We believe in partnerships - working together with other people of God. So if the Lord burdens you, we welcome you to be a partner with us in fulfilling the vision of HITHA, which is God's vision that He has given to us. You can be a partner by way of prayer, volunteering, contributing financially and passing on the vision to others.

Summary:

*** Praise the Lord that we have already got the Water Dispenser, two Lap Top Computers, and the LCD Projector because of the generous contributions of some of our own board members and others who are excited about the vision of HITHA.  We at HITHA (Hyderabad Institute of Theology and Apologetics) are grateful to God for our friends/partners who partnered with us and bought these items over the past 8 months.

*** If the Lord burdens/motivates and enables you, please come along and partner with us through your prayers and financial contributions so that we might be able to “equip the saints/the Christians in the market place for works of service” for God’s glory and the blessing of people (Ephesians 4: 11-13).
