Sri Lanka Boys Home
In Matthew, chapter 7, Jesus told the parable of the wise man who built his house on the rock. When the rains came and the winds blew the house did not fall down because it had its foundation on the rock. We are building a house for orphaned and abandoned boys in Sri Lanka.

Read MoreThird Transition Home
Hopeful Hearts in 2008 opened its third transition home in Ukraine. The first two homes were for girls, but this one was for the boys. The three transition homes help prevent children from living on the streets by housing selected children who have “graduated” from a traditional orphanage.
