Hope For The World Intl

Dear friends! Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I hope this message finds you and your families in good health and peace. Since returning from India, I have been recovering from the flu, which has been quite prevalent in the Tulsa area. Thankfully, I am feeling much better now. I arrived back home on the 2nd and have been adjusting to the weather and time zone differences. Though my trip was short, it was an incredibly powerful and transformative experience. A Fruitful Mission Trip Recently in India, I (T.A.Paul) was blessed with the opportunity to preach to over 5,000 people across various settings, including church gatherings, mega meetings, Sunday services, and home fellowships. It was truly humbling to see the hunger for God’s Word and the impact the ministry is having on so many lives. I also had the special privilege of naming a newborn baby, whom I named Michael. It was a truly joyful and heartwarming experience. Being among our brothers and sisters in Christ was incredibly uplifting, as I was able to encourage them to remain strong in their faith. During our missionary gathering, our missionary brothers shared powerful testimonies of how the Lord is moving in their ministries. It was an inspiring time of mutual encouragement, as they uplifted one another in the Lord. Some of the testimonies I heard were profoundly moving and deeply inspiring. While I wish I could share all of them with you here, due to space constraints, I will provide only a brief update for now. However, we are working on compiling these stories and will be publishing them on our website soon. Once they are ready, I will be sure to share them with you. It is truly heartbreaking to hear about the persecution our missionary brothers are enduring, yet at the same time, it is incredibly joyful and encouraging to witness how the work of the Lord continues to prevail despite these challenges. The unwavering faith and dedication of these missionaries serve as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness. Current Ministry Projects & Prayer Requests As I return with a renewed burden for the people of India, I want to share some of the ongoing projects that need our prayers and support: Church Construction Projects – We are currently in the process of constructing two churches in rural areas. However, we still need resources to complete these buildings. Please pray for the necessary provisions so these congregations can have a dedicated place to worship. Medical Camps & Outreach – Our medical outreach has been an incredible tool for both meeting people’s physical needs and opening their hearts to the Gospel. These medical camps serve between 300 and 400 people at a time, often covering multiple villages simultaneously. Many of these villagers have no access to medical care and cannot afford to travel long distances to see a doctor or buy medicine. Currently, over 45 villages are waiting for medical aid. Each camp, serving approximately 250 people, costs between $5,000 and $7,500 to organize. We are praying for individuals or companies that might be willing to support at least one or two medical camps per month. If you or someone you know is interested in helping to fund a camp, it would be an incredible blessing to those in need and an opportunity for us to share the love of Christ in a tangible way. 3. Caring for Widows, Elderly, Orphans, and Missionary Families – I had the privilege of visiting the widows, Elderly individuals, orphaned children, and native missionary families supported by our ministry. They were overjoyed to receive gifts and encouragement. Many of them expressed their gratitude and sent warm greetings to all of you. A Testimony of God’s Protection I also want to share a personal testimony of God’s protection during my journey home. While transiting through Frankfurt, Germany, on my way back to the U.S., our flight to Chicago, which was supposed to be a nine-hour journey, encountered unexpected technical difficulties. After five hours in the air, the pilot announced that we had to turn back to Frankfurt. At the same time, news broke of a plane crash in Washington, D.C., which caused widespread concern among passengers. With little information provided, there was a palpable sense of fear onboard. As we made our way back to Frankfurt, the pilot had to release a significant amount of fuel over the ocean before landing. This unexpected delay resulted in a 12-hour setback, requiring me to stay overnight in Chicago before finally catching a flight home to Tulsa. Despite the challenges, I am incredibly grateful for God’s protection over my journey. This experience was a reminder that, no matter the circumstances, He is always in control. Thank You & Looking Ahead I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement, and generous support. Your partnership allows us to reach more people with the Gospel and provide for those in desperate need. Please keep these ministry projects in your prayers, and if the Lord puts it on your heart to support a medical camp or a church project, I would love to discuss how you can be involved. May God bless you abundantly as you continue to serve Him. With gratitude and prayers, Anand Paul Hope for the World International Thank you for your prayers and support! Your partnership makes it possible for us to share the Gospel with the unreached while meeting critical physical needs through medical camps, orphanages, elderly care homes, native missionaries, and humanitarian efforts. We sincerely ask you to consider giving monthly, enabling us to expand this vital work and bring hope to those in need. Your generosity can make a lasting impact. Thank you for your support! Give

