- Mission Statement | Jehovah SaintsJehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins
Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins Faith - Mission Statement Jehovah’s HOUSE of Saints FAITH Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are defined as monotheistic. They all believe in one God, whom they refer to as the "God of Abraham." Jehovah Saints are Uniting All Faiths of the "God of Abraham" Jews call "God of Abraham" Yahweh in Hebrew Christians call "God of Abraham" Jehovah in English Muslims call "God of Abraham" Allah in Arabic Ephesians 2:19 Through Jesus Christ, "you are no longer foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of Jehovah." "Jesus spoke Aramaic, which is an Arabic Language" Mark 15:34: Jesus shouted in a loud voice, (in Aramaic) "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, for what have you forsaken me?" Jehovah Saints Faith is "SEP Trinity", Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. SEP means "Separated", but all three Jehovah,Jesus, and the Holy Spirit work together as One. Even as when a man and a woman marry, they become One Flesh, Genesis 2:24 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." Salvation: Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you will perish.” Luke 13:5 "Truly, our fellowship is with Jehovah, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. If we confess our sins, Jehovah is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, If we say that we have not sinned, we make Jehovah a liar, and His word is not in us.” 1 John 1:3-10 Baptism Not Required: but it Builds Faith. Romans 10:9-10: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that Jehovah raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” Jehovah Saints Faith in Hell: (Rich Man In Hell) Luke, chapter 16 "And JESUS said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man..." And in Hell, he lifts up his eyes, being in torment... And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this FLAME." Matthew 18:8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. The Prayer of the Saints St. Mykul’s prayer: “I pray for Jehovah to speak through me all the time, and I pray for Jehovah to remove all my thoughts, and implant His thoughts all the time, as I do not even want my thoughts.” Faith in Angels: Exodus 23:20-24 "Behold, I, Jehovah, sent an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My 'name' is in Him. But if you obey His voice and do all that I, Jehovah, speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries... You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars. Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect hospitality to strangers, for by doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it. Jehovah Saints Put God First King David said, "Whom have I in heaven but You? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside You." ~ Psalm 73:25 Faith in Praying, Fasting to Resist Demons, Devils: Matthew 17:18-21 Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed from him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus and said, “Why could we not cast him out?” Jesus said unto them, “Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Remove hence to yonder place,’ and it shall remove. And nothing shall be impossible for you. However, this kind (devil) goes not out but by prayer and fasting.” James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to Jehovah. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Faith in Laws: God Jehovah gave us 10 Laws to live by, all other laws are man's laws. The Bible is a History Book of man’s laws: In Romans 14, what is Sin to one person is Not Sin to another person. Stronger Faith People understand this, and do not tempt the weaker faith with what the weaker faith might consider wrong. Some of Man's Laws: Exodus 35:2 "Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on Sabbath shall be put to death." Deuteronomy 23:2 "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation (Church Building) of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation (Church Building) of the LORD." Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lies with mankind, as he lies with a woman, they shall surely be put to death." None of the above are God's Laws, but man's laws. 10 Laws are all God gave us. Jesus did NOT like the High Priest at the Temple at ALL. Jesus said to the High Priest at Temple, "You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of lies. And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not." John 8:44-45 Faith in Jesus: Jehovah's Son, "Jesus," Ruler Over All Kings of Earth. Revelations 1:5 "Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, is the firstborn from the dead, and Jesus is the ruler of the kings of the earth." John 12:28-31 Jesus said, “Father Jehovah, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, Jehovah, saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again… This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.” Faith in Jehovah: Jehovah is the Father God, and Jesus is His Son The name Jehovah holds profound significance in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is a name that encapsulates the divine attributes and serves as a powerful symbol of God’s presence and authority. Let us explore the biblical references where this sacred name appears in the King James Version (KJV). 