‘Our world is wondering; will darkness and evil prevail? Will poverty just increase? Will violence and war persist? Will marriages keep breaking up? Will depression continue robbing people of joy? Does it have to end like this? In Christ, it most certainly doesn’t have to end like this.’

Nicky Gumbel writes: ‘We steward the only message on planet earth that can give people what their hearts need most, which is hope. Hope that sins can be forgiven. Hope that prayers can be answered. Hope that doors of opportunity, that seemed locked, can be opened. Hope that broken relationships can be reconciled. Hope that diseased bodies can be healed. Hope that damaged trust can be restored. Hope that dead churches can be resurrected … Of all people, we must claim that hope, and live in it and radiate it to others. And we must proclaim that message of hope to everyone God gives us the opportunity to influence.’
