Having a little park right next door makes it easier to meet new moms who bring their little ones to play; for the kids to get to know us (as people rather than just foreigners); and for House of Hope to reach out and be known among new families in the neighborhood.

The Women’s Ministries Leadership Team has chosen to bless and encourage our missionaries Dean and Linda and their community in Japan, with a gift to improve their neighborhood playground.  It has been a difficult year, but we have been blessed by their faith and trust in God as they have shared their journey through Dean’s recovery in the midst of the Covid pandemic and its restrictions.  Please check out the Annual Report to find out more details describing this project and what it would mean to their ministry.
