Dr. James Lindgren is the Founder and President of Window of Hope. Known to most simply as Doctor Jim, he felt called to preach the Gospel at the young age of 8, but always had a keen interest in medicine and science. It wasn't until his sophomore year of college, while studying in the basement of his college library, that Doctor Jim finally grasped what he felt was God's calling upon his life: to preach the Gospel, but to do so using the platform of medicine.

Thus began a journey to complete College, Bible College, Medical School, Internship and Residency. After completing his medical training in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Doctor Jim practiced in a small town type Family Clinic in Surprise, Arizona. This was followed by training and practice in Emergency Medicine.

Dr. Jim went on his first medical mission trip to Creel, Mexico in 1990. There he saw the great need of others and fell in love with caring for the needy. Numerous other trips followed and through his experiences and noting the limitations of other groups, Doctor Jim felt motivated to found an organization that could best serve as a platform to share the Good News of the Gospel not just with words, but also in deed.

Window of Hope was thus born from the vision of Doctor Jim to use the platform of medicine and humanitarian relief in providing a practical demonstration of Christian love. In so doing, Window of Hope strives to provide the absolute best "product" we can to suffering people. It is Window of Hope's policy to never use expired medications or to give less than our best to those in need.

Through the generosity of Doctor Jim and his wife Monica pledging their life savings to launch Window of Hope, we have been able to grow from infancy to a rock solid and well respected charity, which is literally touching thousands of lives each year all over the world.
