Biblical background of Hip Hope
Theologically, hip hope is about one the central nature of God, which is unity. In the Godhead there are three distinct persons-the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit yet they are one. That is why we believe that the unity of the body (churches/ministries) is one of the central themes of this Hip Hope outreach. Unity is very much in the heart of God, because it is central to who God is. In John 17:21 Christ prayed that His people would be one just as He is one with the Father. Without Unity (Unity is only produced through the spirit(prayer)-Ephesians4:1-4. Unity is not uniformity)) we can’t see transformation in the youths of our communities
(Psalm 133:1-2)
Missiologically, hip-hope outreach is about reaching youth so that they can become disciples that bring worship back to God through every aspect of their lives. The goal of fulfilling the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is so that God will receive worship from every tribe, tongue and nation-(Revelation 5:9-10, Revelation 15:4, Isaiah 61:11)
This outreach is for un-churched, unsaved and nominal Christian youth and for the body of Christ to relevantly engage youth culture. The purpose of Hip Hope is for young people to bring worship back to God (Psalms 145:4, Psalm146;10 ). We are created to worship. A lot of young people have talents and gifts given by God, which need to be used for him. Also when young people see other youth using there talents it encourages them to do the same. We want to point out to unsaved youth that God has given them their talents and they have to use it for him (1 Peter 2:9-10). So, we use a youth rally (Hip Hope) to preach the gospel. Then we plug the youth into local Churches in the area. We also will provide discipleship resources and training for churches to disciple the youth coming through their churches (especially if they don't have pre-existing discipleship program/system). Ultimately we want to mobilize these young people to help others in their communities and the nations to bring worship to God.
