ANNOUNCEMENT from the BOARD
Since October 2024, Ian Stuart has faithfully served as Transitional Director, providing steady leadership and care as GOHOP has continued to grow in its calling to be a community of prayer in Hamilton. During this time, we have seen his deep commitment to the ministry, his love for our community, and his desire to see prayer flourish in the lives of individuals and churches. After prayerful consideration and discernment, the Board is excited to announce that Ian will now be moving into a more permanent role as Director of GOHOP. We are thankful for the way he has already been leading and are confident in the gifts and experience he brings to this role. Please join us in praying for Ian as he continues to lead GOHOP in its mission to cultivate prayer in our city.
