Our brigade 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 (like an Urgent Care Center). 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. While Window of Hope is founded upon Christian principles, we will never make acceptance of any religious doctrine criteria to receive care. We serve the poor and needy, regardless of their race, color, gender, religious, or personal beliefs. DISASTER RELIEF: HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMS: WIDOWS AND ORPHANS: EVANGELISM: MICRO-DEVELOPMENT: SPECIAL PROJECTS: 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. * If you are interested in helping us, please visit our get involved page.

Window of Hope 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 children of South Africa are our most precious recipients of humanitarian care.
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 at risk people groups to provide practical help with medical and humanitarian aid.
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 just in word, but also in deed.
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.
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.
