ABOUT SEWHOPE

SEWHOPE EXISTS TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS CHRIST TO SERVE THE POOR.

We will partner with the poor, marginalized, and exploited in Guatemala to help end the injustices of poverty and bring about sustainable communities. We envision communities and individuals transformed by the love of God and equipped with the skills and tools needed to self-determine their futures. 

Following the command of Jesus Christ to serve the poor, we commit to care for and love the people we serve as though they are our intimate brothers and sisters. We will work to empower them to envision their own self-development as they break free of the dehumanizing cycle of extreme poverty and create a world of hope where equality exists; where people may become all that God intended for them to be.  In order to avoid dependency and paternalism,  all activities, strategies, planning, decision-making, and monitoring of projects will be shaped by the local people and their culture as we approach each other one person at a time. We will respect and be accountable to each other as we seek to achieve self-defined visions and objectives. Furthermore, we recognize that by working together to reconcile a divided world, we are helping to eradicate other types of human poverty, suffering, isolation, and oppression faced by rich and poor alike.

NORTHPOINT + SEWHOPE

This year we are partnering with SewHope to feed 20,000 families who are in severe poverty. We need about 100 volunteers to make this event possible. Together we can be a part of extending the love of Jesus in a tangible way through providing food to those in need, and Changing The World!

The event is Saturday, September 30 from 9:00am-12:00pm and we will break serving up into 2 teams: Set Up and Packing teams. We are asking the setup team to serve from 7:30-9:00am and the packing team from 9:00am-12:00pm. If you want to be there for all of it, you can choose both. Please sign up individually so we can get an accurate count!
