What is HOPE Online and why should I join?
HOPE Online is a library of resources and services designed to help you excel in each of four key areas so that you can Stay Close to God and Do Life Well.
- Honoring God
- Ordering our lives
- Progressing personally
- Engaging well with others
We build on these key values by providing articles, discussions, training materials, tips, short Bible studies, and in general, refreshing encouragement via several environments. (See membership levels described to the right.)
Bronze and Gold Level benefits include:
YOU name the price: Our "voluntary payment" system allows you to join for whatever amount you want. This allows us to welcome anyone as a member--those with little means, and those who can share quite a bit. Although we are not a non-profit, we are in the business of ministering. HOPE provides part of our income, and we pay taxes, running our business with integrity. Your payment is not tax-deductible, but helps keep HOPE going while allowing you to enjoy many privileges. (Not sure what to offer? We suggest $12 or more at least once per year, reflecting support of at least $1 per month. However, gifts of any amount are appreciated!)
Lifetime Membership: Your voluntary payment gives you full privileges for the life of our website! No further payment is ever required. Members are occasionally, and tastefully, encouraged to give another voluntary payment as they feel led to express appreciation to the site and especially if they share the resources with non-members on an occasional basis.
Automatic contribution of 15% of your membership payment to HOPE Center's sponsored charity, the Miracle Hill Renewal Center. Every month, we donate 15% of all membership-based receipts to this charity designed to help women with life-dominating issues return to a spiritually mature, productive life.
Monthly H2O - HOPE to Others Initiatives: Each month, we suggest a reasonable, easy, fresh new way you can tangibly bring hope to others in your community and life. You can optionally report back to us, so we can share how hope is being spread throughout the country!
Articles: FULL access to a large number (well over 100) of HOPE Unlimited articles/resources. We add and/or feature articles monthly, equivalent to the number you would receive in a decent-size monthly newsletter.
Email Directly, Please (EDP) Service: See an article mentioned and do not have time to log in? Email us and we will send it back to you in PDF form via email!
Daily Scripture Prayers: Pray through the Bible every 30 days with these Scripture based prayers that change daily.
Fresh Daily Tips: After logging in, you can see a fresh tip or thought to help and encourage you!
Sharing Privileges: We allow members to share up to six articles per year (excluding Beth's book) with non-members (including small groups), without having to obtain permission for use of this copyrighted material.
Breaktime Bible Studies: Using email, Beth Beutler hosts short-term discussion groups on topics such as a particular book of the Bible and provides study sheets for the related passages.
Free copy of Beth's Book: Members have a link to the full manuscript to Beth Beutler's book, Time Management, Jesus Way. They are allowed to print this for their own use/study/devotional life. (Non-members must order the hardcopy or ebook via our marketplace.) This book normally sells for $6.99 via download or $16 for hardcopy including shipping.)
Basic Personality Assessment: Designed by us, this usually sells for $5.99 per person, but is free to privileged members.
Financial Personality Assessment: A fun, non-scientific but enlightening assessment of why you handle money the way you do.
Extensive Personality Assessment: $20 discount on our extensive DISC (personality) assessment service (non-member fee for assessment is $80, for members, $60.) To take advantage of this, you must contact Beth directly to request this discount (it is not automatically applied if ordered through the marketplace so she will give you a particular code to use.) This discount is only available when it is directly REQUESTED by members. It is not automatic. Click here for a sample of the comprehensive report your receive about yourself or your employees!
Monthly Prayse Calendar - suggestions for prayer and praise for each day of the month.
Members Only Messages - Weekly emails (typically on Mondays) from Beth with additional tips and encouragement, for members only.
PROfile: Free access to three year's worth of PROfile, the former newsletter for Christian professional women, with particular focus on those who work in ministries.
