We are serving the South Asian diaspora community in NYC, primarily focused on Punjabi Sikh, but also ministering to Pakistani Muslims. Our desire is to see a movement of disciples making disciples among the Punjabi community resulting in at least one SBB led church in each diaspora community by 2029. We lead a team comprised of Americans and Punjabi Christians. We regularly gather for prayer, equipping, and do several forms of outreach and ministry.  A year ago we started a house church where we gather with other American and Punjabi Christians (some come from a Sikh background), Sikhs, and Hindus - we have seen two people come to faith in our group since last year, and they are getting baptized next week! We are also slowly starting to train and equip local churches to reach Sikhs not only here in NYC, but in other communities throughout North America. We also work to mobilize work among Sikhs worldwide and educate Christians on who Sikhs are and how to reach them.

I (Mario) am pastoring a church plant in Mississauga Canada that focuses on the four major ministries, namely Worship, Outreach, Discipleship and Relationship. To realize those four ministries we do regular tracts distribution and friendly basketball games to reach for the people, doing regular discipleship training, and fellowship. To our utmost diligence we bring those people to the presence of the Lord every Sunday. The church was started in the midst of pandemic in August 2020.

Our Mission
Overall, we want to serve others and make intentional efforts to meet the needs of those around us by building sustainable relationships in such a way that we can effectively share the Gospel and make disciples.
         • Meet Needs                              • Build Relationships
• Share the Gospel                   • Make Disciples
Our Vision
The core of our efforts is to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to others by living our lives in such a way that people don't just hear about Jesus, they see Him through the obedience to serve and love others. As Christians, we are challenged to live as the 'Hands' and 'Feet' of Jesus - every day... and that's who we want to be here at Hands of Hope.
We accomplish this through a variety of outreaches such as Bible Classes, food distribution, discipleship programs, construction projects and more.

For the past three years me and my wife have dedicated our time and efforts to work intentionally with a smaller group of kids in La Carpio, Costa Rica. We decided to reach smaller number of people to bear fruits in a "faster" way. We are part of an organization called Christ For the City International, and we serve the international office remotely with our profession and skills.

Our mission started as a simple mission trip. But as we've learned over the last 20 years, God had bigger plans. Since taking our first steps of obedience, Set Free has grown through our network of indigenous partners to give clean water to over 3 million people, rescue over 80,000 children from slavery, baptize millions, and plant thousands of churches.
Set Free is on a mission to provide freedom through Christ. We are not a strictly humanitarian organization, but rather we are an evangelical organization that happens to do humanitarian work. We understand that we cannot make disciples of Christ if children are enslaved and have no way of hearing who Christ is and how much He loves them. We cannot make disciples of Christ if a mother is too weak from hunger to listen and absorb the Good News. We cannot make disciples of Christ if a father dies because of a water-borne disease, never hearing the name Jesus Christ.
