Overview

Mission

The mission of Reformation Hope, Inc. is to bring Christ-centered transformation, opportunity, and hope to disadvantaged people all over the world through the application of Reformed Faith principles and material assistance, impacting orphanages and childcare, education, healthcare, food resources, water supply, and micro-enterprise business development.

Reformation Hope, Inc. continues to provide ongoing financial support for the operation of the New Joy House orphanage, located in Marin, Haiti. The assistance is used by Souls Winning Ministries (the organization in Haiti overseeing the orphanage project) in order to provide housing, food, clothing, education, healthcare, and social services for orphaned or abandoned children. Assistance also supports the orphanage staff who care for the children, the purchase of needed supplies, food, and fuel, as well as the purchase of necessary medications for the children. Twice yearly, containers of used furniture and other donated items are also sent to Souls Winning Ministries.
