THE MISSION STATEMENT
Hope Alive Trust aims to practically share God's undying love with the world, as such raising the hope of those who are vulnerable, and inspiring others with this love.
THE VISION
Job 17:15 – “Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can see it?” (NKJV) Luke 14:12-14 – “Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbours, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”” (NKJV)
Job 14:14 – “If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes.” (NKJV)
Our passion is to help make hope seen and make dreams real in any way we can, no matter how little it may seem, in the lives of those who have been browbeaten and made vulnerable by life’s harsh circumstances mainly in the UK and Africa (as stated in the objects of the Charity). We aim to accomplish this by:
-
Organising medical missionary and mission trips.
-
Helping to set-up and equip orphanages.
-
Helping to construct water bore-holes for communities which lack clean water.
-
Setting up and equipping basic health clinics for communities which do not have access to medical care.
• Giving to meet individual’s dire needs. (‘Dire needs’ may be expenditure arising from illness, accident, emergency or family difficulties, unexpected living expenses e.g. exceptional need for equipment, exceptional educational expenses)
- And other means by which God shall enable us.
Trustees are chosen based on the Christian faith and integrity.

HAT members took Christmas joy to the old people's home in Chatham in December 2024 and shared the message of joy and peace of the season with residents and staff, through singing, prayers, and Christmas gifts. It was indeed a joyous time.
