On December 26, 2004 the coastline of India was among many places hit by a tsunami - leaving in its wake much death and destruction. Many people were left homeless as their homes were turned into a pile of bricks. Listeners of 88.3 The Wind and other RTN Family stations responded with nearly $1,000,000 in donations for the Homes Of Hope Tsunami Relief Effort. Thanks to those who responded, homes for the survivors are currently being built in the southern part of India.

In September of 2005 two teams from the US went over to help build those homes. Now it is time for someone to go again. February 3-18, 2007, we will be sending a team over to help build more homes. You can go, too... Download the application and begin the process. In addition to the home-building, we will be assisting developing Church plants in the area with other ministry.