1. Psalms 83:18 "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." In this verse, the psalmist acknowledges God’s supremacy by emphasizing that His name—JEHOVAH—stands alone as the highest authority over the entire earth. 2. Isaiah 12:2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation." Isaiah extols the Lord as the source of salvation, emphasizing that JEHOVAH is not only the strength of His people but also their song of deliverance. 3. Exodus 6:3 "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." In this passage, God reveals His name, JEHOVAH to Moses, highlighting its significance as a revelation distinct from His previous interactions with the patriarchs. 4. Isaiah 26:4 "Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in JEHOVAH is everlasting strength." Isaiah emphasizes that JEHOVAH provides unwavering strength—an eternal foundation for trust and reliance. 5. Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAHjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen." 6. Exodus 17:15 "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAHnissi:" 7. Judges 6:24 "Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it JEHOVAHshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. Remember, the King James Version preserves the sacredness of this name, allowing us to connect with the Almighty through the ages. Other translations have removed God's name JEHOVAH in the Bible, and some translations have removed JEHOVAH all together and replaced it with the name Lord. "The More You Know" Faith in Eternal Life: John 17:3 And this is eternal life—that they know you, the only true God, Jehovah, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. Matthew 25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life. John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Jehovah who sent me Jesus, has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. How to Endure Temptation? James 1:13-18 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by Jehovah: for Jehovah cannot be tempted with evil, nor tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away from his own lust, and enticed... Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variableness, no shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. Jesus and His Relationship with God No One Has Seen God Except Jesus: John 1:18 states, “No one has ever seen God; the only God, except Jesus, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.” This verse emphasizes that Jesus uniquely reveals God to humanity. If you’ve seen Jesus, you’ve encountered God’s Spirit in him, but you did not see God. The Bible states in Exodus 33:20 Jehovah says, “You cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” Which means Jesus was not God, as if Jesus were God, then everyone would have died that looked upon Jesus. Jesus’ Words About His Father: Jesus acknowledges the Father’s greatness. He says, “My Father (Jehovah) is greater than I, Jesus” (John 14:28). Why Did Jesus Say, “Why Do You Call Me Good?”: When someone addressed Jesus as “good,” Jesus responded, “Why do you call me good? Jesus said, No one is good except God (Jehovah) alone” (Mark 10:18). Jesus didn’t claim equality with God in every aspect. Jesus’ Prayers to God (Jehovah): Jesus prayed to God, demonstrating His dependence and relationship with the Father Jehovah. His prayers were genuine, not for show. For instance, in the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed fervently before His arrest (Matthew 26:36-46). You Are gods: In Psalm 82:6, it says, “I said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’” Jesus referenced this passage when confronted by the Jews, who accused Him of making Himself equal to God (John 10:34-36). The context suggests that humans, as God’s representatives, are called “gods” (with a lowercase “g”). The Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Word are "ONE" as stated in 1 John 5:7. Just as a married couple becomes "ONE" flesh, they work together as "ONE", as stated in Mark 10:8. This does not mean two fleshly bodies become one fleshly body; it just means two people are working together as one. As all three Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus work together as One. Jesus Praying to God, Jehovah Hebrews 5:7 "Jesus offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One (Jehovah) able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety." Luke 3:21 "Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while Jesus was praying, heaven was opened," Matthew 14:23 "After He had sent the crowds away, Jesus went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone." (This verse shows us that Jesus was not praying to show others how to pray, because Jesus went by himself to pray alone, and praying to his Father, Jehovah.) Mark 6:46 After bidding them farewell, Jesus left for