Welcome to HiP

Our passion is making the church visible in society by helping people who are in need. A HiP belief is, help should be available to all people regardless of their culture, background, religion or status. Anyone can receive help from members of local Christian churches.

HiP (Help in Practice) is a communication network that connects people with a need, to volunteers that want to provide the solution to their need. The person with a need is matched with a volunteer in a church in their local area. These volunteers are motivated and equipped to help by utilizing their God given talents. Our goal is to assist the church to be what Jesus speaks about in Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden... let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven”

HiP International is founded to support pioneers to start with “HiP” in their location. By being a pioneer, HiP provides coaching  and example to make HiP in any country sustainable. On their part, pioneers have to take ownership in leading the operation and embracing the vision and core values.

HiP started in the Netherlands, a story which describes the effect of HiP in action:
