What Will We Be Doing?
Join us as we travel to Hyderabad and Kolkata, India, serving alongside Global Hope Partners staff and long-time mission partners, Peter and Esther Pereira. With decades of experience in ministry, Peter and Esther will be with us throughout the trip - helping us engage meaningfully in each setting.  

This trip offers a unique opportunity to step into what God is doing in India. Our primary focus will be encouraging and equipping believers through Bible-based teaching, helping deepen faith and strengthen local communities. We will also pour into a group of women attending GHP’s Empowering Women program, helping them discover their God-given worth and grow in confidence and purpose. Prior teaching experience is not required - training materials and curriculum are provided, equipping you to lead with confidence. 

 Additionally, you’ll also have the chance to build meaningful connections with children in local villages through fun activities and lessons. Throughout the trip, we’ll experience GHP’s Compassion Ministries firsthand, with potential visits to sewing centers, participating in soymilk distribution, and seeing lives being impacted in tangible ways.  

A highlight of the trip will be time spent at the Alpha Home, where you’ll meet and encourage children who are being cared for and supported through GHP’s residential program. Along the way, we will do sightseeing in both locations, ensuring you get to experience the culture and beauty of India.
