Outreaching to the Lost, Sick and Hurting with the Fullness of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
With the grace and favour of God, Fresh Hope Ministries International continue to expand the work with the poor, orphans and the disadvantaged in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
We have recently opened a second Children's Care Centre (orphanage), the of 'House of Dreams' for vulnerable and orphaned children complimenting the already established 'House of Hope' orphanage
In October 2007 we opened 'Heaven's Garden' Baby Rescue Centre - and orphange specifically for babies whose mothers have died in childbirth and there is no other means of support for the baby orphan. Sierra Leone has the highest maternal death rate in the world.
All our projects are supervised and managed directly by our own staff on the ground with full accountablity to the UK Charity.
Although Fresh Hope Ministries International is a UK based Charitable Trust based in Bangor, Northern Ireland our Operations Centre is centred in Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone.
Fresh Hope Ministries International works solely in Sierra Leone and does not have a call from God to any other countries at present.
