Founded on Divine Inspiration

Spirit of Hope International Ministries

Spirit of Hope International Ministries was founded through divine vision to Rev. Augustus Y. Duncan and Prophetess Tomah Y. Duncan. From humble beginnings in their home on November 25, 2009, with only four members, the ministry has grown into a thriving institution carrying out God’s vision locally and internationally.

Every individual is born with purpose. With faith, determination, and God’s guidance, Spirit of Hope has nurtured hope, academic excellence, and moral integrity through its educational institutions.

Bishop Augustine Y. Duncan Sr. & Our Vision

Bishop Augustine Y. Duncan Sr., a graduate of A.M.E Zion University (BSc), Lincoln University (MSA), Palmer Theological Seminary (MTH), and Strayer University (MBA), is a dedicated philanthropist in Liberia. Together with his wife, he founded two high schools and two churches in VOA-Payneville and Mount Barclay, Nimba communities.

His philosophy emphasizes that true growth comes from combining knowledge with individual responsibility. By educating and empowering people, he believes society can achieve higher morality, innovation, and happiness—not through wealth alone, but through the joy of achievement and creative solutions.

Bishop Duncan’s vision for Hope International Christian Academy is to nurture students academically, morally, and spiritually, fostering leaders who can positively impact their communities and embrace God’s purpose for their lives.
