Hope of a Nation to host ‘Giving Hope’ ministry event in Branson

Hope of a Nation invites the community to “Giving Hope,” a 12-hour ministry marathon and fundraising event planned for Friday, May 30, at Grace Community Assembly in Branson. This powerful event will begin at 12 noon and end at 12 midnight, and will be livestreamed worldwide, bringing together thousands of people in worship, prayer and generosity to support vital ministry projects. 

The theme “Giving Hope” conveys the dual purpose of ministering to all who participate and raising crucial funds for changing lives. In addition to supporting ongoing orphan care, educational assistance and medical outreach programs, Hope of a Nation fundraisers support sustainability projects, a community center in Mozambique for feeding hungry children, a water tower to provide running water for a large orphanage in Uganda, and other life-changing initiatives that help bring hope to those in need. 

The ministry marathon event will feature an inspiring lineup, including—

• Speakers and pastors sharing messages of faith and hope; 

• Live worship and performances led by Christian/gospel musicians; 

• Testimonies from individuals whose lives have been transformed through relationship with Jesus Christ; 

• A late-night prayer gathering uniting believers worldwide in guided prayer. 

Get involved in this powerful time of ministry and giving in one of several ways: 

• Attend in person at Grace Community Assembly, 3101 Gretna Rd., Branson; the gathering is free and open to all;

• Attend online via the livestream; 

• Donate financially to help impact lives worldwide, especially the impoverished, vulnerable and marginalized; 

• Spread the word by inviting others. 

“This event is about more than just fundraising,” said Jason Collmorgen, event organizer and Executive Director of Hope of a Nation. “It’s about bringing people together in faith, encouraging them, and showing them the transformative power and hope we have in Christ.” 

About Hope of a Nation 

Hope of a Nation is an international ministry based in Taney County, Missouri, dedicated to transforming lives through faith, outreach and humanitarian efforts. From providing food and education to orphaned children to launching sustainability projects, Hope of a Nation is committed to making a lasting impact. 

The story of Hope of a Nation is one of divine calling and God’s timing. In 2009, Jason and Susan Collmorgen first set foot in Mozambique for a two-month mission school that turned into a six-month assignment serving as interim directors of a ministry center overseeing food distribution, a small orphanage and a regional Bible school. They formed deep bonds with the people, never expecting that nearly a decade later, the Lord would call them back. In 2019, with no agenda except obeying God’s prompting, they returned, arriving in South Africa as a historic cyclone struck Mozambique. Cut off from their friends, they acted as an informal communication hub while waiting, praying and gathering supplies. Using personal funds originally intended for a vehicle, they helped provide food for 250 families before actually being able to reenter the country.

When Jason finally flew in, he found those dear friends devastated but still full of faith. Using the cash in his pocket, he purchased bread and gathered local believers to distribute it to communities still untouched by aid. Medical outreaches followed, targeting a rise in malaria cases. Then, during a Sunday service, children gathered to pray that God would give Jason and Susan a vision of what He wanted them to do. Days later, Jason received a vivid dream of a thriving, multi-faceted ministry meeting physical and spiritual needs. After much prayer, they shared the vision with their Mozambican friends, who recognized and confirmed it as God’s timing. Upon returning to the U.S., they established Hope of a Nation, and continue to be committed to obedience and service as God directs.
