Tomorrow's Hope

Tomorrow's Hope Tomorrow's Hope is a mission to meet the needs of the underprivileged children in Nias Indonesia.

I was in my late 30s and God had laid this burden on me even before I came on full-time ministry as a co-worker. I completed my Bachelor of Theology (BTH) with Singapore Bible College and served a few years with Jurong Christian Church. My calling was specifically to Indonesia, and so I did just that. In late 2001, my wife and I decided to fully commit to this mission work. When the tsunami happen

ed, the shelter was overrun with orphaned and needy children. Having been away in Indonesia these 2 decades in Nias to setup the children's shelter, empower them with equal education and enable them to earn a living has been a blessing.

ANNUAL REPORT 2026 PART 3 - FARM & INFRASTRUCTURE

Aside from ensuring their emotional, spiritual and academic wellbeing, the shelter strives to ensure their physical needs continue to be met. The staff aim to meet the diverse requirements of the children nutritionally, and also ensure the upkeep of dormitories and basic amenities like toilets which would otherwise be considered luxury in this part of the world.

FARM
Yayasan Harapan Hari Esok owns approximately 10 hectares of farmland surrounding the complex. However, the land has not yet been fully utilized. Part of the land consists of coconut trees that are not well maintained, while the banana plantation is also in poor condition. The remaining areas are still covered with wild trees and grass, resembling forest land.

At present, the children of the orphanage participate in entrepreneurship development activities every Saturday by helping to clean and maintain the garden. This includes clearing around the banana and durian trees.

BUILDINGS & RENOVATION
Yayasan Harapan Hari Esok has various facilities and buildings that serve as accommodation and activity spaces for the children. At present, we report that some of these buildings remain in good condition, some are still usable but require repairs, while others are no longer suitable for use.

One multipurpose hall, capable of accommodating approximately 500 people, is equipped with a kitchen and also serves as the community dining hall. It remains in usable condition.
At present, the perimeter fencing requires repairs. Several fence posts and sections of the wall have become weak, and parts of the wall have collapsed. Some of the collapsed sections have recently been rebuilt with new brickwork. However, certain sections remain unrepaired due to lack of funds.

ANNUAL REPORT PART 2: CHILDREN'S CHARACTER DEVT & WELLBEING

The faith statements of Harapan Hari Esok Community has always been to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and acknowledge the Holy Scriptures as the norm for faith and life. Our main objectives are:

- To proclaim the Gospel to all people in the nation of Singapore.
- To participate in world wide mission.
- To gather into fellowship those believers who respond in faith to the call of the Gospel.

As our children grow spiritually and gain the intellectual means to survive through education, we also monitor their growth socially to improve their emotional quotient simultaneously. Having come from impoverished backgrounds, the children are stunted in how they regulate their emotions. Hence they require prayer in emotional maturity as much as in their academics.

In this blog post, we provide individualised breakdown for each child's character development, which you may pray over - https://www.tomorrows-hope.life/post/annual-report-2026-part-2-character-devt

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The goal for this year is $25,000. This amount will amply supply the ever-growing needs of the orphanage. Please consider giving directly to the ministry so that you make the most impact with your resources.

ANNUAL REPORT PART 1: CHILDREN'S ACADEMIC PROGRESS

We are grateful for each of you in your various means of support over the years - whether in volunteering, in donating or in praying - all of which have been vital in keeping the flame alive in the staff and the beneficiaries. As you've seen the ups and downs of the ministry, we appreciate you sticking with the team through thick and thin. Tomorrow's Hope strives to do better by you and the beneficiaries. In this blog series, sections of our committee's annual report submitted in Jan 2026 to the Indonesian government are translated and published in a few parts here.

Every child in Yayasan Harapan Hari Esok (Tomorrow's Hope) is nurtured both spiritually and physically by introducing Lord Jesus Christ to them, teaching them to live by following the example of Christ, and to live depending on Him. In addition, our children are required to receive education in schools that have a partnership with us, namely at Lentera Harapan School (Lantern School of Hope), and some also at public schools within driving distance.

While we provide the basic necessities and shelter for the children in the home, we aim to instill in them the importance of receiving education in order to develop their intellectual and social skills in a safe learning environment. With the shelter’s longstanding partnership with Lantern School of Hope (the nearest school to us), we ensure these rural poor beneficiaries continue in their studies unabated.

In this blog post, we break down each child’s academic progress, or lack thereof, and request prayers for each of these beneficiaries: https://www.tomorrows-hope.life/post/annual-report-2026-part-1-children-s-academic-progress
