Radiant Hope Wholeness Ministry (RadHopePh) is part of the global Journey and LiveFree Community.
We exist to honor God by helping the church establish more safe spaces where people can deeply process hidden underlying sexual and relational issues.
About
We believe God wants to love the whole person –
body, mind, heart, and soul.
Our mission is to give people a safe and spiritually supportive place to help them get in touch with their hearts and emotions, and integrate their beliefs with their feelings and experiences.
Most importantly, we create the time and space to look to God and invite Jesus into our lives through prayer. For many people, the result is healing from the past, a sense of freedom from old habits and, most important, a renewed sense of walking with Jesus.
For many of us, there is a disconnect between our understanding of God and our experience of God. We are taught that God loves us, but we don’t always find that we can sense that love. We learn that Holy Spirit lives within us, but we don’t always understand how we can connect with that reality. We learn from Scripture that God speaks, but we only hear silence.
One reason that our beliefs and our experiences are out of alignment is because we are not integrated human beings. We focus on correct thinking but ignore our emotions. Or we pay a lot of attention to our behaviour but not to our spirituality. This means that there are only parts of ourselves – our intellects or our bodies – that participate in our relationship with God, and there are other parts that we simply neglect.

Our Beliefs
We are Community-Based
We aim partner with churches to offer safe places for spiritual care and experiential discipleship, for people who struggle with a variety of relational issues. We pray to be supported by and involved with more churches of various backgrounds and sizes.
We are Christ-centered
We believe Jesus is the source of all healing, and that personal healing is a process, not a one-time event. Our courses point people to Christ, the all-sufficient One who desires to heal our relationships and be present on the journey to understanding identity, sexuality and wholeness. All our programs include the worship of God, the biblical teaching of brokenness, and the ministry of prayer.
We are discipleship-oriented
Our programs are led by women and men who have experienced relational and sexual healing in their own lives. They have been trained as volunteers to depend on God to enjoy and be responsible for their own journey while helping others in their walk with God as well. Because our leaders can identify with the struggles, hurts and helplessness that participants face, they lead and mentor them by example. As a result, program participants see first-hand how God changes lives

Men and women are image bearers
We also believe that healing best occurs when men and women minister together, releasing the presence of God to one another that corresponds with our deepest needs for love.
Jesus is at the heart of healing
At the center of the discipleship journey experience is the cross of Jesus Christ discovered in His community—the means through which we have access to the Father’s love. The cross is the place where we lay down our sins and wounds and receive the Holy Spirit of resurrection. At the cross, RadHopePh seeks to explore the wounded and complex habits of the heart in order to impart the truthful, healing love of Jesus there.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Radiant Hope Wholeness Ministry Phiippines?
Radiant Hope Wholeness Ministry (RadHopePH) is a faith-based, charitable organization whose mission is to provide a spiritually safe place for people to talk about their lives and receive the love of God and others. We do this through prayer, offering intensive discipleship courses, training and equipping church leaders, and partnering with churches and denominations.
Statement on Faith
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, the final authority of doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in right living.
We believe in one God, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, fully man and fully God, only begotten Son of the Father. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, buried, and rose physically from the dead. He ascended to the right hand of the Father and will come again in power and glory.
We believe that faith alone in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord frees us from the mastery of sin, and its consequences of death and eternal damnation. He assumed the penalty of death Himself and enables us to live out of His resurrected life unto eternity.
We believe the Holy Spirit carries out this work of renewal in our lives, empowering us to grow in loving union with our Heavenly Father and to walk in obedience to His will.
We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is formed of all those who know Him as their Saviour and Lord, regardless of denominational beliefs.
We believe God created man and woman in His image, and as such, each person has worth and value because his or her identity is rooted in God.
Beliefs on Human Sexuality
In His generosity and love, God has poured out good gifts on all people. The most important of these is our capacity for relationship and the ability to reach out to God in love, and to know the delight that He takes in us. People are also created to be part of intimate, loving, human relationships marked by mutual care and joyful service within the bond of friendship, family, community, and marriage.
Sexuality (and genital sex in particular) is among these gifts and is inherently good.
To receive the gift of sex in a way that is most life-giving and joyful, it is reserved for marriage, which is undertaken by one man and one woman together as a life-long journey toward greater intimacy, mutual spiritual maturity, and self-giving love.
God’s gifts to us can be misused through sexual acts within and outside of marriage.
God calls all people to explore their identity as His beloved children, not only followers but brothers and sisters of Jesus, and members of the family of God. Each of us is loved by God unconditionally, regardless of sexual orientation or behaviour.
We believe in Christ’s capacity to touch and restore us at deep levels of brokenness and shame, regardless of the specific type of problem. We believe He loves and cares for His children and wants them to live with joy and hope.
RadHopePH neither promises nor has the goal of changing same-sex sexual orientation/attraction.
What denomination are we?
RadHopePH is an organisation unaffiliated with any particular Christian denomination. Journey works with partners from various denominations and local churches, from Pentecostal, Charismatic to Reformed Evangelical.
Who comes to RadHopePH?
RadHopePH helps people from many walks of life. Our primary goal is to help people deepen their spiritual lives and we think anyone would benefit from what we have to offer. People often come to us with areas of their lives where they’ve experienced significant shame – from sexual abuse to addiction, from anger problems to low self-esteem, from sexual identity to divorce.
Are RadHopePH programmes a form of counselling?
RadHopePH is a grass-roots ministry intended to be facilitated by local churches and led by trained volunteers. RadHopePH does not offer clinical public or private mental health services, nor does it offer clinical individual counselling, psychotherapy, group therapy, etc.
