The HEART Ministry was created in 2012 as Hosanna Church's response to natural disasters. It has expanded to include community disaster assistance, individual and family emergencies and a specialized prayer ministry.

We're looking for all skill levels (i.e., painting, carpentry, landscaping, etc.) as well as a loving attitude towards people and a willingness to try new things.

Pray

Prayer changes things, bringing comfort to those in difficult situations and healing the broken hearted. Join HEART in praying for struggling families trying to rebuild their lives, and for the children who have lost their toys and homes in the wake of natural disasters. Please pray for comfort and peace over their families and communities.
