The Need
According to HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH, statistics show that before orphans in Ukraine reach the age of 21:
70% will be homeless and unemployed
20% will be in prison
10% will commit suicide
= 100% NO HOPE
In addition, UNICEF reports that young children from institutions were most at risk for human trafficking.
What would change the statistics for orphans?
HopeHouse International pursues four tiers of ministry in serving orphans.
1. Adoption into a Christian Family
In Eastern Europe, adequate square footage and designated rooms are a government prerequisite for adoption but are obstacles for most citizens.
HopeHouse International® serves orphans by assisting Christian families in Eastern Europe with the adequate housing so they can adopt three or more orphans (keeping siblings together) and raise them in their own country.
2. Trauma Healing
Abandonment, abuse, neglect and deprivation that a child endures in an orphanage creates emotional, physical, and psychological trauma.
Through the gift of adoption, the love of a family and the transformative love of Christ, children begin to heal from past traumas. HopeHouse International® supports its parents by providing them with Soul-Care™, a results-oriented therapeutic approach to parenting children/teens from trauma and creating healthy attachments so they can journey from brokenness to wholeness and discover all that God created them to be.
3. Education Opportunities
Education is an opportunity that allows our adoptees to reach their fullest potential in personal dignity and future independence.
HopeHouse International® provides Learn2Live scholarships for colleges and trade schools to those who have shown a healthy pattern of personal growth and maturity as revealed through Soul-Care™ accountability measures.
4. Eternal Generational Impact
HopeHouse International® is not about humanitarian aid. We are about Souls.
Adopted into families where the Word of God is faithfully taught creates opportunities for HopeHouse kids to experience the transformative love of Christ.
As HopeHouse adoptees marry, have children, work jobs and serve in churches, they become disciples ~ who then make disciples… creating exponential, generational impact for evangelism!