the mountain to pray. Luke 6:12 It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and Jesus spent the whole night in prayer to God. Mark 1:35 In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, went away to a secluded place, and was praying there. Luke 5:16 But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray. Luke 9:18 And it happened that while Jesus was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” Matthew 26:36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” Matthew 26:39 And Jesus went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father (Jehovah), if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” Matthew 26:42 Jesus went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father (Jehovah), if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.” Matthew 26:44 And Jesus left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. Mark 14:32 They came to a place named Gethsemane; and Jesus said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.” Mark 14:35 And Jesus went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by. Mark 14:39 Again Jesus went away and prayed, saying the same words. There are several more verses where Jesus prayed to Father Jehovah, but it will take of the entire page writing them. You get the picture though. The Mark of the Beast: What Does Revelation 13:17 Say? “so that no one can buy, sell or trade unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.” This verse continues to describe the False Prophet’s implementation of the “mark of the beast.” The Greek word used here is “charagma,” which originally referred to the branding of livestock. But in this context, it symbolizes something far more profound—a mark that identifies the bearer as loyal to the Antichrist. (Revelation 13:16) "he causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead" "If You Worship the Beast or take the Mark" (Revelation 14:9-11) And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. Jehovah Saints is Strong Faith like Abraham, David and Solomon: Biblical Polygamy Strong Faith means we have a better understanding of God. David’s Wives and God’s Role In 2 Samuel 12:7-8, God gave David all of Saul’s wives. These women were given to David directly by God Himself. This act demonstrates that God did not see anything wrong with David having multiple wives. Other Biblical Examples of Polygamy King David was not the only man in the Bible with multiple wives. Father Abraham, another great man of God, had two wives and also had children with his girlfriends. King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, had several wives and girlfriends. Esteemed Men in God’s Eyes. Despite their polygamous relationships, both David and Solomon were highly esteemed by God. Their actions were recorded in the Bible for us to learn from.. Differing Views Among Preachers Interestingly, many preachers today do not believe that having multiple wives is right. They often reference the teachings of Paul, whose faith was weak, Paul did not have a good understanding of God. Paul believes in one man and one wife, but God is fine with multiple wives, as Jehovah gave David all of Saul's wives. Romans 14 explains to us, what is sin to one person, is not sin to another. Romans 14 also explains, one person is weak in faith, and one is strong in faith. And the stronger faith, is not to tempt the weaker faith with what the weaker faith thinks is sin, because it really is sin to them but not sin to you. Sin is just a mistake; if you feel you made a mistake, just pray and ask God to forgive you, and God forgives and forgets. So if you were to pray again about what you thought was a mistake, God would not know what you were talking about. If the weaker faith person you tempted were to partake in what they think is sin, it is sin to them, and it harms them spiritually. When the spirit hurts, it does bodily harm, as stated in Proverbs 17:22 "...a broken spirit dries the bones." This verse explains to us, if you are hurting spiritually, it does bodily harm, you become ill, thinking you did something wrong, even though it is acceptable in God's eyes. Like I said, if you think you did something wrong, just ask for forgiveness, and God will heal your body. God’s Unchanging Nature The Bible asserts that God does not change; He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. If God saw fit to bless David with multiple wives, who are we to say it was wrong? Christian Polygamy Contrary to some beliefs, Christian polygamy is not considered a sin in God's eyes. Instead of judging, we should pray for understanding when faced with differing viewpoints, as stated in Romans chapter 14. Trusting in God’s Wisdom Let us trust in God’s wisdom, even when His plans don’t align with our own beliefs. Just as David, Abraham, and Solomon had multiple wives, and girlfriends and they followed God’s will, we should seek to align ourselves with His divine plan. God’s Ways Are Higher Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that God’s ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are higher than ours. "And, Jesus said, the truth will set you free. John 8:32" “Top 4 Programs” Jehovah Saints Programs: 1. **Homeless Shelter Program**: Plans to purchase property and build Jehovah Saints homeless shelters throughout the USA, then globally. One vehicle per shelter, computers inside shelters for the homeless to find jobs, counseling for homeless via Zoom, and more. QLink Wireless has partnered with us to supply every homeless person with mobile phones. and assistance with finding permanent housing. James 2:15 "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?" 