Dr. Frankie H. Young, Apostle, the Founder and General Overseer of Hope Evangelical Ministries, founded HEM in April of 1991, after many years of prayer, fasting, and seeking YAHWEH. Built on faith, Apostle Young began the ministry in the basement of her home with only one member. In April of 1994, with 12 members, great faith and the Word from the YAHWEH, the ministry purchased and completely renovated a building located at 18980 Wyoming. Within 1 year after the purchase and total renovation of the new ministry home, the ministry was completely debt free. Due to rapid growth, in February 1999, the HEM family moved and completely renovated its current location at 4600 Livernois. Within five years Hope Evangelical Ministries became totally debt free and have continued to be debt FREE.  Hope has brought life and the good news of the gospel to an otherwise blighted area of the city.

The ministry offers an excellent biblical training curriculum that empowers participants to lay a solid spiritual foundation. Courses such as New Covenant Partners Class, Spiritual Foundations and Sabbath Lessons develop and elevate believers in every phase of spiritual maturity. In April of 2003, Hope Ecclesiastical Studies International opened. This awesome school offers a 2-year biblical studies certification program.

Over the past 27 plus years, Hope Evangelical Ministries has grown and has expanded its borders reaching affiliated ministries across the world in St. Thomas, Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean islands; South Africa, London, England; Ghana and Nigeria, just to name a few.  Hope Evangelical Ministries is continuing to grow and soar with the vision that was given to Apostle Young.

The ministry’s goal of bringing believers to a place of maturity as they assume their rightful place in the Body of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH (Jesus Christ) is being accomplished. With a focus on the pure Word of YAHWEH, Apostle Young, the ministers and the leadership at Hope cater to the needs of covenant partners, the community, and the Body of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH (Jesus Christ). Hope’s slogan, “Where Eagles Gather”, further highlights the ministry’s commitment to preparing covenant partners to soar, as eagles to their YAHWEH given destiny. We have numerous ministries, auxiliaries, departments, and dedicated partners that enable the ministry to grow and to continue to accomplish this awesome vision.

The heart of Hope’s leaders and the ministry is outreach, reaching the world with the good news of the gospel of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH (Jesus Christ). When Apostle Young received the vision for Hope, she was wearing overalls, a painter’s cap, and she was literally building the ministry. YAHWEH intended Hope to be a working ministry that reached out to those in need. The ministry offers many outreach programs that feed the hungry, members visit and minister to prisoners, the elderly, individuals in hospitals and nursing homes. In addition, Hope’s Evangelistic Outreach team walks through the streets of the community to witness to the lost. Within this ministry, deliverances take place, people’s lives are transformed, and people have been healed and delivered from substance abuse, AIDS, various cancers, other diseases, and such like.

Hope has reached the world through radio, television and social media sharing the pure Word of YAHWEH with the world. As a part of its outreach, the ministry desires to bring global economic development to the Body of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH (Jesus Christ). HEM has adopted and assumed financial and spiritual responsibilities for communities in Ghana and prisons in the Caribbean islands with the goal of further expansion. Since a power-packed ministry trip to Trinidad in 2003, two credit unions have been established and people have become aware of their economic ability and responsibility.

Hope Evangelical Ministries strongly believes in prosperity and in setting the captive free, especially in the area of economic development and empowerment. The ministry strives to develop successful entrepreneurs and motivate covenant partners to become viable members of the community who willingly finance the work of the ministry. Within the local ministry, and as Apostle Young teaches and travels around the world, the spirit of poverty is being broken and hope is being restored.

The nine spiritual gifts flow bountifully. Soul winning, spiritual warfare and prayer are staples by which YAHWEH can use his people effectively.

The RUACH HAQODESH (Holy Spirit) has free reign in the house. A detailed series on the Spiritual Gifts has been taught to give clarity and understanding.
