About Engaging Hope
Our Mission & Heart
Engaging Hope exists to share the love of Jesus in real and practical ways.
We believe true and lasting hope is found in Christ, and that hope has the power to bring healing, unity, and renewal to individuals, families, and communities.
Our heart is to walk alongside people — building meaningful relationships, meeting practical needs, and creating space for encouragement, prayer, and restoration.
We desire to see lives strengthened and communities impacted by a hope that does not waver.
We believe that through God’s abundant grace, hearts can be filled with unshakable peace and overflowing joy.
As we trust in Him, we rely on the Holy Spirit to guide our steps and shine His light through us — pointing others to the hope that never fades.
Our Story
Engaging Hope was born out of a calling God placed on both of our hearts — a shared desire to follow Jesus and make His hope known through love, service, and relationship. Together, we are committed to serving communities with compassion and faith, trusting God to use both our gifts and our obedience.
While we carry the same mission to share the hope of Jesus, God has uniquely shaped how each of us serves. Stacy often serves on the front lines, speaking encouragement and truth, especially to women and girls, and sharing the deep love the Father has for them. Steven serves primarily behind the scenes, helping steward the vision through leadership, organization, and support, so ministry can happen with care, prayer, and excellence.
We believe God works powerfully through families who say “yes” together. As we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, our desire is to love people well, serve faithfully, and create space for hearts to encounter hope, healing, and the life-changing love of Jesus.
“Now may God, the fountain of Hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in Him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with Hope!” — Romans 15:13 (Passion Translation)
Where God Has Led Us
From the beginning, Engaging Hope has followed where God has called, seeking to share His love in practical and meaningful ways.
Over the years, He has opened doors for ministry in different communities — from supporting local outreach efforts to serving alongside families and missions in Mexico.
Each experience has shaped our hearts, deepened our faith, and strengthened our desire to serve.
Along the way, God led us to the Wind River Reservation, where we have been privileged to connect with families, schools, and the community in ways that point to His hope and love. This has become our primary focus, and we trust Him to continue guiding each step.
We continue to support our friends in Mexico and, Lord willing, hope to return there in the future.
