Branches of HHMI
*BENEVOLENCE FUND PROGRAM - is a new branch of Helping Hands Ministry, Inc. We offer support in some small way to individuals 60+ in need, especially during times of crisis. This is considered a small contribution in the times that we are living in when resources are very scarce.
​
CARE MINISTRY - We have hosted free Honoree Dinners, catered, at no charge to the families from 2006-2014, enabling family and friends to honor their loved ones. Each honoree received a free DVD of the event, but many who were honored have since passed away.
From these special dinners, seniors began to follow the ministry, requesting phone calls, visits, and some are Volunteers from home. Our Care Ministry was birthed from this group of seniors. We continue to make weekly phone calls, send cards, make home visits, and send voice-recorded messages as needed.
​​
​
FRIENDLY CALLERS - We receive referrals from families and friends to contact their loved ones. Such calls are much needed for many of the clients who have little or no family. We can call clients as often as possible, at least twice (2) a month. Due to the many viruses that are present, we are no longer visiting homes for the safety of our Volunteers and Clients.
​
​
PASTORAL CARE - Our ordained clergy have committed themselves to serving our seniors with in-home Bible study, communion, home/hospital visits, overnight end-of-life support per family requests, and more.
​
We acknowledge the sacredness, dignity, and worth of all persons. We further acknowledge the vast brokenness in the physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of human life and the individual's quest for wholeness. Provide an Invitation to receive Salvation.
Our 24-hour prayer line is available; call 1-480-553-0487. All requests remain confidential.
​
​
SOCIAL SERVICES - We provide Eldercare Information and Referrals for Frail Elderly and Seniors 60+. We Support Caregivers with in-services, information, and agencies that will answer their questions and assist with caring for their loved one.
​​
​
WEEKLY SCRIPTURE - In June 2014, Elder Melton began a weekly Broadcast, sending voice recordings every Monday morning, which reaches over 75 recipients and is growing. This recording is known by many as "The Scripture of the Week". Everyone needs inspirational encouragement. Why not start your week with an inspirational weekly encouragement? This service is free of charge.
​

Global Missions
Missions are very important to us!
Although we are commissioned to provide Social Services and Pastoral Care at the community level, which is Domestic Missions, we have a heart for world evangelism. Therefore, we have partnered with one of our Board Members, Missionary/Evangelist Lorraine Williams, who is on the mission field full-time in Phoenix, Arizona, and over the years, we have seen the actual fruit of her labor. Her bio can be reviewed on the "Our Team" page. Help us to continue this great work and become a Sponsor to support her. All donations are tax-deductible and will go directly to our Missionary/Evangelist.
