"Change a life today—your kindness can give someone without a home warmth, hope, and a fresh start." "Give Hope" Message from Founder: Michael Hopkins VIDEO LOADING... "True Treasure Lies in Helping the Homeless, Poor, and Needy." As Matthew 6:19-21 reminds us: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven ...where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Zoom Meeting Jehovah Saints: Building Homeless Shelters Worldwide Our Mission: Providing Shelter and Hope Jehovah Saints is committed to addressing the global homelessness crisis by building shelters for those in need. With over 150 million homeless people worldwide, our mission is not just about providing shelter but restoring dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging to the most vulnerable in society. Scripture Inspiration: “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?” — Isaiah 58:7 Progress in Kenya: A Testament to God’s Work One of our ongoing projects is homeless shelters in Kenya, where Victor Odhiambo, the President of Jehovah Saints in Kenya, is leading the effort with over 25 dedicated volunteers. The photos show the progress of this shelter, a symbol of hope for countless individuals in need. Victor and his team are tirelessly working to make this vision a reality, but we need your help. Your donations will go directly to support this project and others like it around the world. Scripture Inspiration: “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” — Proverbs 19:17 Our Global Reach While our international headquarters is based in Dexter, Missouri, USA, Jehovah Saints has expanded its efforts to multiple countries, including: South Sudan Uganda Kenya Tanzania Pakistan Liberia Ghana Sierra Leone India Malawi In each of these locations, we are building shelters, providing resources, and empowering local communities to care for the homeless. Scripture Inspiration: “The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.” — Proverbs 29:7 A Small Group with Big Hearts Jehovah Saints is a small group of volunteers with a big mission. We dedicate our time, energy, and resources to help those less fortunate. While the task is enormous, our faith in God and the generosity of donors like you make it possible. We believe in the words of Matthew 25:40: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” How You Can Help Your donations are crucial to the success of our mission. Every dollar you give goes directly to where it is needed the most, funding the construction of shelters, providing food and supplies, and supporting volunteers on the ground. Make a One-Time Donation: Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Become a Monthly Donor: Your consistent support allows us to plan and expand our efforts sustainably. Pray for Us: Your prayers are just as valuable as your financial support. Scripture Inspiration: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” — Luke 6:38 Why This Matters Homelessness is not just about a lack of shelter; it’s about a lack of hope. By building shelters, we are not only providing a roof over someone’s head but also creating a space where they can feel safe, valued, and loved. Scripture Inspiration: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” — Psalm 82:3 Thank You for Your Support We deeply appreciate your generosity and support. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the homeless and fulfill the command of Christ to care for the least among us. Scripture Inspiration: “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” — Hebrews 13:16 Reading Script Above 00:00 / 04:02 "Give Hope" Stay informed with the latest news!

Luke 21:1-4 The Widow's Offering "Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins". And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” This passage highlights the importance of generosity and sacrificial giving in the eyes of Jesus. The widow's offering of two small coins, despite being meager in financial value, was considered greater by Jesus because it represented her giving 100% of what she had. In contrast, the rich individuals not necessarily sacrificing much percentage% wise, in the comparison to the widows 100% offering.

Founder & Visionary Michael Hopkins "Where there is no vision, the people perish" Proverbs 29:18 Warm Greetings, My name is Michael Hopkins, and I am the founder of Jehovah Saints Ministry and Homeless Shelter Programs. Our ministry is deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures and the life-affirming teachings of Jesus Christ. My spiritual journey began in a Missouri Pentecostal Church and continued through Emmanuel Baptist Christian School, where I cultivated a profound understanding of God’s Word and strengthened my walk with Him. As a shepherd of God’s people, I follow His divine calling rather than worldly recognition. The vastness of our world and the needs of His people compel me to mentor and equip future ministers to carry forth God’s Word. As Ecclesiastes 4:9 reminds us, "Two are better than one, for they have a good reward for their toil." I recognize that my efforts alone are not enough. That’s why we are seeking passionate individuals to join us in this noble mission. United by faith, we stand ready to achieve remarkable things and bring joy and hope to those we serve. I invite you to join us in this divine mission, working together for the glory of God and the betterment of humanity. As 2 Timothy 2:3 encourages us, "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." Let us endure together, standing firm in faith and love, as we carry out His work.

    "Discover the mission and vision of Jehovah Saints: dedicated to providing hope, healing, and support to those in need through faith-driven action, compassion, and community outreach." Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints: Mission and Vision Statement At Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints, we believe that every individual has inherent worth and dignity. Guided by our Christian values, we strive to be a force for good in the world, living out the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. Our foundation is built on the principles of support, empowerment, and progress, as we seek to inspire hope and create positive change in the lives of individuals and communities. Our Philosophy In today's complex world, we recognize the need for bold problem-solvers with diverse perspectives who are willing to take risks to foster meaningful change. Our mission is to inspire and support communities not only in the USA but across the globe. We believe that actions speak louder than words, and we are committed to putting our faith into action. As Scripture reminds us: "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." (Galatians 5:13) "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (James 2:14-17) We are dedicated to promoting justice, equality, and compassion, following the call in Micah 6:8 to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Our Ministries and Focus Areas Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints Our online ministry serves as a virtual space for spiritual growth, education, and community-building. Through this platform, we share the Gospel, provide biblical guidance, and connect believers worldwide. Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters Focused on addressing homelessness, these shelters provide safety, support, and resources to individuals in need, inspired by the teachings of Matthew 25:35-40: "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." Jehovah Saints Global Outreach Through our global efforts, we extend help and hope to communities worldwide, providing aid, resources, and spiritual support to those in need. Our Goals Establish Homeless Shelters Worldwide We are committed to creating shelters across the globe, offering not only a place to stay but also resources to empower individuals to rebuild their lives. Inspired by Matthew 25:35-40, we work tirelessly to care for "the least of these." Restore Bible Classes in Schools and Prevent School Shootings We advocate for the reintroduction of Bible classes in schools, believing that a foundation of faith, morality, and purpose can help guide young minds and prevent tragedies like school shootings. Rooted in Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." End Abortion We defend the sanctity of life and work to end abortion through education, advocacy, and support for expectant mothers. Guided by Psalm 139:13-16, we affirm the value of all life: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb." Prison Ministry We have plans to reach out to incarcerated individuals, offering spiritual guidance, support, and rehabilitation programs to help them find redemption and purpose.