About The Full Story A family newly embraced by the loving arms of Christ found themselves engulfed in a trial of fire, both literal and metaphorical. Just weeks ago, an unforeseen blaze sparked by an electric short circuit ravaged their humble abode, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake. Through divine grace, the couple emerged from the flames physically unscathed, yet their worldly possessions were devoured by the inferno's hungry embrace. Imagine, if you will, their only sanctuary, a modest mud hut they called home, reduced to rubble. Their beds, their cherished belongings, all consumed by the merciless tongues of fire. Now, they seek refuge within the walls of our sacred sanctuary, their spirits buoyed by the solace of fellowship, but their earthly needs remain unmet. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we stand at a crossroads of compassion and opportunity. The task before us is clear: to rebuild not just a house of bricks and mortar, but to rebuild shattered lives, to reignite hope where despair once reigned supreme. Our hearts are stirred with a divine calling to extend the hand of love and generosity to this beleaguered family. Together, we can provide more than mere shelter; we can restore dignity, comfort, and security. The cost of rebuilding their lives, both materially and spiritually, is estimated at $6000. Let us not shrink from this challenge, but embrace it with fervent prayer and unwavering faith. I implore you, beloved brethren, to heed the call of compassion echoing from the depths of our souls. Let us be vessels of God's boundless love, instruments of His divine grace. As we sow seeds of kindness, so shall we reap a harvest of blessings beyond measure. If the Spirit moves within you to lend a helping hand, to share in the joy of rebuilding lives in Jesus' name, I humbly invite you to contribute to this noble cause. And if your heart overflows with compassion, do not hesitate to spread the word among your friends and family, that they too may join in this sacred endeavor. Together, let us bear witness to the transformative power of love and solidarity. Let us rebuild not only homes, but hope. Let us be the hands and feet of Christ, guiding this precious family out of the ashes and into the light. May God bless our endeavors and magnify our generosity a hundredfold. Amen.

The Eternal Fruit of Kingdom Work Donate Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Grace and peace to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I write to you today with a heart full of gratitude and awe for what the Lord is doing on the mission field. His hand is moving mightily, and lives are being transformed for His glory. Recently, I had the incredible privilege of traveling to India to visit and serve among our mission teams. By God’s grace, we were able to reach over 25,000 souls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ—through revival gatherings, church meetings, and village outreaches. We witnessed hundreds give their lives to Jesus, and many followed Him in water baptism. The Spirit of God is at work—even in the face of intense persecution and great challenges. He is building His Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Every soul reached… every hand lifted in worship… every life changed… is fruit that you are a part of—through your faithful prayers, encouragement, and generosity. Thank you for standing with us. If you haven’t yet partnered with us, I humbly invite you to join this eternal work—whether through monthly giving or however the Lord leads you. We are in urgent need of both prayers and support as we press forward to expand the Kingdom in these critical times. Let us not grow weary in doing good. Together, we are shining the light of Christ into places that have long sat in darkness. Thank you again for your love, your prayers, and your heart for missions. May the Lord richly bless you as you stand with us for the Gospel. In His service, Brother Paul Hope for the World International

Lesket: Intian Näkymättömät naiset Clothes distribution to poor tribal widows Christmas gifts to widows Christmas Gifts to widows Clothes distribution to poor tribal widows 1/4 www.htwi.org In many parts of India when a woman’s husband dies, the only thing that made her an honorable woman is gone. And it is the widow who carries blame and shame because of this. In her time of need, she is often declared cursed and is rejected by her neighbors, community, and even her own family. She now bears the sole responsibility of providing for any children she may have. Many other mothers find themselves suddenly alone as well, but not because of death. A husband may vanish without warning because he’s discontent with the family’s financial condition or with his wife. Now she’s left in poverty to care for their children alone. Currently, these women are typically daily wage laborers the very group hit hardest by the government shutdown recently instituted to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. Already struggling to feed their families with their meager earnings, they were suddenly unable to work.

