MEDICAL CLINICS:
Window of Hope's specialty is to run short-term medical mission clinics. Our founder and President Dr. James Lindgren is broadly trained in Pediatrics, Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. Our Advisory Board is comprised of a range of medical professionals with hundreds of years of combined experience. Our experts are veterans of multiple foreign medical clinics stretching around the world.

With a commitment to quality, and through a process of continued refinement and experience in settings around the globe, we feel no other organization can rival the quality of a Window of Hope medical clinic.

Our mission clinics typically last about one week. They are set up in a locally recognized building in a targeted area of need in the third world. We erect a temporary "M.A.S.H." style clinic that usually includes medical, minor surgical, dental and optical departments. Our skilled volunteer medical professionals examine patients, and Window of Hope provides free medications with a well-stocked pharmacy utilizing only the finest medicines and supplies. All visitors to the clinic receive the services free of charge and all have an opportunity for social work, spiritual counseling and prayer. After completing our work, the local Pastors and churches agree to provide follow up to all of those who have indicated an interest to grow in Christ or who have ongoing physical or emotional needs.

HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMS:
Window of Hope also sponsors programs to feed, house and clothe the most vulnerable and at-risk people around the world. While we sponsor our humanitarian programs in various countries, our current focus makes the orphans of South Africa are our most precious recipients of humanitarian care.

WIDOWS AND ORPHANS:
Window of Hope draws on the scripture found in James 1:27: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…" As such, we target these hurting groups of people in providing practical help with medical and humanitarian aid.

EVANGELISM:
Window of hope is committed to spreading the Good News of the Gospel around the world. We take a gentle but real approach to sharing our faith. Our philosophy is to "love people until they ask us why" and to share the Gospel not only in word, but also in deed.

DISASTER RELIEF:
We have had the opportunity and privilege of providing care to earthquake and hurricane victims in the third world. Window of Hope strives to be ready to distribute life saving medications and care in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.

MICRO-DEVELOPMENT:
By partnering and networking with reliable overseas organizations and churches, Window of Hope assists in Micro-development projects. Such projects allow individuals who are faced with absolute unemployment to learn a skill and to work, raising funds to support their families. Such job skills include sewing, quilting, beadwork, brick making, bakeries, etc.

SPECIAL PROJECTS:
Window of Hope also sponsors a soccer ministry providing what is best described as a "Sidewalk Sunday School" type message coupled with a healthy game of soccer. Since soccer is such a popular game around the world, we have no trouble drawing a crowd with our free "Jesus Love You" soccer balls.

We also offer children's ministry such as story telling, puppets, clowning, face painting and drama as a part of many of our overseas trips.

At various times Window of Hope has also assisted churches and local ministries with land acquisition and construction assistance.

Window of Hope also expands into other areas such as providing first aid kits and stock bottles of medicines to AIDS patients and orphanages.
