Wild Hope 2026 End Of Year Message

A look back at the year from Wild Hope Director Peter Russell

Greetings from Arusha!

We were warned about terrible rains this season, the El Niño kind, but instead, though big rain may still come, so far it’s been hot and dry. Out on the Wild Hope land though, the jacaranda and coral trees are blooming purple and red, as bright as ever. That’s because the ground is still saturated from the rains that fell between January and early June. The deep roots drank deeply, and they’re still drawing on that supply.

That vivid picture has been on our minds as we have recounted all the Father did through Wild Hope’s ministries in 2026. As a celebration of His goodness we would like to take you on a visual journey over the next few weeks so you can get a more complete picture of the “height and depth and width and breadth” of all God is doing here. 

We’ll start with two video vignettes below.

The first video is me framing the highs and lows of our 2026 journey and the intriguing testimonies to come.

The second is a touching story from Jared Hood, who provides member care for Tanzanian pastors and Chrisitan workers reaching the unreached.

Jared’s Story

In this video, Jared describes how the Holy Spirit beautifully touched one Tanzanian pastor and his wife during a time of stillness and quiet at Wild Hope.

Thank you for being part of what’s growing here through your prayers and faithful support. 

Thank you too for prayerfully considering a special year-end gift to help Wild Hope disciple the nations.

We couldn’t do it without you!

Blessings!
