The Charity Starts

The 'Charity Starts at Home and Spreads Abroad
Ministry' is the newest component
of Faith Hope Charity Ministries International.
Based on Acts, Chapter 1, verse 8, "But ye
shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth." the ministry
launched its first missionary/evangelistic trip, as
such, in November, 2005. Although Minister Johnson
has led and participated in several church crusades in
Jamaica, West Indies, he says, "
I used to dream and have visions of evangelizing and
doing missionary work in the far and remote places of
the world." The dream has become reality. |

In November, 2005, the ministry traveled to the
Philippines, a region comprising more than 7,000
islands. Hosted by Pastor Vincent Padupad and his
wife, Founders of Coastland Missions in Baguio City,
Johnson and a group of about 30 Filipino pastors,
Christian musicians, medical and business professionals
traveled over 900 miles evangelizing and providing
medical and dental assistance to some of the most
indigent people in the world. Encompassing a total of 14
days, the last 4 days of the trip were spent in
Mindanao, a southern region of the Philippines. When
asked what was the highlight of the mission, Johnson
replied, "Being able to
minister and prophesy to about 25 gang members aged
15-25. They had heard of my testimony and were waiting
for me." Today, those members of one of the
most notorious gangs in the Philippines are serving the
Lord Jesus Christ. |

In April, 2006, the ministry traveled to Kigali, Rwanda,
Africa. Minister Johnson shared his testimony at
several services and was the keynote speaker at a youth
conference attended by a large number of youths. Having
visited Romania and just recently returning from Brazil,
we learned that 20,000 people die a violent death
annually in Brazil. 80% of youths killed in northeast
Recife are 19 years old and younger. Johnson
conveys that it was difficult for him to return to the
United States. He says "The
harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will
send forth laborers into his harvest", St.
Matthew 9:37,38. Contact the ministry for more information about our
missions and outreach programs.
The Faith, Hope,
Charity Outreach, & Prison Ministry:
The Faith, Hope, Charity Outreach and Prison Ministry
continues to remember them that are in bonds as bound
with them and them which suffer adversity as being
ourselves also in the body, (Hebrews 13:3).
The ministry, teaching a strong Biblical message of
repentance and salvation, continues to break new ground
as it prays for the forgotten; reaches out to "the
unreachable"; and seeks those that are lost (St.
Luke 19:9, 10).
Min. Johnson, early in his conversation, had a dream
that he was admitted into a local county correctional
facility as a Bible teacher. Being gifted with a love
for prison incarcerates, he has served as a volunteer
Protestant chaplain for 14 years. One inmate writes,
"First, I will give thanks and
my praises to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I thank
Him for saving me when I was a little girl while living
with my foster grandmother. She was a Christian and a
prayer warrior. I believe that I would have committed
suicide some 20 years ago, if the word of the Lord had
not been ministered to me way back then. My suicidal
thoughts had nothing to do with my foster care
situation....The reason why the spirit of suicide nearly
overtook my mind and life was because of my present
situation which involves my commission of a crime. It
was a crime of deception which robbed me of the best
years of my life. One minute, I was moving on with my
life in a usual manner; and then in the next minute I
was behind bars. I was deceived by a childhood friend to
commit the crime. It took me a while to forgive my
friend but it took me even longer to forgive God. The
only reason I'm still alive today is because God has
willed it so and He has shown me glimpses of His purpose
for my life.
Also, having Minister Johnson as
my Biblical instructor and Brother in Christ throughout
the years has truly been inspiring. To hear his
testimonies about the battles he has overcome and the
victories he has won, show me that I too can talk openly
about some of my past struggles. I am so proud of you,
Minister Johnson. Your passion for the Lord continues to
encourage me to grow more in the Word of the Lord, so I
can become an effective servant of our Lord. Thank you
for allowing yourself to be a faithful servant of our
Savior and to be a blessing to us."
Recently at a Sunday evening service at a prison, 17
people came forward to accept the Lord Jesus Christ and
to be filled with the Holy Spirit. At least 2 of them
who came forward were filled with the Holy Spirit as it
was evidenced and witnessed. Praise God!
