India has the highest concentration of unreached people groups in the world. Over 1 billion unreached have never held a bible. Less than 8% are Christ followers. There are over 4,000 distinct people groups. Over 1,500 languages are spoken. Nearly 80% of Indians practice Hinduism. Another 12% of Indians practice Islam. Half of the world's orphans (approximately 26 million). India leads the world in human trafficking (child labor & commercial sex workers) as well as HIV, tuberculosis, and leprosy.\r\n\r\nWe do one thing - advance the gospel in India. We do it in one way - through the local church. We facilitate the service of hundreds of short-term missionaries to serve in India. We are constantly calling people to PRAY for India, GIVE to God's work in India, and GO to India. We find that going is the greatest catalyst for getting people to pray and give.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Bibles
ALL of our partners in India are requesting bibles. Did you know over a billion people in India have never held a bible? $10 provides 3 bibles.
Clean Water Projects
We enable local churches to be solution providers in needy villages through clean water, agriculture, and livestock projects. GHI teams provide medical and dental clinics, as well as distribute thousands of hygiene kits every year. Your support for Clean Water Projects – allows us to empower local churches with clean water projects. One clean water project cost $4,000 and provides a bore well, submersible pump, overhead tank, and 6 gravity taps. It provides clean drinking water to over 2,000 thirsty villagers.
Micro Business Development for Church Planters
By training and equipping the pastors in micro business development, Global Hope India is empowering them to stand on their own 2 feet. When they launch a business it engages their whole family in income generation. They are able to sustain their family as well as fund the development of their ministry. This broadens their witness in the community which makes their evangelism even more effective. As successful business owners they are then able to train their entire church family in economic development. This elevates the report of the church in the village.
Training Short-Term Missionaries
Jesus is on a mission! How about you? In John 4:35 Jesus said, “Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” We train 100+ short-term missionaries per year to go serve The Church in India for the advancement of the Gospel.
Orphan Care
We facilitate child & orphan home sponsorship programs. GHI teams provide child evangelism programs and minister to kids rescued from human trafficking. We help construct orphan homes, dining halls, class rooms, bunkbeds, Christmas gifts, and college tuition to improve the lives of orphans.
Leadership Development
We empower the Church in India to train new pastors that will start new churches. We provide bible literacy training as well as vocational skills training. We empower every pastor trained to stand on their own two feet financially. This produced healthy pastors that lead healthy churches. History proves the starting of new churches is the most effective means of evangelism.
Emergency Water Treatment
This one-time project of setting up 2 prototype rapid response units using the DIVVY Emergency Water Systems. They will be used in 2 flood prone areas in India. One will go to Chennai and the other one to Orissa. This will be the first time ever in India! The cost of this project is $20,000 one-time.

GLOBAL HOPE INDIA
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
