World Water Day

March 22, 2024 by paige Leave a Comment

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:37b-38

If you have ever traveled out of the United States, one of the first things you likely realize we take for granted is access to clean water.  It is hard to believe that today, there are still more than 2 billion people across the globe do not have access to clean and safe drinking water!

In Pakistan, women often walk several kilometers to the nearest well.  It takes a major part of the day to collect enough water for cooking, cleaning, washing and drinking.  Sadly, it is often a barrier to education because children have to assist in that chore.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors,

Five Wells were installed in 2023

to give access to clean water access to 1,150 individuals.
The gift of a well opens the door to many ministries for the Hope Team to care for those in need.

Each well costs only $250 to install but makes a lifetime of impact.
In honor of World Water Day, would you consider giving the gift of clean water?

Hope Attained through Vocational Training

February 29, 2024 by paige Leave a Comment

A story of HOPE

Global Hope Partners’ Alpha Vocational Training Center (AVTC) sewing courses are a 9 month program for women of all faiths.  This time spent together not only results in a new skill and livelihood, but also an awareness of God’s love for them.

Jamna is a member of the AVTC sewing program in Pakistan.  When she first started the course, she was 3 months pregnant and overwhelmed with stress.  Her husband’s modest wages were not enough to cover the impending delivery of her baby, so she was facing a risky at-home birth.  However, through the skills learned in the AVTC, Jamna was able to earn enough to pay for a medically attended birth, even while she was still enrolled and learning! She safely delivered her beautiful baby boy, has graduated the course, and today she continues to contribute to the family income through her tailoring skills.  

We are so grateful to be a part of empowering the lives of women in South Asia by equipping them to contribute financially to their households. Will you join us in praying for them to grow in faith and accomplishment?

Ringing in the New Year with Joy

January 16, 2024 by paige Leave a Comment

2024 is already off to a great start and we wanted you to be the first to share in our delight! Shortly after the New Year, Peter, Esther and The Hope Team staff gathered for a belated Christmas and New Year celebration with the Alpha Home students and alumni in Hyderabad. This is a highly anticipated event each year!

There was dancing and delicious food, a time of reconnecting and encouragement. Peter was able to spend father-son time with the boys, while Esther poured into the girls. Together they heard from Alpha Home alumni Ratna Kumar who is now an investment banker. He shared practical advice on the importance of saving and tithing before spending which sparked great conversation.

It was a beautiful day celebrating our savior and all the ways He works in and through our lives!

Esther and Peter with Current Alpha Home Students

Happy New Year from all of us at

Empowering Women with HOPE

December 19, 2023 by paige Leave a Comment

May the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,
so that you may overflow with HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

2023 was a year of growth and celebration for GHP’s Empowering Women program.  After the EW program was held Mumbai in May, participants were so impacted they returned the travel stipend they were provided to help them attend.  The ladies wanted those funds to be reinvested in the program so others could benefit!  The Hope Team was inspired by their generosity!

Several women in Mumbai were trained to provide EW training in their own villages and received encouraging testimonies like the one below.  The women were empowered by the message that they are of high value to God and that they can have a spiritual and financial impact on their families. They have started a variety of businesses as a result, including t-shirt design, tailoring, a beauty parlor and the bakery highlighted below!

“Attending the EW Program was a wonderful, eye-opening, upbringing event for me.  Soon after the program I was encouraged to start a baking business, as I loved baking.  I thank God for making me part of this program.”

The enthusiasm and HOPE the ladies receive from Empowering Women is encouraging and demand for programming continues to grow! Will consider a generous gift to support life-transforming programs like Empowering Women?

Back to School Time

September 14, 2022 by paige Leave a Comment

Global Hope Partners firmly believes that access to education will break the cycle of poverty. Our education programs impact the lives of children all over South Asia!  As children settle back into school here in the U.S., will you join us in a prayer for growth, wisdom, and safety over all  students beginning their new school year – both here and in South Asia? Let’s pray that together we can be a light in the world to those in need!

The Alpha Home has a new Home!

Moving in Day!
All Together on One Campus
Everyone loves the new playground!

Over the summer, the Alpha Home moved locations!  The boys and girls are now together on a large campus with other children.  They attend a new school and are loving having a basketball court and playground!  We are thrilled with this new, safer environment and are accepting new applications from our partners throughout the area.

10th Grade Exams
We are proud of our 10th grade students who all passed their board exams and celebrated with a Biryani dinner!