2. **Bible Classes in Schools Initiative**: We advocate for the inclusion of Bible classes in schools, understanding the importance of character development and moral education. Through this initiative, we work with schools and educational authorities to introduce Bible classes into schools, giving students the opportunity to learn about God's teachings and values. The Value of Bible Classes in Schools in Promoting Understanding and Peace: "Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14 The importance of having Bible classes in schools goes beyond just the words "In God We Trust" on our money and "One Nation Under God" in our pledge of allegiance. Many children do not even know who God is, and do not have parents who teach them about God's Word, leaving them with limited understanding of religious beliefs and values. By incorporating Bible classes into schools, children can gain a better understanding of God and God's principles that guide their faith. We put God on our money and say in our pledge of allegiance, but no one can tell the children about God. Isaiah 60:12 "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve Jehovah shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted." The Bible helps to promote moral values and ethics, ultimately reducing violence and promoting peace in our communities. It is essential for children to have a solid foundation in their religious beliefs in order to navigate the challenges of the modern world. How many children do you know that read their Bible every day and then go out and commit a school shooting? Help us put an end to school violence by sharing our site with others. Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it." The Bible states we learn from one another, but what are these children learning? Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.' 3. **Pro-Life Campaign**: Our pro-life campaign aims to raise awareness about the value of human life and advocate for alternatives to abortion. We provide resources and support to pregnant women facing challenging circumstances, offering counseling, education. "The Sanctity of Life: A Spiritual Perspective on the Beginning of Life" Let's discuss the beginning of life. Life begins when the heart starts beating, as this signifies the presence of a soul within the body. I have personally received guidance from God on this matter. Your soul is connected to the "Sinus Node" area of the heart, which sends out electrical impulses throughout the body, sending messages from Soul to Human Brain. Bible states, flesh (brain) is weak, but the Soul is strong, and the Holy Ghost is stronger. In the Bible, it is mentioned that God is aware of your thoughts in both the heart and mind. This shows that God knows what you are "thinking" constantly. Your soul is often referred to as the subconscious mind by doctors, and it holds more information than the human brain. Traumatic events are stored in the subconscious mind, also called soul, and may not be fully known to the conscious brain. The subconscious mind is “part” of the “soul” also known as “spirit” or “ghost” like the Holy Ghost. Doctors declare a person clinically dead, once all the electricity has left the body; this means the Soul has left the body, as the Soul is no longer attached to the "Sinus Node" area of the heart. From this understanding, we can conclude that once a baby's heart starts beating, the baby has a soul and is alive. I have witnessed a heartbreaking incident where a doctor callously disregarded the life of an abortion baby, by placing it on the counter, then instructing the nurse to discard the baby into the trashcan once it stopped moving. Such heartlessness is truly disturbing. Jeremiah 1:5 “Before Jehovah formed you in the womb, He knew you." Psalm 139:13-16 "For Jehovah formed my inward parts; God knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Job 31:15 "Did not Jehovah who made me in the womb, make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?" 4. **Prison Ministry**: Our prison ministry program aims to support incarcerated individuals in their spiritual and personal growth. We provide regular visits, mentorship, and pastoral care to prisoners, helping them develop a strong moral foundation, find meaning in their lives, and prepare for successful re-entry into society. Additionally, we offer programs such as educational classes, vocational training, and counseling to empower prisoners to rebuild their lives. A lot of Strong Faith people are in prisons, just like in Biblical Times.. Hebrews 13:3 "Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body."

