GLOBAL IMPACT

Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous country (115 million), with the majority Christian and some practicing Muslims.

Over ten years ago, Hosanna supported Dr. Gemechis Buba as he launched and started Leadstar Ministries. God has expanded Leadstar’s Ministry to include three TV stations reaching much of Africa and parts of the Middle East, a theological college that has trained 5,000 pastors, a K-12 school in a predominately Muslim area, a business and technical college, and many other ministry ventures.

In the last few years, Ethiopia has faced severe famine, civil war, and droughts. In the next ten years of ministry, Leadstar aims to coach 25,000 pastors in leadership development, disciple-making, and church planting in 18+ countries. Hosanna also partners with grassroots organization Ellilta which rescues women and children out of prostitution and trafficking.

Haiti is located on an island in the Caribbean, with a population of 11.4 million people. Haiti’s national religion is Voodoo, with a growing number of Christians. Multiple major natural disasters (notably the devastating earthquake and tropical storm in the summer of 2021) and political unrest have impoverished many Haitians.

Hosanna has three partners in Haiti: Haiti Teen Challenge, Healing Haiti, and Haiti Clean Challenge. Haiti Teen Challenge equips people coming from difficult backgrounds for long-term life change in Jesus Christ, along with practical jobs and life skills. Healing Haiti is a ministry that helps individuals escape the cycle of poverty through education, churches, clean water and food, and orphanages. Haiti Clean Challenge’s vision is to clean up Haiti by starting Haiti’s first contained landfill and providing locals with jobs, improving community health and morale.

India has a population of approximately 1.4 million, with Hinduism as the majority religion and Christianity making up only 2%. India is one of the most unreached countries in the world, and about two-thirds of the country is living in poverty on less than $2 per day.

Hosanna has been involved with opportunities in India since sending Jon and Swati to India over ten years ago when they launched Hands of Freedom. Hands of Freedom has two schools, equips and sends church planters, provides food and relief, trains pastors for ministry, and initiates job creation.

Since then, we have connected with two other partners in India, Abraham, and Shankar, who both lead disciple-making movements and holistic ministry (education, food, clean water, women’s empowerment) in 16 states across north India.
