Missionary and evangelist Bob Hoskins founded Book of Hope in 1987 when he was asked by El Salvador s Minister of Education to provide God s Word to all of the country's 986,000 school children.

Book of Hope's mission is to affect destiny by providing God s eternal Word to all the children and youth of the world.

The Book of Hope, a chronological and harmonized version of the four Gospels telling the story of the life of Jesus, is the evangelistic tool used in accomplishing the mission of reaching the children and youth of the world.

Students are presented with the Book of Hope in their school either after an assembly presentation or in their individual classrooms.

To date, over 480 million copies of the Book of Hope have already been distributed to students in over 125 different countries.

In 2007, over 64 million children and youth will receive their copy of God's Word, the Book of Hope.

It only costs 30p to reach one needy child with the Book of Hope.

In communities where there is no established church, Book of Hope assists the local believers in planting a church.

Students and their families are personally invited to the evening HopeFests and evangelistic crusades to hear the gospel message and firsthand testimonies of the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Follow-up reveals that entire families are discovering the hope of Jesus Christ through just one copy of the Book of Hope.

As the going arm of Book of Hope, Affect Destiny Teams (ADT) help fulfill the Great Commission! The mission of ADT is to reach every child with God s Word. Believers who are part of ADT cross continents and personally deliver God's Word - in the form of the Book of Hope - to students who may have never heard of the Gospel before.

Affect Destiny Teams are an effective, relevant approach to mission trips and offer a variety of options in the form of Impact Teams (short-term missions for groups of 10 or more), Nomad Teams (Internship programs of 3-4 months) or Response Teams (Book of Hope full-time missionaries).
