Hope Shelter

HOPE Temple has entered into a partnership of love with a local orphanage, Echoing Hills. Our aim is to provide an avenue for spiritual, physical as well as mentorship for the children/young adult residents at Echoing Hills. We fellowship together every Sunday. Ultimately, we want their world to be bigger than the orphanage; their friends more that their colleagues; opportunities broader than those offered by visitors; and their experience with God more intimate than their pains and fears.

The children are currently being assisted in diverse ways to unearth talents that hitherto were supressed by their lack of confidence. There is a complementary counselling session that is done very Sunday to help them have better understanding of their experiences and to embrace their live challenges as well as opportunities.

For every quarter, there are themes that the church shares to help guide our relationship and support. For instance we had the 1st quarter of 2016 dedicated to ‘personal needs’ whereby personal effects were donated by church members. The 2nd quarter was on education and so the church donated items of educational value.

We are quick to note that we do not mention these activities and our support to solicit commendation; rather to inspire other like-minded people to partner us or to contact the orphanage directly to support them.