Jehovah Saints Global Outreach is a 508(c)(1)(a) non-profit organization. What is a 508 c1a non-profit? 508 c1a non-profit is a special type of faith-based nonprofit recognized under the Internal Revenue Code. But what exactly is a 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit organization? A 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit is a religious, tax-exempt organization that operates as a church, ministry, or faith-based entity. Unlike traditional 501(c)(3) nonprofits, 508(c)(1)(a) organizations are automatically tax-exempt and do not need to apply for formal recognition from the IRS to receive this status. This classification is specifically designed for churches, their auxiliaries, and associations of churches, allowing them to focus on their religious mission without excessive government oversight. Key Features of a 508(c)(1)(a) Nonprofit Organization: Automatic Tax-Exempt Status These organizations are automatically considered tax-exempt under IRS rules and are not required to file for 501(c)(3) status. Faith-Based Mission They are established primarily for religious purposes, such as ministry, worship, and outreach. Freedom of Speech 508(c)(1)(a) organizations have more flexibility in engaging in political or social advocacy, as long as it aligns with their religious mission. Tax-Deductible Donations Contributions made to these organizations are tax-deductible for donors, just like with 501(c)(3) organizations. Why Choose a 508(c)(1)(a) Nonprofit? This structure is ideal for faith-based organizations like Jehovah Saints Global Outreach because it allows the organization to: Focus on its religious mission without needing formal IRS approval. Engage in advocacy or political speech without the restrictions imposed on 501(c)(3) organizations. In summary, a 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit organization is a powerful option for ministries and religious organizations seeking to serve their communities while maintaining their independence and fulfilling their faith-based mission. Jehovah Saints Global Outreach embraces this unique structure to maximize its impact and focus on its global outreach efforts. Note: All donations are tax deductible

  • Sermon Archives | Jehovah Saints | Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins

    "Access our sermon archives for powerful messages of faith and inspiration. Explore past sermons on a variety of topics to strengthen your spiritual journey and grow closer to God." The Legacy of the Sermon Archives In the heart of the bustling city of Greenfield, nestled between towering skyscrapers and busy streets, stood an old, brick church known as Grace Cathedral. With its stained glass windows and towering spire, it was a landmark of faith and history, having served the community for over a century. The church was renowned not just for its beautiful architecture, but for the wisdom and inspiration imparted through the sermons delivered within its walls. For years, the sermons of Grace Cathedral had been a source of comfort and enlightenment to its congregation. But as time passed, the church faced a challenge familiar to many: the congregation was aging, and fewer young people were attending services. Recognizing the need to preserve the rich history of the church and reach a broader audience, Reverend Martin, the wise and compassionate pastor of Grace Cathedral, conceived the idea of creating a digital archive of the church's sermons. The project began modestly. Reverend Martin, along with a small team of dedicated volunteers, started by recording the weekly sermons. They set up a simple camera at the back of the church, capturing the heartfelt messages delivered from the pulpit. These recordings were then uploaded to a newly created website, where they could be accessed by anyone, anywhere. As the archive began to grow, it quickly became apparent that it was more than just a collection of sermons; it was a treasure trove of wisdom, history, and community spirit. Each sermon told a story—not just of scripture and theology, but of the people and events that shaped the community. Reverend Martin often wove in tales of local heroes, historical events, and personal anecdotes that resonated deeply with listeners. One day, as he was reviewing the archive, Reverend Martin received an email from a young woman named Lily. She had stumbled upon the sermon archive while searching for spiritual guidance online. Lily wrote, "Dear Reverend Martin, I can't express how much these sermons have meant to me. I've been struggling with my faith and feeling lost in the chaos of life. Listening to your words has brought me peace and clarity." Encouraged by Lily's message, Reverend Martin decided to expand the archive further. He reached out to former pastors and church members, gathering old recordings and written transcripts of sermons dating back decades. These historical sermons provided a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the evolving challenges and triumphs faced by the community over the years. As the archive grew, so did its impact. People from all over the world began to discover the sermons of Grace Cathedral. Some were drawn by the timeless wisdom and eloquence of the messages, while others were captivated by the rich history and sense of continuity they represented. The archive became a bridge connecting generations, offering insights into how faith had been lived and practiced through changing times. Lily, inspired by the sermons, decided to visit Grace Cathedral. She felt a deep connection to the community and wanted to experience the church in person. Her visit was transformative. She met Reverend Martin and shared her story, expressing her grati