Tue syntyperäistä lähetyssaarnaajaa: Baptisms Native Missionaries baptizing new believers Bicycles Bicycles distribution to Native missionary brothers Baptizing New believers Baptisms Native Missionaries baptizing new believers 1/4 www.htwi.org HOPE-järjestön tukemat lähetyssaarnaajat valitaan käsin ja koulutetaan palvelemaan Kristuksen rakkautta omien kulttuuriryhmiensä kanssa. Tämän seurauksena satoja uusia apurahoja on aloitettu. Voit tukea syntyperäisten lähetystyötä ja antaa kylille mahdollisuuden kokea Kristus ja kaikki, mitä Hän on tehnyt heidän hyväkseen. Miksi syntyperäiset lähetyssaarnaajat? Yksi ihmisten kanssa: Paikallisten ihmisten silmissä alkuperäiset lähetyssaarnaajat eivät edusta vierasta maata tai outoa uskontoa, koska nämä miehet ja naiset näyttävät ja puhuvat samalla tavalla kuin he. Alkuperäiset työntekijät kasvavat tuntemalla maansa kulttuurin ja tietävät vaistomaisesti parhaat tavat viestiä Jeesuksen rakkaudesta, jotta heidän ympärillään olevat ihmiset ymmärtäisivät. He ovat herkkiä naapuriensa tarpeille ja pyrkivät edustamaan Kristusta elämällään – osoittaen, että vaikka he ovat aivan kuten he, heillä on selvä ero, koska heillä on Jeesuksessa toivo. Pystyy auttamaan: Alkuperäiset työntekijät palvelevat monissa paikoissa, slummeista maaseutukyliin ja kaupunkeihin. Minne tahansa heidät lähetetään palvelemaan, Herra näyttää heille erityisiä tapoja, joilla he voivat ilmaista konkreettisesti Hänen rakkauttaan ja huolenpitoaan ihmisiä kohtaan. Joskus tämä tapahtuu tarjoamalla Jesus Wells yhteisöille, joilla ei ole puhdasta vettä. Toisinaan se on tarjoamalla tuloja tuottavia lahjoja köyhyyteen vajoaville perheille. Alkuperäiset lähetyssaarnaajat haluavat auttaa hädässä olevia maanmiehiä sekä hengellisesti että fyysisesti, ja Herra käyttää usein näitä keinoja ilmaistakseen rakkauttaan tarjotakseen ihmisille paremman ikuisuuden. Kustannustehokas: Kansalliset lähetyssaarnaajat elävät yksinkertaisesti. He asuvat kodeissa aivan kuten paikallisten ihmisten kodeissa. He syövät samaa ruokaa. He pukeutuvat paikallisiin tyyleihin. Useimmat voivat elää 80 - 160 dollarilla kuukaudessa. Kuten Kristus nöyrtyi ja tuli yhdeksi ympärillään olevien ihmisten kanssa, nämä miehet ja naiset tekevät samoin, yrittäen ylistää Häntä elämänsä kautta. Apurahat joka päivä: Alkuperäiset lähetyssaarnaajat perustavat ystävyyssuhteita joka päivä Intiassa. Heidän työnsä ja rakkautensa kautta näemme joukon kokevan uuden elämän Kristuksessa joka vuosi! Mutta mikään tästä ei ole tullut helposti veljillemme ja sisarillemme. Nämä syntyperäiset lähetyssaarnaajat maksavat suuren hinnan kärsimyksestä, vaikeuksista ja ankarasta vainosta nähdäkseen ihmisten tulevan tuntemaan Jeesuksen. Kuhunkin kulttuuriin perustetut apurahat ovat luonteeltaan aidosti alkuperäiskansoja, ja niiden tavoitteena on tulla omavaraisiksi mahdollisimman pian. Sponsoroimalla Native Missionarya saat: 1. Tee se mahdolliseksi ihmisille, joilla on ole koskaan kuullut Jeesuksesta kuulla kuinka paljon Hän rakastaa heitä. 2. Salli miesten ja naisten palvella aloilla, jotka voivat olla rajoitettu tai suljettu länsimaisille lähetystöille. 3. Palvele Aasian ihmisiä tarjota syntyperäisille työntekijöille heidän tarvitsemansa resurssit osoittaakseen Kristuksen rakkautta ympärillään oleville. 4. Jokainen syntyperäinen työntekijä on mies tai nainen, joka jo asuu Intiassa. Palvelukseen valmistautuessaan he käyvät läpi yhdeksän kuukauden intensiivisen palvelutyökoulutuksen. Seuraavat edut tekevät niistä ihanteellisia palvelemaan kaikkialla Intiassa: 1. He liikkuvat vapaasti alueilla, jotka on rajoitettu ulkopuolisille ja ovat yleensä hyväksyttyjä yhteisöihin. 2. He tuntevat kulttuuriset tabut vaistomaisesti. 3. He ovat jo oppineet kielen tai voivat helposti oppia siihen liittyvän murteen. 4. He asuvat yhteisössä, syövät samaa ruokaa, käyttävät samoja vaatteita ja jakavat samat kulttuuriset intressit kuin paikalliset ihmiset. 5. Heillä on intohimo ja taakka palvella omaa kansaansa. Se vain kestää 80 dollaria kuukausi auttaa syntyperäisiä lähetyssaarnaajia palvelemaan kokoaikaisesti ja tuomaan toivoa, joka löytyy vain Kristuksesta sitä tarvitseviin kyliin. Meillä on mahdollisuus muuttaa elämäämme Intia. Pelkästään Intiassa kuolee 22 500 ihmistä päivittäin. Jotkut heidän elämästään saattavat päättyä kuulematta koskaan hyvää uutista. Voimme tehdä tänään valinnan, joka muuttaa ikuisesti niiden kohtalon, jotka eivät ole vielä kuulleet. Potential Tools to spread the Gospel : The below-mentioned tools are very effective in sharing the gospel in the villages and reaching out to more rural villages. 