Alpha School-Pakistan
Before the floods began, the students were overjoyed to receive new textbooks.  School is postponed until the flood crisis ends.  Please be in prayer for these families! 

Alpha School-India
Shortly after the new school year began, India marked its 75th year of independence.  It was a big celebration for the Alpha School students!

 

From everlasting to everlasting, the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children. Psalm 103:17

How Can You Help?

The Hope Team welcomed many new children into our programs after COVID that are in need of sponsorship.  Would you, your Sunday School, or church consider sponsoring a child’s future through access to quality education?  $39/month will change their future!

I want to know more about sponsoring a child!

Supporting Refugees in Their Time of Need

April 6, 2022 by paige Leave a Comment

Each year in the cold winter months, the Hope Team distributes blankets to those in dire need of protection from the elements. Delivered with a message of hope, these blankets sustain the recipients and protect them from the elements. Thanks to the support of our incredible donors, the team recently provided blankets to those who were struggling in a refugee camp.  There they met Amena, who shared her story:

My family was killed for our faith by the Taliban, forcing me to flee Afghanistan. I walked alone for six days, three of them without food, sustained only by faith and prayer. God gave me a vision of two angels waiting for me and led me to the Hope Team who provided me a warm blanket and food. I rejoiced with my fellow believers!

In our darkest moments,
God provides!

Please join us in prayer for Amena and the many refugees being persecuted for their faith and pray God will continue to reveal ways Global Hope Partners can provide aid to the refugee community.

Empowering and Encouraging Women

March 8, 2022 by paige Leave a Comment

On International Women’s Day, our team spent time together to pray for women all over the world.  At Global Hope Partners, our partners recognize the unique value of women in society.  That’s why GHP’s Community Development initiatives have been redesigned to incorporate programming focused on Empowering Women.  These include vocational training to enable women to financially support their families, targeted education on women’s health issues, and culturally sensitive instruction to raise awareness of abuse and trafficking risks.

Graduates were gifted with a new sewing machine to utilize their new skills

Will you join us in congratulating and praying for this class of 20 new seamstresses who will graduate the end of March?  We are so proud of all they’ve accomplished and know their skills are an invaluable tool to better their lives.

Wrapped in Love

February 3, 2022 by paige Leave a Comment

Wrapped in Love… it’s a beautiful image to be wrapped in the love of God! Because of the generous support of donors like you, in 2021 the Wrapped in Love campaign distributed 340 blankets to those struggling through the harsh winter in South Asia.

A Hope Team Member begins the journey to deliver blankets.

One Local leader shared the impact he witnessed while sharing God’s love with those in need:

“We were distributing blankets and food supplies in a camp for refugees displaced when they fled Afghanistan.  The weather was bitterly cold, and these people had little to protect them from the elements.  They were so happy to receive the blanket and excited as they anticipated a sound night’s sleep.  After witnessing this act of kindness, the nearby villagers were inspired to offer some of their own clothing to the needy refugees!  It was a day of rejoicing through spreading generosity!”

Alpha School Reopens

December 9, 2021 by paige Leave a Comment

Global Hope Partners’ original Alpha School is located in a small village in South Asia. It provides a quality education opportunity for underprivileged children in grades Kindergarten through 5th. During the COVID-19 lockdown, our dedicated teachers went door-to-door in the village to give lessons in small groups and ensure the children stayed on track.


In November, current families and alumni came together to celebrate the reopening of the school. It was a wonderful time of rejoicing and reflecting on how the school has blessed the community!

The students were THRILLED to be together again!

PARENT TESTIMONY

My daughter is studying in 4th grade at the Alpha Upper Primary School. My older son also studied there, and thanks to the strong foundation provided by the staff, he was accepted into a prestigious high school in the vicinity. We are forever indebted to the Hope Team for helping the poor and running a school in this remote village. Giving quality education free of cost to those who cannot afford it is an honor to us!

The importance of giving back

November 29, 2021 by paige Leave a Comment

This past spring as the Hope Team was distributing COVID Relief packets to widows of pastors, we met Anna. When Anna’s husband, Pastor Jacob, passed away and the second wave of COVID hit, their church shut down and as a result Anna and the children, Joseph (13) and Esther (7) began to struggle to make ends meet. As a result, Anna could no longer afford to send the children to school.  

Through your generous support and prayers, the Hope Team was able to provide Anna with a relief packet and her children received sponsorships for their educations! After several weeks, Anna excitedly informed us she had found a good job and could now afford to send the children to school again.

Anna wanted to give back the support offered to her so that it could be used for another child in need!
