A Peak at the Hope Center
By Dr. Mark DenisonThe Hope Center, located in Plano, Texas, is the ultimate example of what Revival in Our Time Ministries stands for – ministries helping ministries. Under the leadership of Stan Keith and his incredible team, The Hope Center is a model of how global ministry and partnership is supposed to work. By housing over 40 international ministries in a world class facility at great discounts, The Hope Center provides a financial blessing to each participant. Additionally, joint resources such as a chapel, soon to be remodeled, provide fellowship, encouragement, and cooperation.
It's hard to grasp the idea of 40-plus ministries housed in one place. So let’s consider just five of those ministries. For more information on these ministries, or any of the others affiliated with The Hope Center, visit their website, at thehopecenter.org.
Operation 220
