bulgariaBulgaria English Instruction
The Republic of Bulgaria was one of the most closed communist societies until the change that began in 1989. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it has passed through a time of politiacl, social and economic transition. Our Bulgaria English Instuction trips provide a relational, friendship evangelism opportunity created by teaching conversational English to individuals from the city of Zlatograd located in the Radopi Mountains in Southern Bulgaria. We have also brought encouragement to a small evangelical church in the area. Times of worship, Bible study and prayer have bonded our teams with these Bulgarian believers.bulgaria

Women's Ministries In Bulgaria
These trips have focused on serving orphans and women at risk in Sofia, the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. The team taught life skills and cottage industry opportunities to individuals in this region. NHC has concentrated service in this area of the world for many years and we have seen the Lord do some amazing work over that time.

marketGuatemala/Kids Alive
These trips provide skilled workers who share their abilities to build facilities that aid and assist orphan girls needing care. The NHC teams have helped with construction projects, educational programs and special activities for children. The purpose of Kids Alive Guatemala is to develop responsible Christian adults from children who were once in at-risk situations. They provide quality Christian homes and/or relationship-based day programs that equip the children spiritually, educationally, physically, emotionally and vocationally so that they are able to become responsible Christian adults who impact their country for Jesus Christ.

Student Ministries has coordinated trips to serve in the Czech Republic. This ministry has been aimed at bringing non-Christian students face-to-face with young believers who are excited about their faith. The goal is to communicate the love of Christ through actions and words. The friendships made have opened many doors to sharing the gospel message. These trips have been life-changing for our students and those in the Czech Republic.
