Ripe for Harvest, Sierra Leone
Earl and Clare Reifel have a passion for unreached people. Their missionary career has been focused in Sierra Leone ministering in evangelism, discipleship, church planting and Bible school building. They trained and served with Evangelistic Teams to reach remote areas wit the Gospel.
Since returning to Michigan they continue to serve the church in Sierra Leone. They speak in churches in the US challenging them with the need for missions. They also serve the church in Sierra Leone by phone and the internet by responding to questions from the church leadership and encouraging them in their outreach ministries. Part of this includes raising funds to build new churches and to put in water wells in remote villages. Earl & Clare are grateful to NHCC for partnering with them at the Bible School. You may even see them worshiping with us on a Sunday.

Faith in Deeds, India
Faith in Deeds rescues orphaned and abandoned children from India’s slums by providing a loving, safe, 24/7 home for them. The children are cared for as long as they need a home or until they can be reunited with their family. Children learn to live out their faith in Jesus by reaching out and serving others in their community. A small agricultural business helps to provide good quality food, learning opportunities for the children, and local jobs, while helping to sustain the Children’s Home.
For teens at the Children’s Home who are finishing high school, talents and goals are assessed and college scholarships and job connections are made. They go into the workforce with God’s Word hidden in their hearts, making a difference in the community.

Mission India
Did you know that one-third of unreached people groups of the world are located in one country? India is the most unreached nation. Over 400 million people in India have never heard of Jesus, and less than 2% of the people are Christian. Poverty levels are very high and only one out of four people can read and write.
The vision of Mission India is to see India changed by the love of Christ. Their mission is to equip India’s Christians to plant reproducing churches. Mission India does not send missionaries, but rather provides ministry partnerships with the indigenous people, 100% Indian nationals. Churches are planted by them in their communities. The Mission India partnership provides training, resources, and accountability to help them be self-sustaining and successful. Children’s Bible Clubs, Adult Literacy Classes, and Church Planter Training come out of the churches that are planted. Mission India measures the results by visiting programs and reporting back to their sponsors.
New Hope Indian Church Planters are seeing doors open for the Gospel among many who have never heard. They have shared the Gospel with hundreds of families, provided relief for those without food and necessities during the COVID pandemic, and planted a new church. NHCC is sponsoring church planters.
