Follow our journey and see where God is leading our family next.

Sand Springs, Oklahoma

Following Jesus.
Serving People.
Living on Mission.

We are the Hopper family, and we believe faith should be lived out through service. Through coaching, discipleship, missions, practical help, and relationships, we are working to strengthen young people and families wherever God opens the door.

You are welcome to request help, prayer, mentorship, or coaching regardless of your ability to donate.

Why We Exist

Formation, not merely inspiration.

We do not just want to inspire people for a moment. We want to help form habits, character, faith, relationships, and lives that last.

This work grew out of years of coaching kids, leading youth ministry, serving at church camps, mentoring athletes, and helping families in our own community. We are choosing to make ministry central to family life — one relationship at a time.

Three Pillars

How this family is spending its life.

Coaching & Mentorship

Building skill, confidence, discipline, coachability, and character in young athletes and students.

Family & Community Service

Practical help, hospitality, encouragement, and steady relationships with the people right around us.

Missions & Discipleship

Following Jesus beyond comfort — locally and beyond — and helping others do the same.

Recent Mission Trips

Belize — serving where we were invited.

We joined a team serving alongside a local church — spending time with kids, walking village roads, sharing meals, and helping where hands were needed. Most of the work was simple: show up, pay attention to people, and love them well.
