Our story and mission

Giving Hands Ministries International was founded by Apostle Ermon K. Trotter Jr. with a vision to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish ministries founded upon the principles and teachings of the Holy Scriptures. What began as a small ministry devoted to preaching, discipleship, prayer, and serving others has, by God's grace, grown into an international outreach impacting lives across multiple nations. Guided by a commitment to biblical truth, apostolic leadership, and the Great Commission, Giving Hands Ministries International continues to equip believers, strengthen churches, develop leaders, and demonstrate the love of Christ through evangelism, missions, compassionate outreach, and sound biblical teaching. Our foundation remains unchanged: to glorify God by faithfully advancing His Kingdom and making disciples of all nations.

Giving Hands Ministries International exists to make a lasting difference by reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through biblical truth, compassionate outreach, and Christ-like love. Our primary focus is fulfilling the Lord's command to go into the highways and hedges and compel people to come to Christ (Luke 14:23). We believe lives are transformed through the faithful teaching of Scripture, genuine acts of kindness, and demonstrating the love of God in practical ways. Our mission is to draw people to the cross, lead them into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, disciple them according to God's Word, and encourage them to live holy, separated lives that reflect the standards of God's Kingdom. By raising up mature believers and serving our communities with compassion, we seek to bring hope, restoration, and the transforming power of the Gospel to people and nations around the world.
