What We Do

(This website is best viewed via mobile by using CHROME browser)

There are two kinds of NHI associates: national and expatriate.  National associates serve in their own country.  Expatriate associates serve in a country not their own.

Our associates can be involved in almost anything that  brings justice, mercy, and beauty to the nation of people they serve.  NHI associates may preach and plant churches; they may teach children or teachers; they may build homes, schools or hospitals; they may dig wells, practice medicine, start businesses; they may operate hostels or hospices; they may sing, play music, perform drama, or paint pictures.   Our associates are involved in the lives of the people among whom they serve in whatever way they can best serve them.

What NHI does is work to ensure that our associates fulfill their call, realize their fullest potential in serving others, and complete the journey to which they have committed themselves.   That commitment may be two years or ten; it may be a lifetime.

NHI provides three things:

  1. Mission community with a sense of belonging to ensure that spiritual anchoring which will keep associates from personal or family shipwreck.
  2. Leadership availability to ensure that if an associate needs help with anything, they are not alone.
  3. Very basic and limited organizational infrastructure to ensure that good stewardship of financial resources which will keep associates from corruption or bankruptcy.
