Mexico
Mexico was another area where we saw a need for significant humanitarian efforts to be placed. Many communities were battling rampant drug addiction, among other problems. Giving Hope organized its humanitarian efforts to provide assistance to these communities battling drug addiction and poverty.
We understand that compassion is a powerful tool when looking to direct change for good, and that is exactly what we brought to the struggling communities in Mexico. It has the ability to leave the lasting impressions required to create ongoing positive change in a community. Our Children’s Ministry provides essential care and education services to support the up-and-coming members of the community. Giving Hope also established rehab centers where people could battle drug addiction safely and with the support required to achieve success. Lastly, we established new churches in these areas, giving the community access to the support that only faith in God can provide. These compassionate measures are the beginning of the humanitarian work being done in Mexico.
Pounds of food
Tons of humanitarian
These are the ways we serve and share the gospel and love of Jesus with the world
We believe our mission is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to build relationships with local communities, provide humanitarian aid, and serve the community by meeting a current need showing them the Love that Jesus would. Ultimately we want to find ways to build bridges and share Jesus.
Humanitarian Aid
Humanitarian help is a very effective ministry method because we are able to show the love of Christ practically to those who need it most. Upon arrival to a village or city, if the government is willing, our group obtains the lists of people who are most in need; this includes the elderly, sick, orphans, and broken families. Help is shown by buying food for the poor, visiting the elderly and sick ones, and giving a helping hand to anyone who asks. These kinds of actions shock the local community because all of the work is done voluntarily and free of charge. They wonder who we are and why we spend so much of our time and finances to help them. We, in turn, embrace this opportunity to tell them about Christ and the plan of salvation.
Children’s Ministry
Children’s programs are a great opportunity to witness to the young generation, who in turn will reach out to their parents. Missionaries spend time getting to know the children by showing them love, care and affection, which many don’t receive at home. They play games, do arts and crafts, and lead activities with kids of all ages but most importantly, they concentrate on telling the children that they have hope for their future through Jesus Christ. Ministry is done through puppet shows, skits, flannel board presentations, and practical Bible lessons.
Caring for Orphans
When we have an opportunity, we have our students visit orphanages in the area where they are serving. All over the world there are children who long to belong to a family, to be loved and cared for. Many of the children come from broken households and have had a horrible past needing lots of counsel and discipleship. Our desire is to show them that there is good in this world and that eternal hope can be found in Jesus Christ.
Evangelism
Prior to departure, our teams prepare various methods to share the Gospel. The types of evangelism we do on the field includes one-on-one evangelism, Gospel events, and crusades. Students join existing ministries and assist them in this outreach, or organize their own events.
