“When people tell me they’re interested in Christian schooling that serves communities in need, the first thing I tell them is to check out Spreading Hope. Their generosity and wisdom were essential catalysts of our work creating Kenosha Christian Academy.”
“If it weren’t for our visit to Hope Academy and all the coaching we received from Spreading Hope Network, we may never have had the confidence to follow God’s lead in doing the crazy work of starting a school. The Lord provided abundantly, and we launched in 2019 with grades K-2. Today, we serve nearly 100 students in grades K-6.”
