OneHope is an international ministry based in Pompano Beach, Florida. OneHope is working in over 100 countries to present a Biblical message of hope to children and youth through age and culturally specific programs including: children’s magazines, storytelling, animated movies, interactive games, sports programs, smart phone apps and more. Working with churches, partner ministries, local governments, schools and non-governmental organizations, OneHope has reached more than one billion children with a relevant presentation of God's Word. The organization also conducts research in 44 countries around the world to gain insight into children’s daily lives, faith, cultural influences and values.
OneHope (formerly Book of Hope International) was founded in 1987 by former missionary and Life Publishers President Bob Hoskins. That year Hoskins was asked by the Minister of Education in El Salvador to provide Bibles to the country’s 968,000 school children. Instead of Bibles, he delivered the Book of Hope—an interactive, Bible-based publication customized for the special challenges and interests of the country’s children and youth. By 2000, the Book of Hope had been shared not only with children in El Salvador but also with children in Haiti, Africa and Eastern Europe.
In 2004, Rob Hoskins was appointed president of OneHope. Since then, OneHope has expanded its work and is now creating new programs—in addition to the Book of Hope—for sharing the message of the Bible with children and youth including The GodMan an animated children’s film about the life of Jesus Christ.
Today, the Book of Hope is available in more than 140 languages and The GodMan has been modified for ten cultural worldviews and translated into 78 languages. OneHope has also expanded to over 300 unique programs that share the Gospel through storytelling, sport clinics, games, apps and other mediums.
On Thanksgiving Day 2013, in partnership with YouVersion, OneHope launched the Bible App for Kids. The app, which was downloaded more than 1 million times in its first week, brings the Bible to life for children with dozens of fully animated stories. With over 16 million downloads, the Bible App for Kids is available in 25+ languages
