Hope

Many in the world--including the 10-20% of 2+ billion regularly church-going Christians--do not have or understand the hope for all mankind that God has set forth in His plan. Many believe, if God exists, He must be a cruel and angry god, but we know that His plan includes opportunity for everyone who has ever lived to join Him in His family.
