Hope for Everyone Update Q3 Summer 2025

Welcome to Summer, Menlo Church!

I know that you may already be settling into a new routine and taking a chance to recuperate from a full year, but I wanted to take a few minutes to share some important updates with you about our Hope for Everyone Initiative. 

Before I share some specifics, let me tell you about a friend of mine who represents the power of Hope for Everyone. This friend is someone I met in our community who wasn’t a Christian or a part of a church. Around the time we launched Hope for Everyone, I invited him to come, and he began attending regularly. At Christmas, he decided to follow Jesus, and his entire life changed. Since then, I’ve watched him take powerful steps that've changed his life. When we were letting people know about the kids' camp this summer, which was fully paid for through Hope for Everyone, he quickly offered to help in any way possible.

In eight months, God took him from wandering and searching to a place where he is growing personally while praying for, investing in, and helping to reach the next 3% of the Bay Area with the good news of Jesus! I hope God brings more people just like him into our path for the good of our communities. 

We have a lot of updates I'd like to share with you via video, from exciting improvements to all of our campuses, to the new ministry year ahead, to hundreds of churches in the Bay Area partnering together, to millions in church planting…God is on the move! Thank you so much for continuing to say yes to God’s best for our region as we trust Him more and more each day.

We’ll be doing a two-week series this fall, recapping all the developments of the first year, but I hope you're enjoying the updates along the way as we pray and seek God together.

Grace and peace,

Phil EuBank

Let's pray and commit to give however God leads us.

If we all invest in our future together, each of us responding in faith to what God asks us to do, the Hope for Everyone campaign will be a success by any measurement. When we combine our resources, the impact is multiplied exponentially.
