New imprint combines publishing, visual storytelling, and digital discipleship to equip believers and leaders worldwide
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., August 10, 2026 — OneHope announced the launch of Spero, a new global publishing imprint designed to advance Scripture engagement through innovative books, visual media, digital experiences, and strategic ministry partnerships.
The launch marks a significant expansion of OneHope’s long-standing mission to help children, youth, and families engage with God’s Word. Through Spero, the organization will extend that impact by developing resources that cultivate spiritual formation, strengthen Christian leadership, and equip believers to live out their faith in communities around the world.
“Spero represents a natural and strategic extension of OneHope’s mission,” said Rob Hoskins, president of OneHope. “For decades, we have focused on helping the next generation engage Scripture. Through Spero, we are broadening that vision by creating resources that not only communicate biblical truth but inspire transformation, discipleship, and Gospel impact across cultures and generations.”
More than a traditional publishing imprint, Spero is built around the conviction that resources should serve as catalysts for ongoing spiritual growth. Its publishing strategy integrates books with visual storytelling, digital engagement tools, leadership development resources, and ministry activation pathways designed to move readers from inspiration to action.
The initiative also reflects the changing face of the global Church. As Christianity continues to grow across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and diaspora communities around the world, Spero is committed to elevating diverse voices rooted in biblical truth and shaped by real-world ministry experience. By bringing together authors, leaders, and practitioners from across the global Church, the imprint seeks to foster collaboration, strengthen discipleship, and expand access to transformative Christian resources.
Experienced Leadership for a Global Vision
To lead the new publishing venture, OneHope has appointed Rev. Enid M. Almanzar as publisher. A respected leader in Scripture engagement and Christian publishing, Almanzar brings more than two decades of experience developing global Bible initiatives, strategic ministry partnerships, and faith-based publishing programs. She previously served in executive leadership at the American Bible Society and currently serves as the first female chair of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition.
“Spero was born from the belief that publishing can do more than inform,” Almanzar said. “Our vision is to create resources that deepen engagement with God’s Word, strengthen the global Church, and shape the spiritual imagination of future generations. Every project we publish is designed to become a catalyst for discipleship, leadership development, and lasting Gospel impact.”
Launch Titles and Future Initiatives
Spero’s inaugural publishing slate includes the Visual Scripture Series, an innovative collection that pairs biblical text with immersive visual storytelling to help readers encounter Scripture in new and engaging ways. Designed for personal study, church discipleship, and ministry contexts, the series reflects the imprint’s commitment to meeting people where they are while inviting them into deeper engagement with God’s Word.
The imprint will also release Courageous Hope, a discipleship resource focused on cultivating resilient faith and Christ-centered hope in an increasingly complex world. Additional projects are currently in development and will be announced in the coming months.
“This is an exciting moment for Christian publishing,” said Tessie Güell DeVore, president of Bible Media Group and a recognized pioneer in visual Scripture engagement. “People increasingly learn through visual and immersive experiences. Spero is helping bridge the gap between reading Scripture and experiencing it in ways that deepen understanding, strengthen discipleship, and create lasting spiritual impact.”
Looking ahead, OneHope plans to launch Spero Kids later this year, extending the reach of the globally recognized Bible App for Kids through storybooks, coloring books, activity resources, and additional family-focused content designed to support faith formation at home and in ministry settings.
As Spero begins its publishing journey, its mission is clear: create transformational resources that help people engage God’s Word more deeply, strengthen the Church globally, and inspire generations to participate in God’s redemptive work throughout the world.
