Hope Story Challenge Goes Viral with Goal to Reach One Billion People with the Gospel"This is not just for young people. I have seen older Australian's fired up for the Gospel after sharing their Hope Story online. The afterburn effect of the Hope Story Challenge is massive!" -Warwick Marsh, Canberra Declaration
Watch the Hope Story Challenge video here "Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation." Mark 16:15 Covid-19 has caused our way of life to be flipped on its head. People are losing their income, Churches are in lockdown, people are stuck at home. Now more than ever the world needs hope, and they are glued to the internet, searching for just that. Young people are spending more than 3 hours a day on their devices. Social media use is skyrocketing. Online entertainment is in demand. The world is looking for connection and meaning and hope, but they will only find this when they find Jesus. Introducing the #HopeStory Challenge. A challenge asking people to share their 60 second Hope Story, or Testimony of how they met Christ, on their social media channel, and then challenge 5 others to do the same. The Challenge was launched on May 1st, in partnership with Global Outreach Day, and fueled by prayer from the Canberra Declaration Community. The Australian Youth for Christ team could have never imagined this simple idea could get so much traction. Thousands of Hope Story videos have now been shared in almost 50 countries, reaching well over a million people already. Our goal is to see at least 5 million Christians share their Hope Story online. If we did this, we would reach 1 billion people with a message of Hope! Already we are hearing stories of people getting saved through this challenge. This is one challenge that can change someone's eternity forever. "Who better to reach a young person than their own peers? And where better to reach them than where they are, online." -Cindy McGarvie, National Director, Youth for Christ Australia "Every Believer can do this, and every Believer has a Hope Story, share yours today." -Pat Steele, Pulse 94.1. "This is not just for young people. I have seen older Australian's fired up for the Gospel after sharing their Hope Story online. The afterburn effect of the Hope Story Challenge is massive!" Warwick Marsh- Canberra Declaration. "With youth spending more than 3 hours on their phones each day, we have an opportunity to get the Gospel right into their hands through social media. We are asking the world to take the Hope Story Challenge."- Andrew Scarborough, Ministry Director, Youth for Christ Australia Instructions for a #HopeStory Step 1.
