New Hope Institute

New Hope Institute of Childcare and Family
Mission: To train and equip men and women of God who will faithfully and effectively bring the “Fatherhood of God to the fatherless” children of the world, for the Glory of God and for the joy of His people.

Goal:
To envisioning, training, and networking NHICF will equip God’s people to work with this generation of fatherless, to give to others what they have freely received.
From a biblically reasoned approach and from almost twenty years of experience working with the fatherless, the orphaned, and the neglected and hurting children of Uganda, NHICF will help prepare God’s people for effective and fruitful ministry.
Currently NHICF is running two courses yearly from the months of January-May and July-November (with the exact dates subject to change). The course consists of over 20 weeks of intensive classroom study with ministry leaders from New Hope Uganda, as well as different speakers from America, the UK, and other parts of the world to address different topics. Topics covered include: exposing cultural worldview and developing a biblical worldview, theological foundations, biblical foundations of marriage and family, biblical child-training, biblical counseling, business management, Christian education, and various topics relating to establishing and maintaining a ministry like New Hope Uganda.
Though learning takes place in the classroom, the real classroom is all of New Hope Uganda! Students will work hands-on with the different family groups here at New Hope, putting into practice things learned in the classroom, while also gaining valuable experience in such areas as gardening, family group relationships and dynamics, self-sufficiency, and ox plowing!

Around the world, the number of fatherless, orphaned, abandoned, neglected, and hurting children is growing at an alarming rate. In the world’s eyes, this is a hopeless tragedy. But, by the grace of God, and the valiant actions of His people, this hopeless tragedy can be transformed into an unprecedented opportunity to reach children for the kingdom of God for the generations to come. In response to this ever-increasing need and opportunity, New Hope Institute for Childcare and Family was opened in May of 2002 to train and equip men and women to bring the Fatherhood of God to the fatherless. In a five-month course of lectures, study, and practical hands-on experience, NHICF provides its students with a foundation from which they can move into a richly rewarding ministry to the fatherless and the orphan.
So far, we have graduated four classes, and will be having two separate courses in 2008, one beginning in January and one in June or July.
