What is New Hope Girls?
New Hope is a safe house and workshop in the Dominican Republic, pouring into the lives of girls and women, giving them HOPE when there is none. They are a light in a dark place, providing a safe home for girls, as well as an honorable way to work for women in the community.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

How am I connected to this ministry?
Back in 2014 I hopped on an airplane after graduating college and headed to the Dominican Republic. One of the families I taught while living there started an organization called New Hope, with the goal of creating a refuge and restoring the lives of girls in the Dominican Republic. As I was living there, I got many opportunities to go to New Hope and visit.
One day when I was visiting we went for a walk and played in a nearby park. I would bring games and crafts to do with the girls. One day our home school group got to go paint the building that would become the new home for the girls. I’ve had the opportunity to even teach Bible journaling classes to the girls.
Their stories broke my hearts. Several of my friends worked at New Hope and we would spend hours praying over the girls and the caretakers. My heart broke for their home lives; oftentimes their own families putting them in unsafe situations in order to earn money. I saw light and love in the middle of darkness through serving with New Hope.
Back in 2018, I began to pray about Giving Tuesday. I felt a nudge on my heart that God wanted me to do to use Creative Faith to serve Him more. I have adopted New Hope as our Creative Faith ministry. In 2019 I had my first profitable year for the business, and I was able to donate 10% of Creative Faith profits back to New Hope! Your purchases are helping save lives in another country. How amazing is that?!

It comes with the phrase “praying for” with different ways to finish the sentence including: new hope, light in the darkness, joy, trust, God’s provision, protection, etc. It also has the phrase “I will” as you think and pray about how does God want you to help and support this ministry.

Check out the first free printable I made for New Hope below. It has a space to journal prayers for New Hope. I also included a verse card with their key scripture: 1 Peter 2:9
“For you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light. ”
