We are American and Mozambican brothers and sisters in Christ, with a heart to see God's love transform our communities and nations.
Hope of a Nation is a non-denominational Christian ministry rooted in relationship and committed to the belief that lasting change begins within the communities we serve.
Our mission is to build relationships, help people understand their identity in Christ, make disciples, and bring hope to the lost and hurting around the world.
We carry out that mission by discipling and empowering godly leaders through education, skills training, and sustainable community initiatives. Rather than offering temporary aid and then leaving, we walk alongside local leaders for the long haul — equipping them to bring hope, dignity, and lasting change to their own communities as the hands and feet of Christ.
In 2008, a quiet stirring in Susan Collmorgen's heart became a calling to the nations. Within a year she and Jason had sold everything to serve in Mozambique — and in 2019, after God planted the vision through a dream, they founded Hope of a Nation together with their Mozambican family. Today the work spans children's ministry, the farm, education, medical outreach, and church support in Mozambique, and reaches into Zambia.

Meet the full teamRelief meets a need today. Discipleship, dignity, and local leadership change what tomorrow looks like. Our philosophy holds both together.
Everything begins with the hope of Jesus. Discipleship isn't a program alongside the work — it's the reason for it, giving direction and identity to all we do.
The people closest to the need lead the work. We come alongside trusted leaders in the countries we serve rather than imposing solutions from outside.
We respond to urgent needs, but we measure success by what endures — farms that feed, students who graduate, and churches that disciple their own communities.
Education and skills training create opportunity and self-reliance. The goal is always a community strengthened from within — not one dependent on an organization or the West.
Trust is built over years, not weeks.
Real updates and gifts used as promised.
We seek God first in every decision we make.
As a non-denominational ministry, we hold to the historic essentials that unite believers across traditions — the authority of Scripture; one God in three persons; the deity, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; salvation by grace through faith; and the Church's call to make disciples of all nations.
