It’s time for an Advent countdown! Pope Francis has announced that the 2025 Jubilee Year will focus on one powerful theme- Hope. In preparation for this special year, he has asked us to pray and prepare our hearts throughout 2024.
And with all the Christmas chaos…. a little extra dose of hope in the weeks of Advent could be just what we all need! Chalice’s #Hope24 will be a 24-day ‘Masterclass’ of hope found in the wisdom of the children in our sites around the world.
We have chosen 24 children to provide us with hope, who have been waiting to be sponsored. Our sponsor site staff asked these children one simple yet powerful question- What brings you hope?
Their responses are in! We will be providing their daily #Hope24 lessons throughout this Advent season. Each day we will reveal a new child with their hope insight. Our Masterclass is officially in session and there are no better teachers in our ‘crash course of hope’ than children. It’s not too late to Sign Up Click Here!
To catch you up on the first four days, here’s some of the hope-filled wisdom shared by our young teachers:
Day 1 – Patience
“My biggest hope is becoming a teacher. My teacher, who is also visually impaired, inspires me.”
Day 2 – Mercy
“Seeing those who have been sponsored before and who have completed school and achieved their dreams makes me hopeful and excited about my future.”
Day 3 – Euzabius
“The best thing about my life is having the opportunity to study hard.”
Day 4 – Wildavsky
“What makes me feel hopeful about my life is that I believe Jesus is my saviour.”
We have 20 more days lined up and can’t wait to share them with you. Join us in spreading hope this Advent season and make a lasting impact that will be felt all year long!
Spread hope to a child living in poverty today through the sponsorship of one of our #Hope24 children.
