Gallery of Hope 2026 Recap

What happened at Gallery of Hope was more than a night.

It was a moment where stories connected.

Where children across the world felt seen.

Over 160 people gathered together—friends, families, and partners—each stepping into something bigger than themselves. The room carried a sense of purpose, anchored by a powerful message from our guest speaker, Cainos Manyara, who reminded us what’s possible when faith and action meet.

And the impact was real.

Together, we raised over $75,000.

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Art That Carried Meaning

Every piece of artwork in the room held a story.

We featured 75 pieces unique pieces, created by children in Uganda alongside professional artist Sewah. From smaller works that sold for $50 to a featured piece that reached $5,500, every single item was chosen—fully sold out. 

When we shared the results with the children, something shifted.

They weren’t just told their art sold. They were told that someone—somewhere—saw what they created and said, “I want that.”

For many of these children, it was the first time something they made was desired by someone they had never met and it filled them with joy.

More Than Funds Raised

Yes, the event raised significant support for the mission but something deeper happened.

Children gained confidence and vision. For everyone in the room, it was a night of connection— of laughter, community, and shared purpose.

Moving Forward

Gallery of Hope reminded us of something simple, but powerful:

When we come together, we don’t just meet needs—we change narratives.

We help move a child from survival…

to stability…

to a future filled with possibility.

Thank you to every person who showed up, gave generously, and believed in what God is doing through these children.
Because of you—

one more child has a chance.
