About Hands of Mercy Missions

Hands of Mercy was born out of a problem — a real problem.
We wanted to preach the gospel with power and love, with signs and wonders, with actual heart transformation, with radical fruit. We wanted to see families touched, people saved, destinies changed, and eternal life breaking into real human lives.

And of course that’s what every Christian wants, right? There’s nothing like showing up in an unreached or barely-reached area and seeing hungry people finally meet a God they never knew existed — a loving God who hears prayer, heals the sick, and casts out demons.

There’s nothing better than watching someone who’s been under witchcraft, unbelief, or pure ignorance suddenly get set free by the power and love of Jesus Christ. It’s transformational. It’s touching. It’s rewarding. In a very real way, we live for that.

The Challenge We Faced

But here’s the problem: when you come into these areas, people are literally starving.
In Kangaza, where our Tanzanian Children’s Center sits, around twelve people a year die from starvation. We’re looking to end that.

So imagine holding the greatest news in the world — the Gospel — and trying to preach it while looking into the eyes of people who haven’t eaten in days. It’s almost impossible.

And that wasn’t the only problem.

A Hunger for God… but No Bibles

Imagine buying rice, feeding people, seeing people touched and saved — genuinely converted — but… there are no Bibles.

It can take weeks of meetings, teaching, worship, prayer, and discipleship to ground new believers. You might see a great harvest — forty-five new solid believers, new families joining the church, teenagers being born again… but then you hit another wall: these people have no Bible to read.

Only the pastor has a Bible, and maybe one or two elders if they are blessed. That’s it.

Imagine getting saved and not being able to open Psalm 23.
Imagine not being able to read Romans 8 and discover you’re free from condemnation.
Imagine not even being able to read the promises that tell you the Spirit of God lives in you and calls you a son or daughter of the King.

How do you grow like that?
How do you even survive spiritually?

This is why Hands of Mercy was born — to solve these problems.

The Orphan Reality

And that still isn’t everything. We haven’t even talked about the orphan situation.

Every pastor worth his salt is taking in orphaned kids due to the fact that there are so many. Five extra kids living with them is normal. That’s the man trying to shepherd his community — and he’s carrying the weight of a small household of orphans on top of it.

We want to partner with him.
Strengthen him.
Help him do what needs to be done.

That’s the heart behind Hands of Mercy.

What We Do Today

Right now we directly care for the Tanzania Children’s Center, but we also assist four other centers.
We do everything we can to help make sure the kids are fed, clothed, and that their school fees — which can be crushing for families — are paid.

The cultural challenges are huge, but our long-term vision is simple:
every children’s center we touch becomes financially stable and independent.

That’s why we invest in agriculture projects and practical income-generating work — projects that fit their skills, their culture, and their faith.

Crusades are always the main goal — preaching Jesus with power — but if you want to hit that main goal, you can’t ignore the things on the side that actually matter. And we believe the love of Jesus demands that we don’t treat Bibles and orphans like side issues. They’re precious to Him.

Our Long-Term Vision

A lot of you know me already, and there’s much more to this story, but that’s the core of it. If you want to know more, reach out. We can get back to you personally, or I can make a video explaining anything in more depth. Just let us know.

Our long-term vision isn’t just to see Africa saved.
We want East Africa — especially the regions where we work — to become spiritually strong, a reservoir of intercession, a people so rooted in God that they influence their governments, their communities, their evangelism, everything.

We’re inspired by the pilgrims, the Moravians, the Puritans — the ones who fasted and prayed and helped shape nations. We want that level of freedom and power to ring across these regions.

And we know that requires wisdom, intercession, devotion, and consecration. So those are the things we preach and practice in Christ.
