Faith-Based
Hope Now is a Christian, faith-based emergency rescue team dedicated to transforming the lives of young men aged 16-39 involved in gangs or with criminal records. Rooted by 30 years of experience, Hope Now relies on Christian ethical values and the transformative power of the gospel to guide men towards a hopeful future.
We believe that true life change comes through long-term relationships based on love, help, and understanding, as modeled in the Bible.
Motivated by the “golden rule” to love our neighbors, we present Jesus Christ as the hope for eternal life, God as a caring heavenly Father, and the Church as a supportive family.
Hope Now relies on God’s strength for two endeavors:
- Commitment to providing unconditional support and opportunities for gainful employment
- Preventing young men from falling into prison, addiction, or death, and offering better path
