HEART INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES (INDIA)
Christ Fellowship supports a missionary family of nine in India. Their orphanage, established just one month before the Tsunami ravaged the coast of India, is raising children of all ages in the joy and knowledge of the Lord. Through their ministry school, they actively train pastors and send them out to establish churches in the second most populated country in the world (1.2 billion people) where less than 3% are Christians. Through their school, conferences, crusades and television programs, Heart International Ministries is reaching millions with the good news of the gospel.

Abundant Hope Ministries
The mission of Abundant Hope Ministries is to build and support orphanages around the world, help widows and refugees, lead international missions teams and train, teach, and encourage individuals, pastors and church leaders around the world.
Abundant Hope Ministries was launched in September 2006, to be an expression of the heart that God has given Matt & Darlene Woodhouse for orphans, widows and refugees around the world. One of our primary goals is to build and support orphanages and safe-homes where orphans can be loved and cared for and where widows can live with dignity. In all that we do, we desire to see God “restore hope – inspire vision – fulfill destiny”.
Psalm 68:6 says that the Lord “sets the lonely in families.” Therefore, our aim is to set Abundant Hope orphanages up as families, not institutions. Every orphanage will be overseen by a local pastoral couple who will provide each orphan with their family name. The family unit consists of not only a group of children, but also of abandoned widows. In this new family, the children bring renewed purpose to the older women and the older women provide care, wisdom, and love to the children. We believe that this model uniquely expresses the heart of God towards the fatherless and the widows.