1. Hand Mikes: Hand mikes are very effective in reaching out to people who are far away. Especially as native missionaries are sharing the gospel in rice fields, fishing lakes, workspaces, and outdoors, oftentimes it is hard to reach out with their voice. Not many people are able to hear them and understand what they are talking about. These hand mikes will help missionaries to reach out more people with good news. As most of our native missionaries are sharing good news outdoors, these hand mikes can powerful tool to reach many. 2. Motor Bikes: Motorbikes are powerful tools to carry the gospel to many villages. As missionaries travel to several villages to pray for the sick and encourage the body of Christ motorbikes are very helpful for traveling quickly and safely even where there are no roads. Motorbikes also enable missionaries to travel to at least many villages as per the need. Tue syntyperäistä lähetyssaarnaajaa

Gospel Vans help our leaders take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to unreached villages, overcoming distance and the lack of transportation. Learn more. Project: Gospel Vans How Our Missionaries Travel and Why Gospel Vans Are Essential Our ministry in India began with my parents in 1993 with a simple calling and a big vision: to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have never heard it. What started as a small ministry has, by God’s grace, grown over the years to reach thousands of individuals across rural and interior regions—often in places others were unwilling or unable to go. To support our missionaries, we do provide motorbikes, which are helpful for short-distance travel and accessible villages. These motorbikes allow individual missionaries to reach nearby areas where roads are narrow and terrain is challenging. However, in many hostile and unreached regions, it is not safe for missionaries to travel alone or in pairs. These areas often require strength, unity, and visible presence. When 8–10 missionaries travel together, there is safety, encouragement, and spiritual strength. Team-based travel also allows for effective ministry—preaching, prayer, discipleship, and follow-up—without placing individuals at unnecessary risk. This is where Gospel vans become critical. A Gospel van enables our missionaries to: Travel together as a team, increasing safety in hostile regions Reach deeper interior villages that are unsafe for solo travel Carry Bibles, teaching materials, and ministry supplies Serve multiple villages consistently and efficiently While motorbikes serve an important purpose, they cannot replace the safety, unity, and reach that a Gospel van provides—especially in sensitive or resistant areas. For over three decades, God has been using this humble ministry to open doors in villages once closed to the Gospel. What began in faith continues in faith, and as the harvest grows, so does the need for reliable and safe transportation. Our prayer is simple: that no missionary would have to choose between safety and obedience, and that no village would remain unreached because transportation was unavailable. Gospel Van Cost & Current Need We are currently believing God for two Gospel vans to support our missionary teams. Cost per Gospel van: $33,000 Number of vans needed: 2 Total project cost: $66,000 Capacity per van: 8–10 missionaries Each van will be used exclusively for Gospel outreach—serving as a mobile mission base for evangelism, discipleship, prayer ministry, and follow-up in unreached villages. Join Us in Taking the Gospel Forward 🚐 Help Us Place the Gospel on the Road Your partnership can help remove distance, danger, and limitation from the mission field. Whether through prayer or giving, you can play a direct role in helping missionaries reach villages that have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Ways to Give: $250 – Fuel for village outreach $750 – Sponsor one missionary seat $2,500 – Vehicle maintenance & safety support $5,000 – Partial sponsorship of a Gospel van $16,500 – Half of a Gospel van $33,000 – Sponsor an entire Gospel van Every gift—large or small—moves the Gospel forward. 🙏 Please pray and consider joining hands with us to take the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the unreached. 👉 Together, we can reach the unreached.

