History

Building Hope Ministries, Inc. (BHM) was birthed in March 2007 as a result of Michael Callahan's first India missions trip in 2006 and a burden laid on his heart by the Spirit of the Lord in February 2007 to reach out to the people of Andhra Pradesh, India; specifically the West Godavari District.

From March 2007 through May 2007, a Board of Directors was formed for the ministry in addition to a praise and worship team known as The Project. In May 2007, BHM was incorporated in the state of Maryland. Two additional directors were added to the ministry in October 2008.

Since its inception, BHM has been involved in seven missions trips to India.
In 2007 and 2008, most of the missions work took place in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh (AP), India and surrounding villages. Other ministry activity occurred in Hyderabad, AP, India. This trip was very strategic in nature as future plans were discussed for churches, schools, and orphanages.

In 2009 and 2010, all ministry activity occurred in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, and its neighboring villages.

However, we are now exploring new areas of ministry opportunity in other parts of India as well as East Africa, and possibly Haiti.

Building Hope Ministries, Inc. is an approved 501(c)3, non-profit organization. This status was given to the organization during the first quarter of 2008.
