Hope for Birmingham officially launched in June 2025 as a collaborative outreach between 19 Seventh-day Adventist churches in the West Midlands and Streams of Light International, a global Christian publishing and evangelism ministry with headquarters in Tennessee, USA.

At the heart of this mission is a desire to get the powerful book The Great Controversy into as many homes as possible — a book that explains the deeper meaning behind the chaos in the world and offers a clear path to peace, purpose, and faith in Jesus Christ.

In a time when many are facing anxiety, grief, uncertainty, and loss, we believe it’s time to point people back to the true source of hope. Our purpose is to:

• Distribute truth-filled literature free of charge

• Provide advice and support on healthy lifestyle choices

• Pray with and for those in need

• Offer free Bible studies and faith-based resources

  Connect people to local churches, support and friendship groups

• Bring hope to every street, every home, and every heart

Hope for Birmingham is made possible through the collaborative efforts of dedicated organisations and generous supporters who share our vision of bringing hope to every home. We are deeply grateful to the following partners for their contributions in the form of resources, funding, literature, and hands-on support:
