Student Testimony 

“My time in India was impactful for me in many ways. I got to explore a new country, grow closer with fellow North Parkers, and witnessed God in a plethora of ways. The major part of this trip is the incredible partnership that North Park University has with the Hindustani Covenant Church (HCC) in India. HCC is doing kingdom work and using their resources to help the communities thrive. HCC has made schools so kids can stop collecting garbage all day. They help women who were prostitutes have a safe place to live, work, and re-experience hope. They also run clinics for people to be healthy. These are just some of the good work that HCC is doing. The India trip will forever be a part of me.”
