Past Project Summary By Location

SOME OF THE AREAS YOU'VE HELPED TO REACH AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH HOPE OF THE WORLD

BOLIVIA: Together we've helped to provide a van for transportation at a medical clinic in Vinto, Bolivia.

MIZORAM: 56 new Mizoram Beth Israel congregations were supported and discipled, as we expanded our tents in the hill country of Mizoram, where the lost tribe of Manasseh are now worshiping and praising their Messiah Jesus.

ASIA: Through Guine Anderson's Hong Kong based church planting ministry, we've helped build and strengthen churches in India, Nepal, Tibet all throughout Asia.

AFRICA: Together we provided a water system for the Maasai Tribe. The Maasai people of Africa are used to traveling miles just for water to drink. The gifts of love that we sent are helping to provide water for families there.

GUATEMALA: Starving poor children were provided with food as Hope of the World sent gifts to provide stoves, food, and open the doors for an entire lunch program to be launched in Jocotan, Guatemala.

BRAZIL: In Londrina, Brazil, milk and bread was provided for the hungry there. And we provided assistance to the new Beth Israel congregations that were recently birthed there.

ISRAEL: Most recently, we are assisting those who have been hurt, disabled, and suffering as a result of terrorism in the land of Israel. We are reaching out to these victims with God's Word and His healing touch.

YUNAN PROVINCE: Our current project is to provide Bibles to persecuted believers in the Yunan province in China, bordering Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Approximately 40 families currently share only one Bible. We're giving them the Word of Life and Hope.

INDIA: Many children in India live in places with no electricity or lighting. In 1997 we were able to provide lanterns for children's homes throughout India. The lanterns enabled them to continue their activities, complete school work, and receive the extra care they needed.

BOSNIA: Thousands of abandoned children roam the cities of war-torn Bosnia alone, hungry and cold. We were able to help ship convoys of food via tractor-trailer into the nation - keeping many alive through the cold winter months.

GEORGIA: Working through Abraham's Blessing, we helped to provide food, clothing to those in hospitals, orphanages, Messianic congregations and Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia.

NEW YORK CITY: On the streets of New York City are abandoned mothers, homeless with their children. This year we were able to help in a special project which provided food, clothing, transportation, and medical supplies for these mothers and their children.

SOUTH SUDAN: Millions of Sudanese Christians are being persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, or killed for their faith by the Muslim forces of Northern Sudan. This year, through Operation Nehemiah we were able to assist persecuted believers in South Sudan with food, medical supplies, transportation of relief, and support and encouragement to churches there.

THE PHILIPPINES: Many believers in the Philippines have no place to worship. This year we were able to provide them with bamboo churches in the city of manila. The bamboo churches we built in the past, in Mindanao and Lupao, are still housing multitudes of believers.

MEXICO: Thousands of children in Mexico live in the equivalent of garbage dumps and bathe in polluted streams. This year we were able to bless the children of Reynosa, Mexico, with gifts of love to help meet their physical and spiritual needs.

BANGLADESH: In Bangladesh are many willing pastors and evangelists of the Gospel seeking to reach the lost of their country. But many of their people live in remote regions, and few people have cars. This year we were able to enable these believers of Bangladesh to reach their brethren with God's love by providing them with bicycles.

ISRAEL: In Israel, with more Jewish people coming to know the Messiah, Orthodox persecution of believers is heating up. A proposed anti-missionary bill threatens to make evangelism illegal. At a time when doors threaten to close we are helping and working with several Israeli and Messianic ministries to spread the Gospel throughout the land.

UGANDA: Victims of religious persecution in Africa are gathered in refugee camps in Uganda. They've asked us to provide them with tape recorders so they can play Hope of the World tapes throughout the camps so that they all might hear the message of hope and salvation.

ISRAEL: During the Jewish holidays, a Messianic congregation in Israel was fire bombed. The building was used to provide food & clothing to immigrants there from the former Soviet Union. Our most recent compassion project is to help provide them with a new building.

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN THE U.S.: For missionary, Lauren Waitsman, called out from our congregation to go into full-time mission work - to reach out to the Jewish people with the Gospel.
