I Hope We Win The Lottery?

wristbandWinning the lottery would be much easier than fundraising.

Just buy a few tickets, hope for the magic numbers, and we could support the kids at the HOME OF HOPE forever. We could buy them a new building, give raises to the staff…the list is endless. All we have to do is hope.

It’s right here on these spiffy wristbands we wear: HOPE changes what’s possible.

If we all just have enough hope…

Except, of course, that’s not the sort of hope we’re talking about. That hope is really more like a wish. We may wish to win the lottery, but we don’t expect it to happen because wishes aren’t based on anything substantial. Jiminy Cricket sang wistfully, “When you wish upon a star…” but I don’t want to base the fate of our 22 kids on the advice of a bug.

When I claim HOPE changes what’s possible I’m using HOPE in a radically different manner.

HOPE is a confident expectation based on faith that God keeps His promises

hope stoneNot a wish, not a fantasy, but confidence about the long-term future based on the assurance of God’s promises. And I absolutely believe that as we move forward in humility with that sort of confident expectation, all kinds of opportunities await. Hope truly does change what’s possible.

But God didn’t promise we would win the lottery, no matter how hard we wish or how noble our cause.

Jesus did promise to partner with us as we seek justice for the 22 kids at the HOME OF HOPE who’ve been rescued from the horrors of sex trafficking. So in 31 days our 17-person FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR team will take off from Cheyenne, Wyoming. We’ll cycle 500 miles in 8 days to help those 22 kids live in hope and freedom.
