Building Leaders,
who build cultures,
that build nations.Â
 Hope Directive equips leaders in economically restricted nations with the tools, training, and support they need to thrive spiritually, grow sustainable businesses, and multiply impact in their communities.
Hope Directive is a registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit with an independent board of directors. We operate in strategic partnership with Heaven in Business, but every donation is stewarded solely by the Hope Directive board.
Your gift is tax-deductible and fuels leaders where resources are scarce.
Meet the Founders
Andy & Janine Mason, Nashville, TN
Andy and Janine Mason left careers and ministry in New Zealand to pursue a vision: to see one million people clearly demonstrate partnership with God in their everyday work.
Through Heaven in Business (a for-profit training organization), they equip business leaders to integrate faith and work. Through Hope Directive (a nonprofit with an independent board), they extend these resources to leaders in nations where access is limited and resources are scarce.
Their passion is simple: to see plumbers, principals, politicians, and entrepreneurs fully alive in their calling - shaping cultures and transforming nations through the presence and wisdom of God.

The Hope Directive takes the Heaven in Business tools and training to kingdom-leaders in strategic positions around the world.
Many who need the resources the most are the ones that can least afford them.
Here's what we model and train.
1. Partner with God at Work
The wisdom of Heaven works everywhere. Step one is an experiential understanding of who God made you to be and how He wants to personally partner with you in all life.
2. Build Better Business
As you implement Kingdom principles in your life and leadership, you build thriving organizations that display the life of Christ from products to payroll.
3. Multiply Kingdom Impact
Meeting your own needs and that of your organization are minimum standards. We are also called to practically seek the wellbeing of the community we live in. Â
Our Strategy
We leverage the learning, resources and results of the last 20+ years training believers around the world.
We intentionally multiply these to people groups who have less access, and invest in the long term advancement of their nations.
Step 1 | We work with local leaders
We intentionally build relationship through Kingdom leaders - business, government, education - who already have strategic relationships in place and know the areas we can help the most.
Our first priority is the sustainable spiritual, relational and financial growth (ie. discipleship) of the leader (family) in their assignment.
This looks like regular coaching, encouragement and whatever resource serves bestÂ

Step 2 | We activate & multiply skillsets
We take joy in knowing people smarter and more experienced than ourselves. Some of those people just don't realize it... yet!
So, we invite selected individuals ('team') to join us on in-person trips where we guide and give opportunity for their their gifting to immediately multiply in the lives of those we serve.
The result win:win:win. More laborers are activated. More people are served. People are served better than we could do so by ourselves.
Step 3 | Together we identify & fill the gapsÂ
Every community and culture is unique. We work through local leaders to identify the gaps and opportunities before them, and provide next level resources to facilitate growth.
This looks like training events, curriculum translation and facilitated connections that become force-multipliers. We also give grants and sponsorships in strategic situations that enhance the mission.
"I have sent you to set in order what is lacking and appoint leaders in every place." See Titus 1:5.

Three Ways You Can Multiply Impact
Â
Option 1 | Multiply the mission of the Hope Directive
As a registered 501c3, your gifts are tax deductible. We have an independant governance board for accountability and wise counsel.
Option 2 |Â Multiply mentoring & resources
Our first priority is the sustainable spiritual, relational and financial growth (ie. discipleship) of the leader (family) in their assignment. This looks like regular coaching, encouragement and whatever resource serves best .
We are also translating and distributing Heaven in Business curriculum & resources through our Hope Directive local partners.
Option 3 | Travel + train with us
To make the most of our travel time, we host leadership retreats just before or after each of our mission trips. When you attend a leadership initiative, you underwrite the costs of the local event or program plus add your own wisdom and experience where it can be leveraged the most.
