Loving Hands Ministries

Meet Hayden, a resident at our Palmetto Campus.

"Hello, my name is Hayden. I’m 31 years old, from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I’ve been in the ministry since December of 2024.

My story has been filled with hurt and pain. At the age of 14, I became an addict. Shortly after, I got wrapped up with street gangs. At 16, I lost my best friend; my brother. This put a hole in my heart. I was filled with rage and heartbreak. I lashed out on everyone around me for three years. I was a menace until I was sent to prison at 19.

Once I got out, I fell right back on my face, using drugs even more than before. I was constantly trying to fill this empty void. I did become a father of two beautiful children, a daughter and a son, but due to my addiction and my selfishness, I lost custody of them.

I finally decided to get help. I left Oklahoma and came to Florida, but I started putting guns on the streets for co***ne. I was looking at going back to prison. Instead, God intervened, and I was able to come to Loving Hands, where He has transformed me completely.

He healed me physically, mentally, and most of all spiritually. Jesus has shown me grace and taught me godly character. He told me that the old Hayden does not define who I am. He has proven His Word to be truth. He is Rapha, our great physician. He is Jireh, our provider. He has set me free. Now it’s up to me to share about His goodness."

🌏 India Trip Update 🇮🇳

Back in December, we shared that we were praying and trusting God for an opportunity to travel to India in 2026, waiting on His timing and the right doors to open.

Today, we’re excited to share that those prayers are being answered. 🙌
Ms. Kim and Marshall Walker will soon be traveling to India to minister, serve, encourage, and share the hope of Jesus with communities hungry for His love. We are stepping forward in faith, believing for divine appointments, open doors, and lasting impact.

As we say yes to the call, this verse continues to resonate deeply with our hearts:

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”
— Isaiah 6:8

We invite YOU to be part of this mission. Please join us in praying for our team; for wisdom, protection, safe travels, and lives to be forever changed. We also ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with us financially as we prepare for the travel and ministry expenses connected to this trip. Your support directly helps us go, serve, and represent the heart of Christ in India.

✨ Together, we are reaching beyond borders for His Kingdom.
✨ Together, we are believing for multiplication.

If you’d like to support this mission or learn more about how to partner with us, please comment below or send us a message. We would be honored to have you walk this journey with us.

Thank you for believing in the calling God has placed on this ministry. ❤️

We are so grateful. 💙

Our Year-End Giving Campaign has officially come to a close, and because of your generosity, we raised $55,000.

That is $55,000 worth of hope, restoration, and life-changing work made possible, not only for our residents, but for their families, friends, and loved ones whose lives are impacted through this mission. The ripple effect is real.

“Give, and it will be given to you.” Luke 6:38

Thank you to everyone who gave, prayed, shared, and stood with us. We step into this new year encouraged, humbled, and ready to continue the work God has called us to. 🙏

As we step into a new year, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. ✨

To every supporter who gave financially, prayed faithfully, showed up to teach, served behind the scenes, or volunteered on one of our three campuses, thank you. Your generosity goes far beyond dollars. It shows up in presence, sacrifice, and obedience to the call God has placed on your life.

Because of your prayers, your hands, and your hearts, we are able to continue this life changing work for all of our residents. And the impact does not stop there. It is multiplied through the families, friends, and loved ones of every resident and every graduate whose life has been touched by this program. What God is doing here is reaching far beyond our campuses and into homes, relationships, and entire communities.

You are a vital part of every breakthrough, every lesson taught, every prayer lifted, and every life being restored. As we look ahead, we do so with confidence, knowing God is faithful and that He has surrounded this mission with an incredible community of supporters like you.

Thank you for standing with us. We cannot wait to see what the Lord will do in this new year together. ✨

Today we thank God for you and the incredible way you live out your faith every single day. Miss Kim, your love for the Lord, your compassion for people, and your quiet strength make a lasting impact on this ministry and everyone who has the privilege of serving alongside you.

You lead with humility and grace, faithfully carrying forward the vision God placed in the hearts of your parents, Pastor Wendell and Nancy Wilson. Your life is a beautiful reflection of Christ, not just in your leadership, but in how you love, encourage, and care for others.

May this new year bring deep joy, renewed peace, and continued clarity as God directs your steps. We are so grateful for you and honored to walk this journey with you.

Help us celebrate Miss Kim today! 💛🎂🙏

As this year comes to a close, we’re taking one last moment to invite you into what God is doing through this ministry.

Today is the last day to give! We’re just $10,000 away from reaching our $60,000 goal! If 100 people give $100 today, we’ll reach our $60,000 year-end goal and continue this life-changing work into the new year.

As we approach the end of the year, we’re trusting God to continue restoring hope through willing hearts.

Because of your generosity, $45,750 has already been raised! Lives are being changed, families are finding stability, and hope is being restored every single day. 💛 But we aren't done yet!

Now, with the year coming to a close, we’re believing God to help us finish strong and reach our $60,000 year-end goal before 2026.

There’s still time to make an impact. If you’re able, would you prayerfully consider giving today and being part of what God is doing through this ministry?

👉 Give now and help restore hope before the year ends. https://app.aplos.com/aws/give/LovingHandsMinistriesInc/EndofYearGiving2025
