Hand of Hope

Hand of Hope is the international ministry/outreach arm of Joyce Meyer Ministries. 

EFG greatly admires Joyce Meyer and all of her ministry's works.  But last November at a conference in Tampa, FL, Byron and Shannon really learned about all of Joyce's international efforts.  They immediately decided to partner with Joyce Meyer Ministries, and they have been exceedingly blessed in doing so.  EFG wants to see all the nations reached with the salvation and loving power of Jesus Christ.  Hand of Hope does just that.  Hand of Hope currently has many programs, and we will share a few of them here. 
  • They feed thousands with both Spiritual food and natural food in many countries, including Ethiopia, Mexico, South Africa, and India.
  • They see God heal the sick through the preaching of faith, the laying on of hands, and practical, natural medicine.  They have medical outreaches in places such as Cambodia, Haiti, India, Africa, and South America. 
  • They bless and protect God's precious children, victims and refugees through their homes and programs in places like Uganda, Thailand and Peru.
  • They also do many of these same works here in the USA, blessing those in need right here at home.  I once heard Dr. Creflo Dollar say, "you want God to send you to the nations, but God can't send you to Kroger (local food mart)."  We must be sensitive to the ministry opportunities right here at home, as is Joyce Meyer Ministries.
  • Also Joyce Meyer Ministries partners with many local ministries when doing these great works abroad.  They truly have a unity spirit when it comes to the Body of Christ.  These joint efforts are working to create the unified - worldwide Church that EFG believes God desires.
They do all of this and more in the name of Jesus Christ.  Joyce Meyer Ministries is undoubtedly doing great exploits for God.  We have been given so much, we must give back.  These outreach programs stir our faith and exhort us to do more.  We hope they do the same for you.  Check out the awesome and jam packed websites for Joyce Meyer Ministries and Hand of Hope to learn more or get involved.

    Thank you R.L.Scovens, you're absolutely right. As I read your comment I saw that truth more clearly than ever. As partners with Joyce Meyer Ministries, "WE."

The Love Revolution

Image
Recently I read a new book by Joyce Meyer, the Love Revolution.  I must say that it is fantastic.  It discusses the Christian duty to love and gives inspiration and education on the subject.  Joyce wisely teaches us more about love and how to love.  But really, Joyce doesn't just want us to read a book, she wants a revolution, one that I can proudly say I've joined. I don't think we can overstate the importance of love to Christians.  Jesus said that by our love for each other people would recognize us as Christians.  Jesus said that the two most important commandments are for us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and for us to love our neighbor as ourselves.  Then Jesus gave us a new commandment, enhancing the second one above, that we should love people as Christ loved us.  Christ sacrificed Himself so that we could be saved and have better lives, only because He loved us.  Therefore we must also learn to sacrificially love others.  Furthermore, the

Looking At What Can't Be Seen

Everyone understands that a huge portion of physical reality can’t be seen with the human eye.  Perhaps most importantly, we can’t see the air we breathe.  Isn’t that amazing, we can’t even see something that our bodies depend on constantly.  This natural realm, all that consists of what we might perceive with our physical senses, contains many other important substances we can’t see.  But there is another entire realm that we can’t see or perceive with our natural senses, the spiritual realm.  I know even the phrase “the spiritual realm” sounds weird and you’re thinking about skipping this teaching, but the importance of spiritual reality cannot be overstated.  The spiritual realm is actually the higher realm, the more important realm, with authority and power over the natural realm.  Even a basic understanding of the spiritual realm will dramatically improve your life and faith journey. I’ve heard people discuss the spiritual realm before, but I’ve never seen a teaching from any

Integrating Your Christianity and Secular Personal Growth

A few years ago I drove down to South Florida to visit some clients for a few days.  My wife (Shannon) suggested that I check out this marriage podcast called Rise Together by Rachel and Dave Hollis.  I realize Rachel Hollis is now a controversial figure, but this was before all that happened, and that podcast had a profound impact on me.  Between the drives to Key Largo and back, I listened to all of the episodes (there were only around 10 back then) and I received my personal introduction to the idea of personal growth.  (And before we move on yes I do realize that was a marriage podcast from a couple who are now divorced.)  So I started listening to various podcasts on personal growth and related issues.   Then about a year ago I was driving with some friends in Texas when we decided to listen to an episode of the All-In Podcast.   That podcast features four billionaires and friends discussing financial markets, political issues, and various other subjects.   I found it fascinatin
