We welcome you to our Love and Hope International page. We are ministering in Kigoma Tanzania in the NW, on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. We have 2 main ministries.
Helping young ladies who are either in crisis or dealing with unexpected pregnancies. Our goal is to bring them to wholeness through emotional, mental, physical and spiritual supports. Our programing includes classes for mental health, traditional song and dance, training in sewing, gardening, prayer, Bible training, and excellent fellowship. We own a rural property not far from the town center where the young ladies come Monday to Friday. It is there they find hope, true Godly love, security, and a measure of freedom from the intense pressures they deal with. God has helped many recover from a desperate crisis in their souls. We serve girls of all religions.
Once or twice a year we come to the region with a team to train local and regional Christian pastors/elders. God has given us an open door, and the training has been so warmly received. We sponsor/teach pastors conferences, marriage clinics, record video teachings into Swahili, and do one on one mentoring with church leaders. Our next trip is planned for January 2026, and we foresee this ministry arm to grow in its impact.
