What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

lnM6PyVM.jpeg

We are excited to be returning to Namibia! Each year we hope to expand our outreach activities and we invite you to join us on this journey.

Christianity came to Namibia by way of Lutheran Scandinavian and German missionaries during the early nineteenth century. We partner with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Republic of Namibia (ELCRN). The church owns and runs 18 of the boarding facilities to allow the children to attend school. Many parents cannot afford the cost of housing, but the boarding facilities work together as a community to accept and accommodate every child. Due to an extreme lack of funds, many of these boarding facilities have fallen into serious disrepair. Some have one working bathroom for over one hundred children, some do not have enough beds so multiple children need to share bunks without mattresses. 

We are grateful to partner with ELCRN to help improve the children’s living conditions, hygiene, and nutrition, so that the kids of Namibia can do well in school and build a brighter future. 

On a mission trip to Namibia, you'll have the opportunity to serve in different areas, including visiting vulnerable children, construction projects, as well as engaging with our ministry partners and their local church family. You will also have the opportunity to educate and deliver hygiene kits to children, deliver and serve food along with other necessities. If you are someone who enjoys craftsmanship, you will be able to help with construction and essential repairs of boarding facilities that are in desperate need of repair to accommodate school children. When visiting with children, you will have an opportunity to distribute “Dress a Girl'' dresses, school supplies, play sports and games with children while encouraging them at school or in their community. Lastly, you have the unique opportunity to attend church and local church events with our ministry partners, giving a chance to encourage and give hope to the pastors and their church family. Each trip is unique and supports our long term partners and programs.

You'll experience firsthand…

  •  the smile of a child able to attend school for the very first time
  •  the joy of a community celebrating the gift of clean, life-sustaining water
  •  the thanks of a widow whose hands you have held in support
  •  the rich culture of a different country

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals

For over 50 years, Hope 4 Kids International has been committed to serving children living in impoverished environments around the world by establishing economic, spiritual, water, orphan, and feeding programs. In addition to these programs, we have been leading teams of volunteers on two-week international mission trips bringing life-saving provisions and the spirit of Jesus. These short-term mission trips support long term partners and programs.

H4KI reaches out to every child and community through their 4 pillars of hope: Dignity, Health, Joy, and Love. By responding to critical needs, we can significantly impact lives and assist people who are struggling to survive in destitute communities in becoming self-sufficient.

Before Hope 4 Kids International begins serving in an area, we identify and establish a relationship with an existing ministry. H4KI makes a five-year commitment, minimum, in the area.
