Desert Hope International Staff

“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, and not men.” Ephesians 6:7

We are all Volunteers. We have been amazed as the Lord formed this ministry and brought us together. We believe in His work. Please pray we will serve with integrity, purity and unity to bring blessings to the Holocaust Survivors and glorify God.
