Frequently Asked Questions

Do you try and convert the people you are working with in?

Hands of Hope Ministries encourages and defends the right of all Christian and faith-based organisations, to witness through their lives, words and deeds.

Witness is not, however, the same thing as proselytism. Hands of Hope Ministries defines proselytism as the use of aid as an inducement or source of coercion for religious conversion. Nobody should be coerced or manipulated into converting to Christianity – accepting Christ must be a free decision based on consideration and judgment.

Christian witness is an essential and important part of the Hands of Hope Ministries mission. In our focused areas, families are given an opportunity for Christian education and Christian discipleship. But it’s their choice to participate.
