IMPACTED Story
Haley Walker • HOPE ALIVE
As the saying goes, “God doesn’t call the equipped. He equips the called.”
I had no idea what was in store when God prompted me to pursue this “Yes.”
Before the book even had pen to paper, Hope Alive: Debilitated to Exhilarated with God was bathed in prayer. Certainly, God was already orchestrating whose hands this book would end up in, whose heart it needed to touch, and whose life needed healing.
When God calls us to something, we don’t know the behind-the-scenes details. These details often are YEARS in the making before He calls you to your piece of His master plan.
This is what happened with Hope Alive.
In the spring of 2023, the book meetings began; the team and I were thrilled with the book launch in April of 2024 as it reached 9X best-seller, which means it was #1 in nine different categories on Amazon.
Little did we know what God had in store and who He had already hand-picked to read Hope Alive.
I am amazed to see miracles CONTINUING to happen with Hope Alive four months after the launch! I stepped out in faith and purchased 100 books, praying God would lead me to distribute them according to His will. I have truly been impacted by Women World Leaders, the book ministry of Hope Alive, and Voice of Truth magazine!
My uncle is a new Christian who is on FIRE for the Lord. In a way only the Lord could organize, my awesome uncle has started a new ministry where he provides beds for those in need. You read it right—BEDS. It’s baffling how many mothers and children do not have a bed to sleep in each night! Once Hope Alive launched, my uncle was so supportive that he ordered twenty books—and he’s ordered even more since then. He began placing a book on each bed that he delivered as a gift to the mothers! INCREDIBLE! What started as a simple “providing beds for those in need through his church” has exploded into a nonprofit ministry in Northwest Florida that he has titled Beds of Hope. If anyone wishes to contribute to these blessings, the VENMO is: @bohnwfl. 100% of the proceeds go to Beds of Hope to purchase beds and bedding for mothers and children.
Here is another amazing impact from Hope Alive that I have witnessed firsthand. My mom works as a Precinct Election Official during voting seasons. A lady she currently works with, sadly, has an aggressive, terminal cancer, but she is a believer and has an amazing outlook on life and is still praising Jesus! My mom gifted her Hope Alive. The lady read my story and is now reading the other incredible stories within the book. She loved the book and was so touched that she proceeded to buy 35 copies for her Bible Study at church! Who knew? I certainly would have never anticipated God having this in the works for my book distribution list. The books that were sitting in boxes in my garage had a purpose; they are now reaching the WORLD.
God knew before my pen hit the paper whose hands these books would be in.
He equips. He’s in the details.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28 NIV).
I’d love to connect with you!
