WHAT IT MEANS:
THE REASON BEHIND THE BIBLICAL
ROOTS OF HOPE FILLED CAFÉ
Romans 15:13 inspires us to spread hope not just through words but through meaningful actions. It's a call to uplift those who are struggling, including the 85% of adults with autism who are unemployed. This statistic is not just a number; it represents individuals with unique talents, perspectives, and aspirations who deserve opportunities to thrive.
Romans 15:13 also reminds us that hope is not just a fleeting emotion but a powerful force that can sustain us through even the darkest of times. It speaks of a hope that comes from believing in something greater than ourselves, a hope that fills us with joy and peace as we trust in divine guidance. This message is especially crucial for those who feel hopeless, lost, or forgotten, as it offers a beacon of light in the midst of despair.
Our mission echoes the HOPE (Helping Others, Promoting Employment) of Romans 15:13 by helping all individuals planting seeds of joy and love that can blossom into a brighter future. Many of today's youth face challenges and obstacles that can seem insurmountable, but through mentorship, education, support, and acceptance, we can empower them to overcome adversity and reach their full potential, helping them build a foundation of confidence and optimism that will guide them towards a better tomorrow, creating a world where every young person feels valued, inspired, and equipped to chase their dreams.
"May the God of HOPE FILL you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit" ~ Romans 15:13
