Village of Hope

Training Center for Outcast Women

One hundred women and their children live as outcasts in Dukana and the surrounding area. The Village of Hope Rescue Center exists to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to their lives. We use Firm Foundations: From Creation to Christ discipleship materials to give the women a Biblical foundation. We also teach math and reading literacy as well as beading, sewing, crochet, and baking. The center sponsors health care, food needs, and provides education for their children. We currently house four women and twelve children at the church property. We hope to build another building to host four more women and their children for in depth training and care.  We believe these women are meant to be image bearers of Jesus Christ and seek to speak His love and life into their hearts. 

Current Program

The Village of Hope program runs in 12 week cycles. Women come to receiving Bible teaching, literacy, and practical hands on skills. Successful completion of the program opens doors for them to receive sponsorship for their children to go to school. Through Bible teaching, women can come to know the Hope that is found in Jesus Christ. Literacy empowers them to function more successfully in a literate society. Hands on skills give them an opportunity to earn an income.
