Well of Life

David L. Meyer – CEO Hand of Hope

There are one billion people in the world today who have no access to clean drinking water. Many people drink and cook everyday with water that is contaminated and as a result makes them very sick. You could help us make a tremendous difference in these people's lives. For $6,000, we can dig a clean water well and build a church where the Word of God can be shared in an entire community. Please visit our website today for more information or to make a donation to support this amazing mission.

Impact in Zimbabwe

Cassie Putnam – Hand of Hope

Before I left for the Zimbabwe Medical and Dental Outreach I prayed, “Jesus, I can’t wait to see you out there”, and indeed I did see Him. I saw God’s love pouring through the hands of the doctors, nurses, prayer team, and the many volunteers it took to bring healing to the people of Zimbabwe. We treated 2,427 patients, dispensed 9,281 prescriptions, pulled 442 teeth, saw 1,297 salvations, and much more.

Many people had never seen a doctor in their lifetime, and many walked for miles through mountainous terrain to reach our clinic. The people were sick and wounded, and I will never forget the look of distress and desperation as they formed the lines outside the gates. But after they were treated by our team of doctors and nurses, the look of desperation on their face turned to a look of hope and joy and smiles.

In any given moment, multiple people were being touched by the Lord through the hands of this medical and dental team. I wish the partners could see what was happening through my eyes, and I wish they could see what a significant impact their prayers and financial donations had on the people of Zimbabwe. When the people of Zimbabwe thanked us for helping them, they were also thanking the many partners who support Joyce Meyer Ministries and Hand of Hope.

Reaching Europe with the Love of Christ

David L. Meyer – CEO Hand of Hope

Joyce was recently in Poland, Germany, Albania and Bulgaria sharing a message of prayer, hope and encouragement. In addition to distributing books in each country’s official language, Joyce shared a message of hope saying, “At one time Europe was alive with the Word of God. Then it was dark for many years, but one by one, the lights are starting to turn back on!”

The response to the meetings in each country was tremendous. Auditoriums were filled to capacity and crowds filled overflow rooms to view a live media stream of the conference as well. Many of the people in attendance at these meeting were not Christians and as a result we witnessed many give their hearts to the Lord.

We’re honored to be part of reaching out to those in Europe, sharing the Word of God through books, TV and radio and can’t wait to see how God continues to spread His light throughout these countries.

Poland and Germany were Amazing!

David L. Meyer – CEO Hand of Hope

Our first ever visit to Poland saw great results for the kingdom. The venue was packed with people and several hundred in the overflow. Hillsong Kiev led the people in worship in 3 separate languages and it was highly anointed. After 2 services of powerful preaching over 1/2 the crowd stood up to receive salvation. What a night!

The next day in Germany we saw thousands of people sit outside on the ground and watch a video screen as the auditorium was packed. The hunger for God's word was amazing. Every time we visit Germany it seems like the people are more on fire for the things of God.

Thanks to all those who have been praying and please do not stop as we still have 2 more countries to go. Albania and Bulgaria here we come!

Visiting Australian Prisoners

Tom McKaskill - Director - Joyce Meyer Ministries Australia

We recently distributed hygiene gift bags in the prisons of the Northern Territory, Australia. This completes the third state in Australia and contacts are being made with the remaining four states for future outreaches. In all we were able to visit six prisons in Darwin and Alice Springs distributing over 1,300 gift bags to inmates. I preached to and prayed with the inmates and we had nine confirmed salvation's and immeasurable success.

It was a fantastic outreach, bringing hope to the hopeless, a light to the dark, and establishing relationships. One of the Chaplains told us “I have never seen or experienced cooperation from officers like we had that day. The material was very relevant and there have been some very positive comments from some of the guys.” Another Chaplain wrote to tell us “many of the men and women have asked me to say THANK YOU from them. They really appreciated the gift and they spoke to me the last couple of days so thank you for the time.” I give praise to God, for the opportunity to be able to be involved in such a fantastic work and look forward to the next adventure to reclaim lives!.

Humbled in Ethiopia

Kim Schmied – Hand of Hope

As an employee of Joyce Meyer Ministries, I am well acquainted with the work we are doing around the world. It has touched my heart for a number of years, but nothing compares to experiencing it firsthand. This month, I had the opportunity to travel to Ethiopia and participate in our Hand of Hope medical outreach. No amount of pictures, magazine articles or broadcasts could’ve prepared my heart for what I would encounter.

I saw extreme poverty and malnourished babies literally weeks from death. I saw people of all ages suffering from physical and emotional pain that I cannot comprehend. I saw young girls stricken with fear as they live trapped in the sex trade industry. I saw devastation at a level I have never experienced before. But more importantly I saw solutions.

I saw physical pain relieved. I saw bellies filled. I saw girls rescued from human trafficking and a momma being reunited with her baby. I saw our medical volunteers treat 2,110 patients, prescribe 7,625 prescriptions and lead 433 people to the Lord! I watched as love surpassed cultural barriers to mend broken hearts, ease heavy burdens and restore hope to those who feared it was lost forever.

I am humbled to be a part of what God is doing in Ethiopia and to be a part of a ministry that is making an eternal impact in that nation and many others around the world.

Feeding Iraqi Refugees

David L. Meyer – CEO Hand of Hope

Noury was living in Mosul, Iraq when the school his children attended was bombed. The explosion injured his children's hands and heads, but they survived. The children had already been persecuted at the school for being Christians. The danger that was already a large part of their daily lives was growing. Life became unbearable for Noury; he had to leave his job and was forced to sell his car in order to pay for the passports and tickets he and his family needed to move to Lebanon.

In Lebanon, Noury found that life wasn’t any easier. He had to spend all he had for rent, sacrificing one of the most essential needs, food. His five children, too young to work, left him as the sole provider. The monthly food distribution his family receives through Heart for Lebanon, a ministry partner of Joyce Meyer Ministries, he says, is a gift from God. This is just one of the many ways Heart for Lebanon is making a difference in the life of refugees. Thank you for your support that helps feeds those who suffer because of the Gospel.

Supporting Skills Training in Djibouti

David L. Meyer – CEO Hand of Hope

One of our Hand of Hope Directors, Gary Preston, and I recently visited this skills training site in Djibouti. This center is supported by Hand of Hope and teaches the trade of sewing so women will have a chance to move out of the refugee camp where most have lived for many years.

As a result of many conflicts and the Somali war, the UN has set up this camp in Djibouti. This part of the world is a very poor and incredibly warm area. Temperatures can reach 120 degrees in summer, although it was a cool 100 degrees while we were there. As you walk throughout the camp the hope we all take for granted is not very evident, but projects such as this one take steps towards restoring that hope. Thanks for helping us help these precious people.

Providing Tornado Relief in the U.S.

Joyce Meyer

Recently, natural disaster struck in my own hometown, and the devastation broke my heart. When this happens, you tend to take it personally…like your own family is hurting. Through Hand of Hope and your financial support, we are always poised to help in disasters anywhere in the world God allows. So when tornadoes struck in the Southeastern US and the St. Louis area—my backyard—I was so grateful we were able to act and reach out with a comforting hand in Christ's name to help rebuild and restore those affected. Because when your loved ones are hurting, you want to help in any way you can. Reaching the world begins at home.

So as we team up with churches and other organizations in these areas, I hope you will join with us in prayer for our "family's" needs to be met and for our teams to get the supplies and support to help rebuild their communities.
