Connecting Communities… Channeling Hope… Changing Lives…
We partner with neighborhood block clubs in northwest Detroit to provide service learning experiences
that invest in long-term impact across Detroit neighborhoods.
Together, we’ll strengthen our foundation—physically and spiritually—for years to come.
The ministry of Rippling Hope plans, leads, provides housing, and helps to resource service learning experiences. Projects are available for individuals and organizations (church groups, colleges, businesses, fraternities, sororities, plus many more) for a day, weekend, or week long experience. People of all ages will learn that by reaching out to their sisters and brothers in need, they will not only affect their own lives but will also powerfully affect the lives of those they serve.
With our many partnerships, our goal is to serve the least, the lost, and the lonely.
We connect and assist those who have the resources to partner with those who need help. Rippling Hope provides opportunities to learn and experience the joy and hope that comes from service.
“Enlarge your house. You are going to need a bigger place; don’t underestimate the amount of room that you’ll need.
So build, build, build. You will increase in every direction to fill the world…” Isaiah 54:2-3

David E. Nathan, Executive Director
David E. Nathan, a devoted husband and father of seven, stands as a revered community leader and distinguished former state representative who has indelibly shaped the landscape of Detroit through a life devoted to public service, legislative triumphs, and community advancement.
Hailing from Detroit, Nathan's educational journey through the public school system mirrored his unwavering commitment to his roots. His college experience further enriched his understanding, laying the foundation for a dedicated career in public service. As a state representative, he translated this commitment into tangible action, successfully championing bills that addressed critical issues and positively impacted the lives of his constituents.
Nathan's dedication to education materialized in the establishment of five computer labs within the district, showcasing his commitment to providing technological resources for students. His passion for education further manifested in a school uniform clothing drive, where he distributed 350 new school uniforms to Detroit public school students.
Recognizing the significance of community building, Nathan adopted a hands-on approach, fostering unity and cultivating community leadership through block clubs and associations. Beyond legislation, he actively engaged with the community by organizing turkey giveaways and collaborating with Rippling Home for a home repair program that uplifted hundreds of families in the district.
In the electoral realm, Nathan played a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity of the electoral process as the Head of the Central Counting Board for the City of Detroit. His commitment to fair and transparent elections is underscored by his leadership in the absent voter ballot counting operation.
His legislative prowess was exemplified by chairing the House Education Subcommittee on Academic Emergencies, where he formulated comprehensive recommendations for reform, gaining recognition at an education forum at Michigan State University. Additionally, Nathan sponsored legislation to protect occupants of rental properties, earning him the prestigious title of Legislator of the Year by the Property Management Association of Michigan.
Throughout his legislative career, Nathan assumed various leadership roles, serving as the Senior Chair of the Michigan House Democratic Detroit Caucus and contributing significantly to committees focused on finance, military and veterans affairs, urban policy, and small business. His unwavering dedication and contributions to Michigan earned him numerous honors and awards, including recognition in Michigan Chronicle's Men of Excellence, the Michigan Lodging and Tourism Legislator of the Year award, and a place in Michigan Front Page's "30 Under 40."
David E. Nathan's legacy is one of profound impact, characterized by legislative accomplishments, community empowerment, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of the people he served.
