HiP International
In 2009, HiP International was founded and is the umbrella of all HiP
foundations. HiP International is founded to support the church pioneers to
begin their HiP location. By being a pioneer, HiP provides the HiP vision, logo,
and database to make their church shine, through their God given talents. HiP
NGO’s will be visited annually by a part of our trained team. Our mission is to
facilitate, consult and train HiP NGO’s to be an independent foundation within
3 to 5 years. In these years we also offer financial support annually. There are
now HiP foundations in Ghana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Canada and Curacao.
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.

2. 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”. Offering practical help with a serving attitude, Christians sow
love. Our hope is for the Love of Jesus to be revealed and made visible to people

The concept and vision of HiP is conducted in a simple concept, the churches to be more visible in

need can call the helpdesk of HiP. Their information is then recorded in the
database. The volunteer’s talents and availability are recorded in our database
and are connected to a person with a help request in their area.
HiP is the networker, the connector, the link, and the matcher of
volunteers to people who have a need.
By offering an intranet environment and the HiP website makes it possible to
share marketing resources, and solutions for organizational issues between HiP
locations. The mutual sharing of knowledge and expertise is part of the vision of
Walter Willigenburg: “By sharing knowledge and experience, new pioneers do
not need to find information by reinventing the wheel.”
The ambitious vision, combined with
the simplicity of the concept and spirit in
the churches are the elements that
contribute to the success story of HiP in
the Netherlands. HiP connects faith,
business, social work and the church.
The outcome is an innovative and
enterprising way to reshape our society.
HiP Seeking Water Carriers
Since HiP International was just launched April 2010, having five countries in the
beginning stages of their HiP NGO, we are in need of Water Carriers. Water
Carriers are people that believe in the concept of HiP, providing us the necessity
we need to grow, cultivate and sow other HiP NGO’s. We would not be able to
continue without water… by means of financial support.
“There is one who waters and one who sows, both are seen as
one.” 1 Cor. 3:8
Water Carriers help HiP carry out the vision worldwide. HiP is looking for
entrepreneurs willing to invest in this innovative concept.
Are you inspired? We look forward to connect with you and talk about your
talents, gifts, abilities in terms of finance, to make HiP work.
