THOUSAND HILLS MINISTRY, INC.
SANFORD, FLORIDA

Thousand Hills is a ministry of Christ followers believing Christ is the answer and the church has God-given authority over peoples spiritual lives. Christ is the perfect example of caring for those in need, spiritually and physically. In truth, Christ demonstrated care and compassion to draw people to himself, restoring all things. We believe the tools and encouragement we provide church leaders are a part of bringing about restoration of ALL things. It’s our mission to equip church leaders with tools and training to see people restored to being what God created them to be: people who understand that they are created in the image of God with gifts, abilities, and capacity to make decisions effecting Christlike change, people equipped to steward; their families and villages resources and relationships in order to bring Christ glory. Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself human nature with its demands and necessities and identifying Himself completely with mankind yet without sin. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion. He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man. He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to consummate His redemptive mission. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever present Lord. You’ve probably heard that giving a man a fish feeds him for a day, while teaching him to fish feeds him for a lifetime. But helping him farm feeds others, too. It changes communities, not just individuals. Thousand Hills Ministry was founded in 2011 to support the life-changing efforts of Haitian Christians who believe God wants to bless their land and their people, through economic development and job creation. By providing tools and training in agriculture, irrigation, and livestock care to church-based projects, we are helping demonstrate and declare the love of God to the people of Haiti. Coming alongside local Christians as supporters and partners, we can help others in their community find hope and dignity as they are empowered to make a future for themselves. Brian left a successful career in corporate America in 2007 after a short-term missions trip to Haiti opened his eyes to the needs in the developing world—and the opportunities to be part of the answer. Since then he has traveled to Haiti numerous times to help support local church initiatives. He helped found Thousand Hills Ministry in 2011 to focus exclusively on gospel-based economic development projects in Haiti.
