RETREAT & TRAINING CENTER

Home has always been the base from which we operate and hospitality is a normal part of how we live.  God has provided Wild Hope with 27 beautiful acres in Tanzania.  Since 2013 we have been expressing our love of contemplative listening prayer, soul care, and discipleship in actual brick and mortar as we develop our Retreat and Training Center; a place for worship, prayer, retreat, training, renewal and community.  From this beautiful base 20 minutes from Arusha town we host training seminars and volunteer teams, as well as healing prayer with small groups and individuals.

As the Lord provides, we will build permanent staff housing, a central gathering space and guest cottages to house teams and those attending seminars, retreats and prayer initiatives.  God-honoring agricultural methods that help local farmers increase the yield of their land.  We have big dreams for this small piece of Africa.

Wild Hope – Going Deep

Deep Discipleship

My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you
-Galatians 4:19

When a discipleship model is not reaching where folks actually dwell emotionally… where they live relationally, where they hide their shortcomings… you miss seeing Christ fully formed in them. Behavior and obedience-oriented discipleship models fall short. They produce servants and sin cycles. But relational models based on the love of the Father produce sons and daughters secure in love and fearless in mission.

Wild Hope – Going FAR

“Go and make disciples of all the nations” –Mathew 28:19a

When we experience the love of the Father and realize our position as beloved sons and daughters we cannot help but become passionate about joining the Father in His mission to reach those who have not yet been reached.  Sons and daughters want to do what the Father is doing and the Father is on a mission …a mission to see all tongues, tribes, and nations come home.

Sons and Daughters go further than servants ever could.  They are in love!

Many people think that if the Gospel has been preached within the bounds of a nation state, the nation is reached.  But Jesus instructed His followers to “make disciples” of the ethnos.  In the Greek New Testament ethnos means a tribe, race, or people group.  One of the original meanings was “those of the same habit”.  It means groups of people who share the same cultural patterns and/or language.  This may be a tribe or it may be a culturally cohesive demographic. 

Building Maware Church
Solomon and Sarah are the first Maasai discipled by Wild hope to plant churches cross-culturally. In this video Sarah shares about the growth of their church in Maware.

Solomon shares how the Holy Spirit helped him begin a relationship with a member of the unreached Safwa tribe.