- What is a 508(c)(1)(A)? | Jehovah SaintsJehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins
"Learn about 508(c)(1)(A) organizations, a special designation for faith-based, non-profit ministries that operate with tax-exempt status while maintaining religious freedom and autonomy." Jehovah Saints A 508(c)(1)(A) non-profit faith-based organization is a type of tax-exempt organization in the United States specifically designated for churches, ministries, and other religious organizations. It is distinct from the more commonly known 501(c)(3) organizations, though both are tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Below is a detailed explanation of what a 508(c)(1)(A) organization is: 1. What is a 508(c)(1)(A)? 508(c)(1)(A) refers to a section of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code that automatically exempts certain religious organizations, such as churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship, from federal income tax. These organizations are not required to apply for formal recognition of their tax-exempt status with the IRS (as 501(c)(3) organizations typically do). They are automatically considered tax-exempt as long as they meet the criteria of being a church or a religious organization. 2. Key Features of a 508(c)(1)(A) Organization Faith-Based Focus: These organizations are specifically for religious purposes, such as churches, ministries, or other faith-based missions. Automatic Tax Exemption: Unlike 501(c)(3) organizations, which must file Form 1023 to apply for tax-exempt status, 508(c)(1)(A) organizations are automatically tax-exempt if they meet the criteria for being a church or religious organization. No Annual Filing Requirement: Churches and other 508(c)(1)(A) organizations are generally not required to file Form 990 (the annual information return required of most 501(c)(3) organizations). First Amendment Protections: These organizations often emphasize their First Amendment rights, including freedom of religion and speech, which allows them to operate with less government interference compared to other types of non-profits. 3. Differences Between 508(c)(1)(A) and 501(c)(3) While both are tax-exempt, there are some notable differences: Feature 508(c)(1)(A) and 501(c)(3) 508(c)(1)(A) Purpose Specifically for churches, ministries, and faith-based organizations. 501(c)(3) Broader scope, including charities, schools, etc. 508(c)(1)(A) Tax Exemption Automatic (no application required) 501(c)(3) Must apply using IRS Form 1023 508(c)(1)(A) Annual Filing (Form 990) Not required for churches. 501(c)(3) Required for most organizations. 508(c)(1)(A) Government Oversight Minimal due to First Amendment protections. 501(c)(3) More oversight and compliance requirements. 508(c)(1)(A) Political Activity Limited, but some argue more flexibility for churches. 501(c)(3) Strictly limited under IRS rules. 4. Benefits of 508(c)(1)(A) Status Privacy: Churches and ministries do not need to disclose financial details publicly, as they are not required to file Form 990. First Amendment Protections: Because these organizations are rooted in religious freedom, they often have greater protections from government interference. Ease of Formation: There is no lengthy application process for tax-exempt status, as the exemption is automatic for qualifying religious organizations. Flexibility in Operations: Some argue that 508(c)(1)(A) organizations have more flexibility in areas like political involvement, though this is still subject to interpretation and legal limits. 5. Limitations of a 508(c)(1)(A) Organization Religious Focus Required: These organizations must be faith-based and exist for religious purposes. They cannot operate as secular charities or non-profits. Not Ideal for Non-Religious Causes: If your organization is not explicitly religious, it will not qualify for 508(c)(1)(A) status and would need to apply under 501(c)(3). Misuse Risks: Some organizations improperly claim 508(c)(1)(A) status to avoid IRS scrutiny. It’s essential to operate within the law and ensure the organization genuinely qualifies as a church or religious entity. 6. What Qualifies as a Church or Religious Organization? The IRS uses a set of criteria to determine whether an organization qualifies as a church or religious organization under 508(c)(1)(A). These include: Having a distinct legal existence Recognized creed and form of worship Regular religious services Established places of worship Ordained ministers or clergy Religious instruction for members A membership not associated with any other church or denomination 7. Examples of 508(c)(1)(A) Organizations Local churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples. Ministries focused on evangelism, outreach, or faith-based education. Religious missions or organizations that provide spiritual guidance and support. A 508(c)(1)(A) non-profit faith-based organization is a powerful way for churches and ministries to operate with tax-exempt status while maintaining their religious freedoms. It provides the benefits of tax exemption without the extensive filing and reporting requirements of a 501(c)(3). However, it’s essential to ensure that the organization truly qualifies as a church or religious entity and operates in compliance with IRS guidelines. For religious organizations seeking to focus on ministry and outreach, this