About the Mission ~ And How You Can Help!

Why does the Open Hearts Helping Hands mission exist?

In Thailand, the primary religion is Buddhism. Buddhism is a religion where help is not offered to others. In fact, the Buddhist monks go outside the temple three times a day to beg for food. The Thai people, many of whom are very poor and don’t have enough food for their own families, offer food to the monks.

When someone wants to put in sustainable water systems, pay for their children’s education, build libraries in small villages, and figure out other ways to help, people ask why. They are confused about this assistance and want to know what the catch is. When they’re told that the answer is, “Because God loves you,” they want to know who God is. They want to know what God is about. They are open to the gospel.

To us, your support helps with food, water, and education. To the Thai people, this shows them that God is real and that He cares about them enough to send someone to help them break free from poverty and starvation. When their bellies are full and their minds are learning, they want to know more about this Jesus who instructed others to give to the poor without expecting anything in return.
