Hope Unleashed

Committed to bringing the Christian message to young people in his hometown of Manchester, Andy Hawthorne was shocked when a missions partner told him he shouldn t just preach the gospel but also engage in community projects. It worked. The Message Trust has been recognized internationally as bringing hope and change to the roughest, poorest neighborhoods of Manchester. And it got him thinking: What, exactly, should the priority of the church be? Should it be the lamp on a stand bold, unashamed gospel proclamation to as many as possible? Or should it be more salt and yeast serving and blessing the vulnerable and the marginalized, with no questions asked? The answer, of course, is both. Christians who truly want to follow Jesus should explain the good news with words but also make sure to demonstrate the gospel through what s been described as random acts of kindness. Written in a passionate, nonreligious style, Hope Unleashed is filled with moving true stories and practical ideas and strategies for Christian mission based on word and deed.
