Our Story & Strategy

Why Hilltop of Hope Started

For years, we had been sharing the Gospel and building relationships with people in India. As we got to know the local struggles with human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and a cycle of poverty, we realized that the strongholds in the area were greater than we realized and were centuries-old. Particularly in the red-light areas, women and children often did not know a way out or what freedom tasted like. But the Lord had spurred a fire in us to keep returning and praying for these women. Some of the local believers in India who initially had a prejudice against these women started softening their hearts towards those trapped in the red-light districts. They came to us asking for a partnership.

They realized a key solution to truly helping the women find freedom - share Christ's love with them and teach them to make a purposeful living outside the red-light district.
What can only be described as a divine calling is why Hilltop of Hope started in 2018 - to help women find true freedom with a new way of thinking, living, and loving.

We welcome women who want to come into a restorative community where they are loved unconditionally and discipled. We teach them viable marketable skills in making quality, designer-style bags which goes a long way toward real, sustainable transformation. Initially, we thought the women would want to return quickly to their homes, however, they are so excited about Jesus that their desire is to go back into the red-light districts to spread the Gospel with others! We look forward to watching how God continues to unfold the beautiful story that we are humbled to be a part of.
