"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.

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.

"Get a free Bible in any language! Access the Word of God in your native tongue and grow in faith. Request your free copy today and explore Scripture in the language you understand best." The Story of the Living Word Across the World In a small village nestled in the mountains of Ethiopia, an elderly woman named Asha sat on her wooden stool, holding a well-worn copy of the Bible in her hands. The text was written in Amharic, her native language, a gift from missionaries who had visited her village decades ago. Asha’s Bible was her most treasured possession, but she often wondered how many other people across the world could read the Word of God in their own tongue. Little did she know, her question would lead her on an extraordinary journey of discovery. One night, as Asha prayed by candlelight, she felt a strange warmth in her heart. Closing her eyes, she asked, “Lord, how far has Your Word traveled? How many voices speak Your truth?” When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a vast library. Shelves stretched endlessly in every direction, filled with books of every size, color, and language. A man with kind eyes and a radiant glow approached her. “Welcome, Asha,” he said. “This is the Library of the Living Word. Here, you’ll find every translation of the Bible, written in every language of the world.” Asha gasped. “Every language? Every translation?” The man nodded. “Yes, my child. Let me show you the journey of God’s Word, from its original languages to the farthest corners of the earth.” The Original Word The man led Asha to a golden shelf at the center of the library. “This is where it all began,” he said, pointing to three ancient scrolls. “The Bible was first written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The Old Testament was primarily written in Hebrew, with some passages in Aramaic, like parts of Daniel and Ezra. The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, the common language of the Roman Empire.” Asha touched the scrolls reverently. “So these are the first words of God’s story?” “Yes,” the man said. “But God’s Word was never meant to stay in one place or one language. It was meant to reach every nation.” The Early Translations The man led Asha to another shelf, where she saw ancient manuscripts in languages she didn’t recognize. “These are the earliest translations,” he explained. “The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, was made around 300 BC for Jews living in Alexandria who no longer spoke Hebrew. Then came the Peshitta, a Syriac translation, and the Latin Vulgate, translated by St. Jerome in the 4th century. The Vulgate became the standard Bible for the Western Church for over a thousand years.” Asha marveled at the faded pages. “These translations must have taken so much work.” “They did,” the man agreed. “But the translators believed that everyone deserved to hear God’s Word in their own language.” The Reformation and the Explosion of Translations The man walked further down the aisle, where the books became more numerous. “During the Reformation, the Bible began to be translated into the languages of the common people. Martin Luther translated the Bible into German in 1522, and William Tyndale translated it into English. These translations brought the Word of God to millions who had never been able to read it before.” Asha picked up a Bible with ornate lettering. “What is this one?” “That’s the King James Version, completed in 1611,” the man said. “It became one of the most influential English translations in history. But it’s just one of many. Today, there are hundreds of English translations, each with its own approach to the text.” The Modern Translations The man waved his hand, and a wall of books appeared, each labeled with a different English translation. “Here you’ll find the New International Version (NIV), the New Living Translation (NLT), the English Standard Version (ESV), the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), the Christian Standard Bible (CSB), and many more. Each one seeks to make the Bible accessible to modern readers.” Asha’s head spun as she read the titles: The Message, the Amplified Bible, the Good News Translation, the New King James Version, and more. “Why so many versions in one language?” “Each translation serves a different purpose,” the man explained. “Some aim for word-for-word accuracy, while others focus on conveying the meaning in a way that’s easy to understand. Together, they help people connect with God’s Word in different ways.” The Global Reach The man led Asha to another section of the library, where the shelves were filled with Bibles in countless languages. “Here is where the true beauty of God’s Word is revealed,” he said. “The Bible has been translated into over 3,600 languages, with portions available in thousands more.” Asha picked up a Bible written in Swahili, then another in Mandarin Chinese. “How did this happen?” “Through the dedication of translators, missionaries, and organizations like Wycliffe Bible Translators, the United Bible Societies, and many others,” the man said. “They have spent decades working to bring the Bible to every language group on earth.” He pointed to a shelf labeled with African languages: Zulu, Xhosa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. “Here are translations for the people of Africa.” He moved to another shelf labeled with Asian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Tagalog, Japanese, and Korean. “And here are translations for Asia.” They continued walking, passing Bibles in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German for Europe and the Americas, as well as indigenous languages like Quechua, Navajo, and Cherokee. Asha’s eyes filled with tears. “So many people can read God’s Word in their own language.” The Work Continues The man stopped at a small, empty shelf. “But the work is not yet finished,” he said. “There are still over 1,800 languages without any portion of Scripture. Millions of people are still waiting to hear God’s Word in their heart language.” Asha felt a pang of sadness. “What can be done?” “God is raising up people to complete the work,” the man said. “Translators, linguists, and missionaries are working tirelessly to bring the Bible to every tribe and tongue. And you, Asha, can pray for them and support their work.” The Power of the Word As they returned to the center of the library, the man said, “The Bible is more than just a book. It is the living Word of God, speaking to people in every language and culture. It has the power to transform lives, bring hope, and unite people across the world.” Asha nodded, her heart full of awe and gratitude. “Thank you for showing me this.” When she opened her eyes, she was back in her small village, her Amharic Bible in her hands. But now, she saw it with new eyes. It was not just her Bible—it was part of a great tapestry of God’s Word, woven through every language and every nation. From that day on, Asha prayed daily for the work of Bible translation, knowing that one day, every person on earth would hear the Good News in their own tongue. Epilogue: Every Tribe and Tongue The story of Bible translation is still being written. From the King James Version to the NIV, from Swahili to Siberian Yupik, the Word of God continues to spread. One day, as Revelation 7:9 promises, people from every nation, tribe, and language will stand before the throne of God, united in worship. Until then, the work goes on, bringing the living Word to every corner of the earth.

