  3. 3 Empower With English Skills

    After the mission trip, English Zoom classes are offered to help locals further develop their teaching skills. Through online classes, we aim to build meaningful relationships & mentorships rooted in discipleship and growth.

  4. 4 Locals Serve Their Communities

    Once trained in both heart and skill, local teachers are encouraged to serve their own communities by teaching in schools, after-school programs, or other local initiatives.

My Testimony

I once felt lost, chasing something I thought defined my worth, while burying my first dream of becoming a teacher because I believed I wasn’t good enough. But God met me in that place and slowly led me back to Him, giving me the courage to walk away from what was breaking me and unexpectedly opening the door for me to step into education.

There, I rediscovered a passion and calling I had hidden for years, and as I grew, God placed a bigger vision on my heart – not just to teach, but to equip others. Through a series of clearly opened doors, I said yes without knowing the full plan, and step by step, HADA was born.

Through education and equipping, we strive to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations, trusting that what began as a small act of obedience will continue to impact lives far beyond us.
