Our Vision & Calling
Hope of Life International Church was founded by divine appointment through Reverend Theodore Mucuranyana, our Senior Pastor. Upon arriving in Arizona, USA—a region known for its intense desert climate—Pastor Mucuranyana was struck not only by the physical heat but by a spiritual dryness revealed to him through prayer.
The Lord showed him that, much like the desert terrain, the hearts of many in the region—especially among the African diaspora—were spiritually dry.
While these individuals attended churches where the Gospel was preached, many struggled to understand the message or engage in worship due to language barriers. Though present in body, they remained disconnected in spirit.
A Prophetic Word: Ezekiel 37
During a time of prayer, God spoke clearly through Ezekiel 37:1–5:
“The hand of the Lord was on me… and he set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones… Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!… I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.’”
From this passage came the church’s foundational mission:
“Dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord!”
The call was clear—to preach the Gospel in a language and format that people could understand, allowing communities to be spiritually revived and restored.
Growth & The Great Commission
Over the years, Hope of Life International Church has grown steadily—raising up ministers, equipping new shepherds, and building a multiethnic, Spirit-led congregation.
Ten years later, the Lord reminded His servant of the greater call found in Matthew 28:18–20:
“Go and make disciples of all nations… baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…”
This renewed our vision to expand beyond Arizona—to the nations.