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

"Discover our Statement of Faith, outlining our core beliefs, values, and commitment to living out the teachings of Jesus Christ as the foundation of our faith and mission." Jehovah Saints Statement of Faith for Jehovah Saints Effective Date: 12/22/2024 At Jehovah Saints, we are a Christ-centered, Bible-based organization committed to sharing the Gospel, serving others, and living out the teachings of Jesus Christ. Our Statement of Faith outlines the core beliefs that guide our ministry, outreach, and community engagement. As followers of Christ, we affirm the following truths: 1. The Bible We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate source of truth and guidance for faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 119:105) 2. The SEP Trinity Jehovah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The term "SEP" signifies "separated," yet all three—Jehovah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit—work together as One. This unity mirrors the sacred bond of marriage, as described in Genesis 2:24: "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." Though two individuals do not become one person, they work together as one—just as the SEP Trinity does. 3. God the Father We believe in God the Father, the Creator of heaven and earth, who is sovereign, holy, and loving. He desires a personal relationship with all His children and is the source of all life and goodness. (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 64:8, John 3:16) 4. Jesus Christ We believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and taught with divine authority. He died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. He ascended to heaven, where He intercedes for us, and He will return in glory to establish His kingdom. (John 1:1-14, Philippians 2:5-11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). 5. The Holy Spirit We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the presence of God in the world today. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerates the believer, and empowers us to live holy and faithful lives. The Spirit provides spiritual gifts for the building up of the church. (John 14:26, Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:22-23) 6. Salvation Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you will perish.” Luke 13:5 We believe that salvation is a gift of God, a gift you accept after you repent. It is not earned by good works but is given freely to those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Through His death and resurrection, we are reconciled to God, forgiven of our sins, and granted eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, John 3:16) 7. The Church We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, composed of all believers who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. The Church exists to glorify God, share the Gospel, disciple believers, and serve others in love. We are called to unity, fellowship, and mutual encouragement as we live out our faith together. (Matthew 28:19-20, Ephesians 4:4-6, Hebrews 10:24-25) God Does Not Dwell in Temples Made by Hands 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" You Are the Temple of God Acts 17:24-25 "God...dwelleth not in temples made with hands" 8. Baptism and Communion Understanding Water Baptism 1. Purpose of Water Baptism Water baptism serves as a public declaration of faith and obedience to Christ. It symbolizes the believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. 2. Building Faith While water baptism is an important step in the believer's journey, it is primarily a reflection of the faith that already exists in the heart. It helps to strengthen and affirm one's faith within the community of believers. 3. Not a Requirement for Salvation The Bible clearly teaches that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through the act of baptism itself. Relevant Scriptures John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Acts 16:31: "They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.'" Romans 10:9: "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Water baptism is a significant act of obedience that follows an individual's faith in Christ, but it is not a prerequisite for salvation. The essence of eternal life lies in believing in Jesus and accepting Him as Lord and Savior. 9. The Sanctity of Life We believe that all human life is sacred and created in the image of God, from conception to natural death. We are called to protect and honor the dignity of every person. (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:13-16) 10. Marriage and Family We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant instituted by God, uniting one man and woman, or women in a lifelong commitment. The family is the foundation of society, and we are called to nurture and strengthen it according to biblical principles. (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22-33, Matthew 19:4-6) 11. The Great Commission We believe in the Great Commission, which calls all believers to share the Gospel and make disciples of all nations. We are committed to proclaiming the message of salvation and serving as Christ’s ambassadors in a broken world. (Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Corinthians 5:20) 12. The Return of Christ We believe in the visible, personal, and glorious return of Jesus Christ. He will establish His eternal kingdom, judge the living and the dead, and bring ultimate justice and restoration to the world. (Acts 1:11, Revelation 22:12-13, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) 13. Eternal Destiny We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who place their faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God in hell. (John 5:28-29, Revelation 20:11-15, Matthew 25:46) 14. Spiritual Growth and Holiness We believe that believers are called to grow in their faith through prayer, worship, studying God’s Word, and living in obedience to His commands. The Holy Spirit works within us to transform our hearts and minds, enabling us to live holy and Christlike lives. (Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20, 1 Peter 1:15-16) Commitment to Our Faith Jehovah Saints is dedicated to living out these beliefs in every aspect of our ministry and community outreach. We invite all who share our faith to join us in worship, fellowship, and service as we work together to glorify God and advance His kingdom. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
