+ INDIA
TAMAR MINISTRY
This Jesus-modeled ministry was birthed in Mumbai, India, in 2007 with the mission of leading women out of the demeaning and destructive profession of prostitution, in addition to rescuing girls who have been driven into sex trafficking. Spiritual mentoring is provided for the women who are part of Tamar, along with providing basic initial needs, medical care, and training for job opportunities for their future. When one of the Tamar leaders in Mumbai had to escape to Kolkata (Calcutta) in 2018, she took with her a great passion for the Lord and a desire to rescue sex workers there. The Tamar Kolkata ministry has been very successful in its brief life, with many baptisms.

Dr. Sierra is a Guatemalan medical doctor supported by Woodmont Hills through Health Talents International. Serving as medical director of Clinica Ezell, he also operates mobile clinics throughout the surrounding rural area treating the Mayan Indian population, most of whom live in abject poverty. His spiritual significance is realized in the number of patients who desire his prayer over their lives. North American surgeons volunteer their time to perform surgery, and local Christians do follow-up while sharing the love of Christ with patients.
MISSION EDUCATION
Because we believe in nurturing interest in missions among young people, Woodmont Hills annually allocates a portion of its missions budget for partial funding of short-term, foreign mission trips. It is not uncommon to hear that these are life-changing experiences for the students. At this time, priority is given to college-age young people with a connection to Woodmont Hills and to areas where we have a missionary presence.
“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”
