Jack and Cherie Minton founded Hope Force International in 2003 based on nearly 25 years of executive leadership experience with international aid. This included work in more than 50 nations with officials at all levels of government, numerous partner agencies, churches, and companies. This created a vision to provide a way for the Christian community to dedicate themselves to crisis relief. Hope Force is dedicated to providing a clear pathway for Christians to become leading responders to the plight of global suffering. While it may seem impossible to account for the "why" of global disasters, we can define our response. Look at Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10: "But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn, and cared for him."

Hope Force offers an online training program to become a disaster relief responder to help those in need during traumatic times. Click here to learn more about the online training program.

Redeem International's mission is to protect widows and orphans from violent abuse and exploitation. Leveraging the love of God's people and the authority of local law enforcement, Redeem serves as a kinsman-redeemer to some of the world's most vulnerable widows and orphans.

In rural Uganda, land is life. A widow's land is her family's primary source of food, shelter, security, income, and social standing. Unfortunately, it is also a highly coveted asset that attracts the attention of violent men. Absent intervention, roughly one in three Ugandan widows and their families will be torn from their homes by violent criminals who want to take the land for themselves. 

Committed to caring for widows and orphans in their distress, Redeem partners with local law enforcement authorities in casework that restores families to their homes, restrains violent criminals, and rehabilitates survivors. Through one case, we return a single family to their home. Through a critical mass of cases, we deter would-be criminals, creating a blanket of protection for all of the widows and orphans in the community so that they can live the life of hope and promise that their Father in Heaven intended them to live.
