About Us

Raising Up, Reaching Out

Open Hearts Open Hands Inc, a domestic nonprofit corporation, is a ministry rooted and grounded in the sound doctrine of the Holy Word of Our Creator, Yahweh. All writings, publications and teachings are scripturally based.

This ministry comes from a Messianic Hebrew view and way of life, teaching Yahweh's Torah (law) and believing his son Yahshua (Yahweh's Salvation) is the Messiah who came to fulfill the Torah. (Matt. 5:17) 

What started out as a small group of believers in prison gathered together with a hunger and thirst for real relationship and authentic worship experiences, Yahweh took that humble group of men and turned the group meetings into ministry. The Hebrew men at Johnson State Prison met twice a week for study group and Sabbath service. The group became known among themselves as Qehilah HaEmeth; in English this means "Fellowship of The Truth." Out of these study group meetings and Sabbath services was born a monthly newsletter where the brethren wrote spirit filled articles teaching the truths of the Holy Word as well as teaching the Hebrew Aleph-Bet and other Hebrew words/phrases.

The brethren of Qehilah HaEmeth became more than a group of believers, they became brothers who genuinely loved each other. The mission of their ministry has always been raising up new believers by sharing the love of Yahweh and the truth of Yahshua while reaching out to help anyone in need of a listening ear, warm arms for comfort or shoulder to cry on and of course prayer. The brothers are always ready to stand in the gap for another.

 Open Hearts Open Hands will always be centered around prison outreach but we are taking the ministry outside the prison walls and into the hearts of men and women nationwide! If you need prayer or would like to know more about our Faith Community please email us at [email protected]


We would be happy to pray with you and pray for you or answer any questions you may have! 



May Yahweh bless you and keep you is our prayer. Shalom Aleichem (Peace be unto you.)
