October 16, 2014
ASHEVILLE, NC – WORLD News Group announced today that votes are now being accepted from the public for the ninth annual Hope Award for Effective Compassion.
WORLD has long been a leader in shining the spotlight on organizations who engage in “effective compassion” by equipping their beneficiaries with useful skills to break the cycle of poverty and pointing them to Christ.
“As governmental poverty-fighting continues to fail, Hope Award finalists show us the power of effective compassion, which changes lives by offering challenging, personal, Christ-centered help,” said Marvin Olasky, WORLD’s editor in chief.
WORLD recently featured the 2014 regional finalists, who are now eligible for the Hope Award. Those regional finalists are:
• Midwest Winner: Friends Ministry, Michigan

• South Winner: Maury United Ministries, Tennessee
• West Winner: Jubilee Leadership Academy, Washington
With these extraordinary organizations working to restore hope in their communities, WORLD encourages anyone concerned with fighting poverty to read their stories, then cast a vote for the 2014 Hope Award winner online at www.worldmag.com/compassion/2014.
The winner of the 2014 Hope Award will receive $25,000 for the advancement of its ministry.
