Living Hope International

Living Hope International Rescuing Children - Training Leaders. Director Jerry McNally Jerry and Susy McNally founded Living Hope International in 1999.

Originally from Minnesota, they had lived in Oaxaca, Mexico for seven years, planting churches and developing leadership in remote, indigenous villages before moving to Puebla, Mexico in 1994. There, an encounter with a boy living on the streets changed the course of their ministry as they felt God challenging their hearts and their faith. This led them to begin Esperanza Viva Youth Home in Puebla

, a ministry dedicated to rescuing and restoring abandoned children in 1994. Esperanza Viva expanded to open its second youth home in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, in 2006. In addition to Esperanza Viva Youth Homes, Jerry also founded and is director of Nations Church, which opened its doors in 2003. In 2003, the McNallys also founded La Viña School of Ministry to train young people who have a desire to serve the Lord. Most recently, in 2013, the McNally’s founded LHIMissions which focusing on “Helping youth around the world to experience the heart of missions in a hurting world.”

In March, we shared that we were preparing to pour the first of three slabs.
Since then, meaningful progress has been made as the structure continues to take shape.

Formwork, including temporary wood and metal supports, is now being removed from the ground floor, or first level. Some supports remain for now, but they are expected to be cleared soon as the concrete gains enough strength to support the upper floors on its own. This will mark the completion of the main structural framework. 🏗

At the same time, installation is underway on the second level, along with continued progress on the slab preparation.
This Mission Headquarters is being built to support the work behind everything we do, creating space that strengthens the care and consistency the children experience every day. We’re excited, knowing God is leading the way.

Sometimes a simple “thank you” carries more meaning than words can explain.
To every woman who supported, encouraged, and gave with love through So She Can—thank you for being part of moments that remind these girls they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for.
Your kindness continues to leave a lasting impact. 💛

Update from Miguel & Bridget Gomez, Living Hope missionaries serving in Chalcatongo, Oaxaca
¨We are grateful to God for the opportunity to build a church in Chalcatongo, Oaxaca. The church received land as a donation, and thanks to volunteers and skilled builders, the building is taking shape. The church family is currently meeting in homes, but once the first phase is complete, there will be weekly services in this building. This is a testimony of the faithfulness of God and the generosity of many people within Nations Church.¨
