Background
The idea for Hope 08 came after the success of local urban renewal campaigns in previous years such as Message 2000, Merseyfest, Chesterfest, Festival:Manchester and Soul in the City in London in 2004. Hope 08 aims to unite churches and Christian organisations on a national scale for a campaign that will (at least under the banner of Hope 08) last for a year, rather than a few weeks as in case of Soul in the City etc...
Founders and Supporters
Hope 08 was conceived by three founders: Youth for Christ director Roy Crowne, Mike Pilavachi (of Soul Survivor) and Andy Hawthorne (The Message Trust). These three men are working with Steve Clifford (Pioneer Network) and a small leadership team to turn the vision behind Hope 08 into a reality.
Hope 08 has the support of several well-known MPs, senior Police officers, the Church of England and the UK Roman Catholic Church, the Elim Pentecostal Church, the Evangelical Alliance, the Baptist World Alliance, the Alpha course and over 100 organisations and denominations.
