Purpose

World Hope Ministries International (WHMI) is a Christian ministry engaged in training pastors, growing churches, and transforming communities. Our vision is sequential; we train, we help churches become healthier so they can grow, and we work to see gospel transformation in communities. Through its Bible Institute, the training arm of WHMI, thousands of students receive quality theological education in countries located around the world. Our strategic approach has made WHMI an international leader in providing theological education to pastors in remote areas. The success has been possible because of the quality of training that WHMI provides and its growth strategy. Rather than continuing to recruit instructors from the U.S., qualified Bible Institute graduates are recruited and vetted to become instructors in new WHMI Bible Institute locations. New, second-generation locations are led by nationals within each country. This allows WHMI's training to be multiplied within countries around the world after the Institute's initial investment is made. The impact is enhanced by the fact that the Institute is a trusted and valuable partner to other Christian nonprofits, global mission organizations, and NGOs that are working to grow healthy churches and transform communities around the world. As pastors are trained, WHMI Global Reach mobilizes teams to work with trained pastors and leaders to help them realize gospel transformation in their communities.

History

WHMI was launched as a nonprofit organization more than 40 years ago by founder, Dr. Harold Davis and his wife Frances. From the beginning the singular focus as been engaging in the work of the Great Commission, a focus that has never changed. During those early years, the ministry trained and mobilized individuals from the United States to evangelize around the world. By the mid-1990s, WHMI began to develop long-term relationships with the citizens of countries such as Kenya, South Africa, India, and Honduras. As WHMI continued its work around the world, they began to see the great need of pastors to have theological training. In 2007, WHMI established the World Hope Bible Institute to deliver training to pastors in underserved and remote areas. The same passion for the gospel drives us today. WHMI works in nearly 30 nations around the world, training pastors, helping to grow healthy churches, and working to see gospel transformation in communities.
