Hope of a Nation didn't start with a strategy. It started with a stirring in Jason and Susan Collmorgen's hearts — and grew, over years and an ocean, into a ministry built together by believers from two worlds.
From late 2009 to mid-2010, Jason and Susan served as interim directors of a large ministry base in Dondo, Mozambique. During that season, they built deep relationships with the Mozambican leaders serving at the base while also getting to know many of the boys who called it home. Those relationships became the seeds from which God would later grow Hope of a Nation.
The Lord begins stirring in Susan's heart a longing to draw nearer to Him. As she and Jason seek Him together, He moves in their lives in unmistakable ways — a quiet beginning that would change everything.
After a powerful prompting from the Lord, they took their first mission trip to India and Sri Lanka, where God began revealing in them a calling to the nations. Only months later, they sold everything they owned and traveled to Mozambique for a two-month missions school —not knowing what would come next, but trusting the One who had called them. It was a step of faith and surrender.
Asked to serve as interim directors of one of that ministry's largest bases in Mozambique, they learn in practice how to be His hands and feet to a hurting world. A season back in the U.S. follows — but the seeds He planted never stop growing.
Prompted by the Lord, they take a short trip back to Mozambique to see what He was doing there — watering the seeds He had planted in their hearts years before.
Returning just after Cyclone Idai, Jason receives a dream of a multi-faceted ministry overflowing with hope. He shares it with their closest Mozambican friends — family, really — and their response came without hesitation: "Great. Let's get started." Hope of a Nation is born, American and Mozambican believers building it together.
From that one root grew children's ministry, education sponsorship, medical outreach, Bible distribution, the farm, and orphan care — which now reaches into Zambia. The story is still being written, and it is still, at its heart, about relationship
