The Vision
We’re so excited to share the vision of Hope for Tomorrow with you!
Habakkuk 2:2 tells us: “ Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”
So we have written the vision down and want to share it with you.
Hope for Tomorrow, or HFT, is a ministry dedicated to rescuing orphans, restoring lives, and transforming communities through G0d’s love.
HFT was founded by Nicola and two directors in 2008, following her years as a solo missionary. Since then, G0d has expanded the vision, and in 2025, we’ve officially rebooted HFT to take this mission to the next level.
Our goal is to be in-country by the spring of 2027 and establish a thriving, Chr*st-centered orphanage in Central Asia by Spring of 2029.
From now to 2027 we’re preparing to leave America and develop systems and plans we’ll need there.
Between 2027 and 2029, we will lay the groundwork—building relationships, learning the language, and setting up secure facilities where orphaned children will be raised in faith, love, and purpose.
We see a place where children are saved, healed, and set free, where they discover their G0d-given identity, receive life skills, and grow into leaders who will break cycles of poverty and create positive changes in their nation.
This isn’t just about a building or facilities as important as those are—it’s about creating a sustainable, Sp*rit-filled community.
We envision farmland, gardens, green houses, clean water, renewable energy, and micro-enterprises where the children can learn valuable, marketable skills.
We also see a thriving ministry team—teachers, caregivers, builders, agriculturalists, mechanics, and more—dedicated to shaping young lives and impacting the surrounding communities with the love of G0d.
And all of this is made possible by believers who are passionate about orphan care and the kingdom.
Will you pray with us? Will you believe with us? And as the L0rd leads, will you take part in this mission?
Together, we will make the Central Asian orphanage a reality.
This October we’re taking a trip to Central Asia, halfway around the world, to meet with our in-country attorney and look for adequate facilities for the orphanage.
We’ll be there for about 3 weeks and need your agreement in prayer that we find the perfect location and facilities, and that our meetings with our attorney and other friends of the ministry there go perfectly.
This trip is important because we believe it will form the foundation of our ministry there.
We are believing G0d for our orphanage start-up costs, which we will need within the next 2 years.
If you’d like more details, please email us and we’ll share more about that.
Thank you! G0d bless you!
We’d like to add a little personal note. Because we don’t get to see many of you often. If you can believe it, it’s barely spring here in Colorado.
Drew is speaking at a church an hour and a half from our home this Sunday, May 25. While we are up in the mountains, we will buy plants from a greenhouse there that has high altitude plants we can grow on our deck.
This is our fourth year in Colorado. The first year I thought, “Oh! A nice sunny deck!” and I put out most of my plants that I had brought from home, and most of them burned to a crisp from the strong sun and high altitude. I’m really excited to get some plants that will survive here. Gardening is not for the faint of heart in the mountains!
Our gardening here will be directly applicable to growing food there, because the climate and altitude are nearly the same as the Rockies. While there are local markets in villages, the food supply is nothing like America. We will need to grow food for survival and so the orphans will thrive!
