The team will be&nbsp;sharing the hope of Christ through this medical mission trip.&nbsp; They will be conducting medical camps, providing hygiene &amp; birthing kits, ministering in prisons &amp; orphanages, and providing nutrition to the impoverished and malnourished villages. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their mission is simply this: So the poor have hope and injustice shuts her mouth. Job 5:16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director Cindy Young had a vision in 2013 that would develop into \u201cThis is Hope.\u201d Since that time, her organization has built an orphanage, constructed houses for the elderly and dug 2 wells for the desolate villages.&nbsp; This is Hope provides ongoing medical care and financial support for surgeries and treatments for illnesses such as tuberculosis, malaria and cancer.&nbsp; They have also provided a van to transport patients to obtain medical help who couldn\u2019t otherwise get to the medical centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what promoted her to start this ministry, Cindy replied, \u201cThey needed more than child sponsorship. They needed help for the family as a whole.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow their journey at: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ThisIsHopeInc\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find them at: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.thisishope.net\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>caption: Pictured left to right: Lisa Durre, Stephanie Lloyd, Cindy Young, Amber Grant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four area women are traveling nearly 15,000 miles to deliver hope.&nbsp; This Is Hope, a local missions based non-profit, is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":32975,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6,2301],"tags":[7412,5778,5392,12873],"class_list":["post-32974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-churches","category-community","category-general-news","tag-africa","tag-churches","tag-mission-trip","tag-uganda"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Hope-project.jpeg?fit=666%2C396&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2YQd9-8zQ","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 11:36:52","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
