For my last church visit in Visak, I had the opportunity to not only spend time at a church, but also see the large building project on the same property, which included a hospital, orphanage and vocational school. A friend of mine on board from the Netherlands told me that her local church just began a partnership with this organization called Bridge of Hope. Upon arrival, you really only notice the church at first. But after walking around the back, you start to see how big the property really is. We were welcomed by a very kind older gentleman (one who has a supporter from Phoenix ironically), and enjoyed some tea while getting to know more about what B.O.H. was all about before going to the church service. Afterwards, they gave us an official tour to show the school and hospital, which is still under construction. There are many branches around Southeast India that are performing free eye surgeries and giving medical help to many people in need as well as offering scholarships to young adults who otherwise couldn't afford a college education.
