Celebrates special needs children & their families; also sends missionaries & mission teams
Nathaniel's Hope celebrates children with special needs (VIP kids) and their families as well as educates and equips the general population, particularly churches to practically assist these kids and families. All programs and services are provided FREE to VIP kids and their families. Nathaniel's Hope currently serves over 16,000 VIP kids throughout the year. We have developed four major programs and utilize thousands of volunteers to accomplish our mission cost effectively. The primary programs of Nathaniel's Hope include: (1) "Buddy Break" A FREE Parent's Day Out/Respite Care program for VIP kids and siblings. Nathaniel's Hope has trained over 265 churches from 32 states and Puerto Rico in our growing network of partnering churches offering our program. The program serves over 2,000 children and their siblings each month giving caregivers a much needed break. (2) "VIP International Birthday Club" VIP kids of all ages can become Club members and are initially sent a "Bearing Hope" teddy bear, then a birthday card and special surprises on their birthday, a card at Christmas, and other special recognition throughout the year. Children can also have their photograph posted online. Nathaniel's Hope currently hosts over 16,000 VIP children from 49 states & several US territories and 8 countries. (3) "Christmas with Nathaniel's Hope" has now expanded to 3 programs. "Caroling for Kids" sends caroling teams into children's hospitals on Christmas Day to share hope and encouragement with patients, families and caregivers through caroling and bearing goodies and gifts. In 2018, approximately 250 carolers participated. "Nathaniel's Toy Shop" invites parents of kids with special needs who are in financial need shop for FREE donated toys for their VIP kids and siblings. In 2018, Nathaniel's Toy Shop provided toys for over 5,000 VIP kids & siblings. "Caroling Caravan" are teams of people that deliver toys to homebound VIP families at Christmastime. (4) "Make 'm Smile" is an annual festival celebrating kids with special needs held annually in downtown Orlando. The biggest party in the U.S. hosted over 45,000 people including over 3,000 VIP kids for the 16th annual event. In addition to being a one of a kind disability-friendly fun festival that enables all to participate, over 100 resource exhibitors who serve the special needs community were in attendance educating VIP families about much needed resources that might enhance the lives of their VIP children. Nathaniel's Hope also partners with business organizations from the community to host Keep 'm Smile events. These are free, fun events for VIP kids and their families. i.e, Fun Spot invited 1,000 kids with special needs to enjoy a one day all-day pass along with 1 caregiver for FREE.
TCCI is a sending missions organization whose mission is "to share the love of God with those who know Him not and with those who want to know Him more." TCCI educates and equips individuals to serve on short term mission teams. TCCI serves as a bridge between the local church and the national host country. Short term mission teams serve on medical, construction, children's ministry, training and education, evangelism, and feeding teams that assist in benevolent care of the people. Our missionaries provide leadership training and education to help nationals start new churches. Last year TCCI sent out over 150 short term missionary volunteers to serve on missions teams to assist the poor and indigenous people, often in remote areas of Guatemala and India.
