Sharing the HOPE of
Christ…
Hope Evangelical Church is located on
the eastern edge of the city of Hyderabad, India. In the heart of
great spiritual darkness, with 22 Hindu temples in the area, God
has raised up a beacon of hope for the lost.
From a humble beginning of seven
families (about 30 members) in 2001, Hope Evangelical Church has
grown to over 300 families and 1,200 members! 80% of the
congregation comes from non-Christian background.
The new church building was dedicated
for the glory of God on June 18th 2006. It currently serves
as the home for New Hope School, New Hope Childrens Home, as well
as Hope Evangelical Church.
On Easter weekend last year, 70 new
converts followed the Lord in baptism. The church members went into
the streets on Easter morning and handed out 6,000 Gospel tracts in
the community!
Each year on our mission trips to
India, one of the biggest blessings is to worship and praise God
alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ in Hope Evangelical
Church.
