Our History
Hope of Life International Church began in the home of Rose Mapendo in 2011. After holding services in several other locations, it obtained the building on 43rd Ave. where it is now located. Its vision was to reach out to the International community of the Phoenix area and the region of the Great Lakes of East Africa, who have moved here to Arizona.
