Welcome to Mountain Hope!

April 11, 2007

Thanks for dropping by our website. We are proud to be a part of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s initiative called “Together for Hope,” a 20-year commitment to offer hope to people in and around the nation’s 20 poorest counties, all located in rural areas. Some of those counties are in the hills of Eastern Kentucky.

Poverty is an issue many of us like to imagine as being “over there,” in another country with another people. However, when you walk with our partners in Eastern Kentucky, you will discover poverty in your own backyard. For many families in the hills of Eastern Kentucky, grinding poverty is all they have ever known and hope for a better day is in short supply. That’s what we’re about: hope. Our desire is to offer a glimpse of hope for our neighbors in Kentucky’s Appalachia area, and a chance for a brighter day.

I hope you find this website helpful as you think about joining our work in Eastern Kentucky. We’d like to invite you to take a discovery trip to meet our folks in the field and learn how you and/or your church can make the future a little brighter for someone in rural Kentucky.

If we can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to partnering with you to bring hope to the hills!
