door visits sharing the gospel of Christ, and work with Pastor Jardel and his wife Regis to visit members and prospective members to help build the church. Our church members sing or give testimonies and Bro. Darrell preaches sermons (with a translator) in hopes that what we share will lead someone to Christ.
Our church has also given monetary donations to help provide homes with Portuguese Bibles or Portuguese bookmarks and to help acquire land and build a building in which they are now worshiping! They decided to name their new church Living Hope Baptist Church of Coivaras after our church here.

Living Hope along with other partners (HCA and Gracey West Union this past year) host a summer day camp at Camp Crossway in Blackburn, OK similar to VBS for ages Kindergarten through 5th grade. We have Bible study, crafts, music and recreation. We take a kitchen crew to help feed around 75-85 campers each day a light breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack before busing the children back home. Children are bused in from 3 surrounding towns as far as 45 minutes from Camp Crossway. 
We serve many Otoe and Pawnee Native American children along with several local children from the area. Our team also works on projects for the camp. Some youth from our group helped to build a pavilion and deck on our 2022 trip. Living Hope and our partners fund all expenses for the week long camp. Our mission in Oklahoma is to develop caring relationships with the children and show them the love of Christ and teach them the gospel.
