A Mission of Sharing Hope
Our mission is to share the hope of Jesus Christ through the gift of Mobility. This ministry started out of Michael Panther’s story. Born in war-torn South Sudan, Michael began losing mobility in his legs that confined him in a wheelchair. Michael’s personal experience with paralysis and the social exclusion faced by people with disabilities in Africa inspired him to create this ministry focused on hope, dignity and independence.

Meet Our Founder
A True Story of Faith, Purpose, and Mobility
Michael Panther is the founder of Hope Mobility. An organization dedicated to sharing Hope and Mobility to those with disabilities in Africa. Michael is from the war-torn young nation of South Sudan, Africa. Illness and war experiences left him in a wheelchair. In most parts of Africa, people with disabilities are usually excluded from schools, work opportunities and even the community because they are considered to be of no value in the society. This was now his life… a life with no hope and purpose. But God had a beautiful plan and purpose for Michael.
Michael’s adventures in Kenya and the USA eventually led to the formation of a widespread ministry that provides resourcing and training to people with disabilities in Africa. This book, Living With Hope is a testament to God’s purpose and plan for every life and of the hope to be found anchored in a relationship with Jesus and rooted in his sovereign goodness.
