OUR WORK AND MISSION
We are volunteering at Hope Africa Collective, which is a non-profit organization based in Cape Town, South Africa. Their work is in the township of Philippi in Cape Town, where they bring education and trade-skills to young people to break entire families out of the poverty cycle. As this is a Christian organization, they teach a faith based class to every student who goes through their course. We have had the privilege to help teach the Bible and the basics of Christianity to these students, some hearing for the very first time! To read more about what they do, go to their website at the bottom of this page to learn!
We are also working with our team to pioneer a prayer and worship movement across the city, partnering with local churches and congregations to come together in prayer to see a shift in the city. We have started by praying daily in different areas all over the valley that we live in, but soon to be all over Cape Town! Prayer changes things, and we are believing for His Kingdom to come an His will be done in Cape Town as it is in Heaven!
We have also helped start a missional church called Jesus People. The vision of Jesus People is to be a people that not just meet and worship together, but to go out and do mission and outreach together. To bring Kingdom transformation to a city! The goal is to empower Christians to impact their communities and city through prioritizing God's presence, living a life transformed by the Gospel, and outreach.
We have been given the opportunity to serve in a few more organizations doing work with children in the townships. Morgan is serving at Hannah's place of safety, which is a care home for babies under a year old. They care for these children who have no one else to take care of them, before being old enough to enter the foster system at 1 year old. And we are both serving in another organization by the name of Clever Kids. This program creates a safe place for kids to go after school, helping with school work and speaking into their lives. It is such a privilege it is to get to love on God's children in this way!

The Vision
We envision a movement of revivalists who host the manifest presence of God and raise up compelling disciples who live in presence, formation and mission with Jesus. To catalyze Cape Town into her prophetic destiny as the Mother City of revival in Africa. To be an apostolic movement that births revival and renaissance in all spheres of society and across the nations.
How will it look?
Houses of Prayer
Houses of Prayer across the city in partnership with current local churches that minister to Jesus and contend for revival and transformation in the city,
Missional Communities
Missional Communities that embody the Kingdom in everyday life, and reach out to their region together with the saving love of Jesus. These Groups will partner with local ministries and churches to bring the gospel to every corner of the city.
Ministry School
A School of Ministry that raises disciples and equips revivalists to live and lead in God’s power and love, and take the gospel to "all the world."
We believe in ending poverty through empowerment and opportunity.
"In 2009, Jeremy and Bridget Hilliard co-founded Hope Africa Collective. The vision? To end poverty, not through hand-outs and charity but through empowerment and opportunity. While some organizations focus on one aspect of need in an impoverished community, Hope Africa Collective has a multifaceted approach that helps the whole person. Because poverty is complex, so are we. The combination of education, economic development, spiritual formation, and life development is impacting individuals and communities in transformative ways."
