In the remote area of Northeast China, impoverished children are often abandoned, orphaned, or left with family members who are ill-equipped to care for them. These children are found scared, hungry, and living in deplorable situations. Additionally, most drop out of school due to these conditions, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.

THRESHOLD MINISTRIES INCORPORATED’s (TMI) orphanage, Hope House for Children, opened in 2005 to provide a home, food, love, and a brighter future for China’s orphans in this region through education. Believing that education is the best way to safeguard them from a future of poverty, it is the goal of Hope House to develop a means for self reliance in each child.
