Hearts and Hands for Jesus International

Our goals are to support the Johnsons financially so that they can continue to be effective in their Mission Work and Ministry by:

1. Providing Education Funds for school aged students and adults who want to better themselves in the job market.

2. Providing a newer van for the Johnsons, so that deliveries of school supplies, food, and transportation to and from school, church and other
places, can continue uninterrupted.

3. Provide funds for a Food Bank in the Limon area so that those in need of food have a place to go and obtain food for their families.

4. Support the Johnsons' personal expenses and needs so that they are able to remain in full time Mission Work and Ministry.

We are attempting to widen our support base by use of our Facebook page, Hearts and Hands for Jesus, as well as our website at www.hh4j.org, and the Guidestar website. Our goal is to make the needs of the Johnsons known through publicity, fundraisers, and talks to various church and civic groups, and hopefully receive donations to raise the necessary funds to accomplish our goals.

We have a solid group of volunteer supporters and workers so that we do not have to have much if any administrative expense for our nin-profit. That way a very high percent of donations received (right now we are very near 100%), will go directly toward meeting our stated goals, after which time (hopefully very quickly) we will be able to set and attain higher, more ambitious goals for Hearts and Hands for Jesus.

Even in the pandemic year of 2020, we were successful in helping hundreds of people in the Limon, Costa Rica area with food and living supplies through generous donations to our Food Bank. The Johnsons were able to expand the amount of food we can grow ourselves, as well as purchase supplies we cannot supply ourselves. Through increased donations, we hope to be able to hire some people to work at the Food Bank, hence helping their families with employment as well.

We have helped over 100 students (children and adults) obtain access to educational opportunities they otherwise would not have had. Many have been the first to graduate High School in their families.

We purchased a newer 2012 Hyundai Van for our Missionaries in Early 2019, with 22,000.00 of the funds we raised, previously they had been driving a 2004 Van which was constantly in disrepair.

What's next?
We continue to publicize our cause with Social Media, email, and other tools, where we hope to receive donations which will help us to further expand the mission work of the Johnsons, along the lines of the goals we stated above. We are still a new, growing and learning entity, but one full of wonderful volunteers full of enthusiasm and ideas, so the SKY IS THE LIMIT!
