The Restore Hope office and staff serve churches within the Restore Hope network. While each church is autonomous in its sending efforts, we realize that there are many things we can share that make mission sending easier and help us steward our resources better. As the sending base for missions, the church should be highly involved in the process of preparing, strategizing, supporting and caring for the people it sends to serve. The Restore Hope office serves as a resource center and service provider that assists the church in responsible mission sending.
Missional maturity for the local church is a process. That is why we offer services for the duration of the journey. Whether your church is taking first steps or is actually sending people into cross-cultural contexts, Restore Hope is with you every step of the way!
Affinity/Strategic Networking
Restore Hope wants to help you get connected to other network churches and partners working among the same people group, in the same geographic region or who share a heart for the same cause. We believe the global church is more effective in its gospel efforts when we work and plan together with those we know and trust. As a gospel community, there is much we can share in terms of knowledge, experience, skill and resources. Let us help you get connected to those with the same passion, please contact us for more information!
Consultation/Coaching
The Restore Hope network is rich with highly experienced individuals who can help your church find its way to effective mission involvement. Missionaries, church planters, missiologists, missions ministers and trained staff provide consultation and coaching for churches.

Church to Church Mentoring
The Restore Hope network of churches are committed to assist one another in the missions journey. Let us connect you to a similar church that may be a little further down the missions path to assist you in your missions processes. For more information on Church to Church Mentoring, contact us.
Legal Advisement
Legal and Contingency Advisement – In an age of rapid change, mission innovations sometimes get ahead of planning and infrastructure. Coupled with a church’s obedience to its missions calling is evaluation of the realities of liability, contingency planning, adherence to U.S. law as well as the laws in the country of focus. Attorneys within the Restore Hope network offer consultation at a reduced fee to churches preparing to send their people into cross-cultural ministries.
