Freedom from Bondage - Hope Manasseh

Hope is a survivor of human trafficking and ritual abuse.  She dislikes both labels, but recognize their effectiveness in sharing her story and communicating the love of Christ. After breaking free at age thirty, she has spent the past nine-teen years healing. Christ found and saved her fifteen years ago! Hope has chosen to follow Christ because His unfailing love proved that her captors' lies were false, her hope has been restored, and HE has redeemed her scars. He has demonstrated over and over His love, mercy, and sovereignty, which compells her to go deeper into the relationship and pursue Him with passion. The result is a deeply personal and intimate relationship with God, a unique perspective on life, and a passion to share the power of Christ to redeem and His desire to restore.

Hope is a passionate, engaging, and creative teacher, mentor, speaker, and author. She has served as Children’s Ministry leader, Youth Pastor, and Sunday School Director. She continues to wear many hats, but her favorite roles are Nana, teacher, and mentor. Her testimony naturally challenges people to expand their faith and believe for the impossible, while demonstrating God’s limitless ability to handle our obstacles and messes regardless of how big.
