By His Hands offers household repair work to members of Willowbrook that are widows, single parents, wives of deployed service men, elderly, and those who are home-centered. The team extends their “hands” to those who may
need help with things like fixing a toilet or a drain, emergency yard work, building a ramp, wood trim, checking a leaky roof, repairing window areas, or help with painting. We work as a team several times a year based on requests, usually the first week or weekend of January, April, July and October (plus some emergency calls).

HPRC provides free and confidential help for those facing pregnancy-related decisions.  Each year, Willowbrook hosts a baby shower to supply the needs for the moms who have chosen life for their babies.

We also have KTECH, offering Mechatronics/Advanced Manufacturing training, soldering, and robotics classes to young adults living in foster care. Students enrolled in KTECH also participate in our LifeLab, which develops and promotes life skills.

The mission of Lincoln Village Ministry is to share the transforming power of the gospel of Christ and to serve through educating, sheltering, comforting, and equipping the Lincoln community for Christ’s glory.  In 2002, just a few miles from the wealthiest of neighbors, a little girl and her mother were surviving with no electricity and no running water. A single visit with this family opened the community’s eyes to a great need in their midst. This call has spread all over the city of Huntsville to pour out the hope and love of Jesus Christ into a community. We invite you to come see what is going on in Lincoln Village.

1 in 12 children under the age of 15 in the Loreto region of Peru are orphaned or in foster care.

Not Forgotten seeks to advocate for and rehabilitate children from Iquitos, Peru who are affected by the helplessness and hopelessness of their condition. Not Forgotten invites you to join us in  spreading the hope of Jesus Christ to these children, that they might find true life in Him and grow up to become agents of change in their communities.