Hope for the World International — December Update for Our Beloved Supporters Dear Friends and Partners Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the past December and step into January with gratitude, we want to take a moment to share what God has done through your generosity during the Christmas season. Because of your faithful support, we were able to distribute Christmas gifts to over 4,500 individuals across rural and interior villages. Many of these men, women, and children have faced deep poverty, hardship, and isolation—yet through your giving, they experienced something far greater than a gift. They experienced the love of God. For many families, these gifts were not just items—they were a message. A message that they are seen. That they are not forgotten. That God knows their needs and cares deeply for them. For some children, this was the first gift they had ever received. For many adults, it was a reminder that God’s love reaches them even in the most difficult circumstances. Please Feel free to download the pdf file that has pictures : Along with the gifts, our missionary teams shared the message of hope found in Jesus Christ—praying with families, encouraging hearts, and reminding people that God’s love is real and personal. We witnessed tears of gratitude, smiles of joy, and hearts opening to the Gospel. We want you to know this clearly: people blessed God because of your generosity. Your financial partnership became a testimony of God’s faithfulness. Through you, God met physical needs and touched hearts in a powerful way. Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for giving sacrificially. Thank you for being part of this endeavor—not just financially, but spiritually. Your partnership made it possible for thousands to experience God’s love in a tangible way this Christmas season. As we move into this new year, we do so with renewed faith, knowing that together we are making an eternal impact. With sincere gratitude and prayers, T.A.

A Bag of Rice: A Christmas Gift That Transformed a Family A widow named Meena with her three young children lives in a small village called kukunur. Meena’s husband had passed away unexpectedly a few years earlier, leaving her to provide for her family alone. Every day was a struggle. Meena worked tirelessly as a daily laborer, earning just enough to scrape together one meal for her children. Despite her efforts, hunger was a constant companion in their home, and the approaching Christmas season only made their situation harder. On Christmas Eve 2023, while many families prepared feasts and celebrations, Meena’s house was quiet. The children sat in the dim light, trying to stifle their hunger with sips of water. Meena looked at their tired faces, her heart heavy with sadness and worry. She whispered a prayer, asking God for a miracle—not for herself but for her children. The next morning, Meena heard voices outside her home. Curious, she opened the door and saw a group of people with warm smiles carrying bags of rice and other supplies. One of them stepped forward and said, “Merry Christmas! We bring this gift of rice to bless you and your family.” Meena stood in disbelief, tears streaming down her face. A simple bag of rice—something that many take for granted—was now a beacon of hope for her family. It wasn’t just food; it was an answer to prayer. That bag of rice meant her children wouldn’t go hungry. It meant the burden of worry lifted, if only for a season. For the next several weeks, the rice fed her family. The children, who had been weak and weary, grew stronger. Meena found renewed strength as she saw the joy return to their faces. But more than the physical nourishment, this act of kindness brought spiritual and emotional transformation. As the children ate their meals, Meena told them, “This rice is not just food—it is a gift from God. He sees us, He loves us, and He has not forgotten us.” The children’s faith grew as they saw the love of Jesus reflected through the hands of strangers who chose to give. The simple Christmas gift of a bag of rice transformed Meena’s family not just for a day but for a lifetime. It reminded them of God’s provision and the power of compassion. That bag of rice opened the door for hope, showing them that they were not alone in their struggles. In villages like Meena’s, such small acts of generosity bring life-changing impact. A simple bag of rice can feed a hungry family, restore hope to the hopeless, and remind them of the love of Jesus Christ, who Himself said: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat... whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:35, 40) This Christmas, a gift as simple as a bag of rice has the power to transform lives, one family at a time. Let us continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing hope and nourishment to those in need. As we are preparing to help poor and needy with christmas gifts, you have opprtunity to bless and transform lives of poor and needy with your generosity. I encourage you to be belssing on this joyful season. Donate
