Jonathan & Theresa Baldwin
Laboring for every nation to hear the love of Christ
In 1966, Jackie Pullinger booked a one-way boat ticket around the world from England with faith believing that God would show her which county to serve Him in. Upon landing in Hong Kong, she began ministering in “the walled city” to drug addicts. She had faith to believe that God could instantly deliver drug addicts. […]
For the past five years, Hope City has had our sights set on an old middle school building a few blocks away from Hope City. We have felt the constraints of our current facility, an old Boys and Girls Club. Its limited space has often forced us to turn away drug addicts that desperately need […]
On February 3rd at 6:21 pm, we rejoiced at Caleb’s birth. Caleb was 7lbs and nineteen inches long. We were relived this time to keep our original birth plan having Caleb in the water at a local birthing center with a midwife. We were able to go home just a few hours after his birth. […]
Lately, Jeremiah has enjoyed listening to a particular worship song, “Here’s My Heart” by David Crowder. He can’t get enough of it. We will put it on our TV in the living room and when it is over he often cries until we restart it. Some kids like watching cartoons but at this point those […]
Praying & Worshiping on 24th Street Every week, we are responsible for leading two of our all staff two-hour prayer meetings at Hope City. We love letting former drug addicts be a part crying out for their neighborhood and nation. Some of them have only been clean for a few days but we don’t wait […]
On a recent ministry trip, I (Theresa) had the opportunity to minister at a women’s retreat. I talked about what we can do when we feel stuck in our walks with God or we find ourselves in a dry season, where we know we should want to read our Word and pray, but have no […]
In 1983, a prophecy was given about a 24/7 global prayer and worship movement. This included a prophecy about believers in China in rice paddy fields watching the singers and musicians in Kansas City on ‘unplugged TV sets’. It was such a crazy prophecy at that time and no one thought it possible since things […]
Sign the petition. Spread the word. End abortion. We are calling for 1 million people to petition the Supreme Court to end abortion. Since 1973, over 60 million babies have been killed by abortion. It’s time for justice to roll down like mighty waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. It’s time for the Supreme […]
I took a time lapse of the Solar Eclipse. Watch it above! With a small part of the nation, Kansas City experienced the Solar Eclipse in its totality. We took advantage of the opportunity at Hope City to reach out to our community grilling some hamburgers and watching the eclipse together. I was so amazed […]
This month we got to celebrate Jeremiah’s first birthday! We are so thankful for his life and that he is growing healthy and strong. He continually surprises us with new skills and we love to be silly together as a family. Last year he came as a complete surprise 5 weeks early and we spent […]
