The missions that Hope Centre supports
Hope Centre supports an evangelist who has a small church and travels by motorbike into villages evangelising with the Jesus Video and children’s programmes. He started a local church to disciple those saved.
Hope Centre supports the ministry of a local pastor in Andhra Pradesh. He and his wife have 50+ satellite churches, house a small orphanage alongside some elderly and widows. They undertake many projects including bible distribution, church plants, water projects for villages and tribes they care for, Transforming lives project (ongoing ministry to women rescued from backgrounds in Prostitution, abuse, infanticide, sex trafficking - through provision of sewing machines to give women skills and education). They have future plans for permanent Orphanage and Elderly home, also plans for Bible School to train up Pastors.
Hope Centre has a historical connection with the founder of this bible college. The founder was saved in the 1950s, through members of the church sharing the gospel with seamen who came into Wellington port. The aim of the bible college is to train students to pioneer churches in the unreached areas of the state, and sending evangelists to other states in India. Due to increasing restrictions in this area of India we don’t share details online. There is need for prayer in the provision of resources and protection.
Pentecostal and Charismatic in ethos, World Outreach has a passionate belief in the life-changing power of the Gospel and a dependence on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Through World Outreach, we support a local evangelist in a nation in Asia where the church is persecuted. Please pray for safety, provision, and doors to be open for the missionary we support.
International Needs (IN) assist national church leaders to grow the church in their own countries. A core value of IN is that local nationals are best placed to identify the needs of their people and develop programmes and projects to meet those needs. Hope Centre partners with IN by sponsoring a local evangelistic pastor in Asia. Although he can currently openly have a church, the government is becoming more restrictive in how they are able to operate. Please pray for protection and provision in an increasingly difficult area to minister.
Hands of Hope was established by Duanne and Jenny Newport. The purpose of Hands of Hope is twofold: spiritually – bringing people into an encounter with God, and practically – helping the poor and needy. Their vision is to see the areas in which they work transformed to God’s Kingdom values in all aspects and at all levels of society, bringing freedom and healing to people living in poverty. Over the years they have been able to build a full elementary school, plant churches, raise leaders, run seminars, sponsor high school and college students. Over the years, teams from Hope Centre have been to visit and minister.
Hope Centre supports evangelists that travel through the highlands, sharing the gospel and ministering to local congregations. Due to security issues, we don’t share more information online. Please pray for safety as they travel, and breakthrough in the villages to receive the gospel and God as the one true God.
Alana is a Hope Centre member, who God called to serve in Mexico under Kaleo International – a missions and church planting ministry. Alana and Pablo now have 2 girls, Emilia and Hazel. In 2024 they, along with another couple, pioneered a church plant in Oaxaca, with the aim of establishing a church and missions base in the city. From the base in the city they send teams into the mountain towns and villages, sharing the gospel and planting house groups. Please pray for resources for Alana and Pablo and the church plant, and safety for the teams as they travel in the mountains.
In 2004 Ps Hevekhu invited Seth Fawcet and Steve McWilliams to go to Nagaland with the vision and purpose of freshly stirring the fires of revival. Ps Hevekhu also had a vision to establish a Bible College in Dimapur, Nagaland, focused on church planting in North East India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Myanmar. The construction of the Academy for Theology and Missions was finished in 2015 and Hope Centre continues to support financially and also with regular visits over the years. There is an ongoing need for prayer for provision for teachers, students, and resources, and also prayer for protection in a political environment which has become more hostile to our Christian faith.
