More information
Dr. Randy Steger, marketing professor at David Lipscomb University, presented a proposal to serve as a pilot program that would utilize the energy and abilities of students to solicit donations of supplies. Through this urgent need for humanitarian relief the students organized the Healing Hands ministry, which was later incorporated as Healing Hands International in 1994. Since acquiring a 501 (C) (3) status in 1994, HHI has shipped to over 70 different countries in need. HHI seeks to accomplish it's mission through helping congregations of the churches of Christ collect, ship and distribute medications, medical supplies, equipment, agricultural aid, school supplies, and other items that reduce human suffering. Missionaries and church leaders will continue to be the source of distribution in host countries. Medicines and medical supplies will be distributed to competent medical and relief workers in close relationship with these missionaries. Aid will be provided to all people, regardless of race, religious preference, creed, or ethnic background.
