Healing Hands Ministries
Supporting God's hands and feet to the nations.
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We find those in poverty with limited opportunity to rise above it around the world. From a native jungle village in Peru to a rural village in Cambodia, and even on the streets in America we find these people striving for a better life. Yet they have little to no means to overcome it with what they currently have.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Peru
Providing help, aid, and support to local indigenous communities in central Peru in association with a long term missionary base in the community. We provide medical aid.
We are also working to develop assistance to enhance economic opportunities to the people through entrepreneurial opportunities.
Cambodia Community Kitchens
Building a community kitchen to provide safer cooking facilities. This also builds community and allows them to pool their resources and save money.
Reboot Marysville
Reboot is an international course to aid military and first responders to heal from the stress of combat and critical incidents. It creates a community of peers who understand what they face, and gives them tools to heal from the trauma and better cope with future stress. It is free to participants due to generous community support from people who care about those who sacrifice to serve us.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We aim to come alongside people that we find in poverty, and establish a relationship with them. Sometimes it is through partner missionaries and organizations, and sometimes we are able to do it directly. We seek to find personalized solutions that can help them to get a hand up and out of poverty. We seek to help them grow and create a brighter future through reducing poverty, malnutrition, and improving health.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We partner to provide healthcare and education for those with extremely limited access, and work to enhance the infrastructure to provide that care. We are seeking opportunities to provide scholarships to encourage those who would not otherwise be able to pursue healthcare careers in underserved areas, primarily in developing countries.
By purchasing products we support small businesses, and then we are able to sell those items at a profit to also help those who have not been able to start a business yet.
We support churches that seek to help support their communities, and provide resources to help them expand that support to new areas and more people than they would otherwise be able to serve.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have dedicated personnel, and work with partner organizations, to ensure that we can deliver maximum value on available assets. We have a detailed strategic plan in place to allow for us to meet our goals each year. Being relatively small, we are able to respond and move with changes in the areas that we serve.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
So far we have been able to support several small businesses in Cambodia.
We are helping First Responders recover from the stress and strain of traumatic incidents through a Reboot First Responders Course. Four first responders have completed and graduated from the Reboot First Responders Course.
A medical and work missions team will go to Peru this July to again serve a native village to improve health and living conditions in a poor farming community.