designation aligns with both practical and spiritual goals. Are Donations to 508(c)(1)(A) Non-Profit Organizations Tax-Deductible? Donations to 508(c)(1)(A) non-profit organizations are generally tax-deductible for donors, provided certain conditions are met. These organizations are faith-based and operate under the umbrella of tax exemption as outlined in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Below, we explain how this works and what donors need to know about contributing to these organizations. Why Are Donations Tax-Deductible? The IRS recognizes 508(c)(1)(A) organizations as a subset of 501(c)(3) organizations. This means they share the same benefits, including: Tax-Exempt Status: The organization does not pay federal income taxes on its charitable activities. Deductible Contributions: Donations made to the organization can be deducted from the donor’s taxable income, provided the donation meets IRS guidelines. How to Ensure Your Donation is Tax-Deductible To claim a tax deduction for a donation to a 508(c)(1)(A) organization, follow these steps: 1. Verify the Organization's Status While 508(c)(1)(A) organizations are not always listed in the IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Search database (since they are automatically exempt ), you can confirm their status by contacting the organization directly. 2. Obtain a Receipt The organization should provide a written acknowledgment or receipt for your donation. This receipt should include: The organization’s name. The date of the donation. The amount of the donation. A statement that no goods or services were provided in exchange for the donation (if applicable). 3. Keep Records Maintain records of your donation, such as canceled checks, credit card statements, or receipts from the organization. 4. Consult a Tax Professional If you’re unsure about the deductibility of your donation, consult a tax advisor or accountant to ensure compliance with IRS regulations. IRS Guidelines for Tax-Deductible Donations To qualify as tax-deductible, donations must meet the following IRS requirements: The donation must be made to a qualified non-profit organization (such as a 508(c)(1)(A) organization). The donation must be a gift, meaning you do not receive goods or services in return. You must itemize deductions on your tax return to claim the deduction. Benefits of Donating to a 508(c)(1)(A) Organization Support Faith-Based Initiatives: Your contribution helps support religious programs, ministries, and charitable activities that align with the organization’s mission. Tax Savings: By deducting your donation, you can reduce your taxable income and potentially lower your tax bill. Impactful Giving: Donations to faith-based organizations often go directly toward helping those in need, including providing food, shelter, counseling, and spiritual support. Conclusion Donations to 508(c)(1)(A) non-profit organizations are typically tax-deductible, offering you the opportunity to support faith-based initiatives while reducing your taxable income. However, it’s important to ensure the organization meets IRS requirements and to keep proper documentation of your contributions. If you have any questions about donating to a 508(c)(1)(A) organization or claiming your deduction, consult the organization directly or seek advice from a tax professional.

- Job Search USA | Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelter ProgramJehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins
"Explore faith-based job opportunities with Jehovah Saints. Find meaningful work that aligns with your values and helps you serve others while growing spiritually. Start your job search today!" The Journey of a Job Search: A Story of Perseverance, Networking, and Growth Once upon a time, in a bustling city full of opportunities, a young professional named Sarah found herself embarking on a challenging yet transformative journey: the search for her dream job. After graduating from college with a degree in business administration, Sarah was eager to put her skills to use, but finding the right career opportunity proved to be more difficult than she had anticipated. The Beginning of the Job Search Sarah’s first step in her job search was creating a standout resume and cover letter. She spent hours researching the best ways to highlight her skills, such as project management, team leadership, and problem-solving. Using action verbs and quantifiable achievements, she crafted a professional resume tailored to the roles she was targeting. Next, Sarah turned to job boards like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor, where she scoured listings for positions that matched her qualifications. She used keywords like “entry-level project manager,” “business analyst,” and “marketing coordinator” to filter through thousands of postings. While some roles seemed like a perfect fit, others required skills she didn’t yet have, which made her feel discouraged. However, Sarah reminded herself that job searching was a process, and she decided to focus on improving her job search strategy. Networking: The Hidden Key to Success One day, while attending a career fair, Sarah met a recruiter from a well-known company. The recruiter emphasized the importance of networking and building relationships within her desired industry. Inspired, Sarah began reaching out to professionals on LinkedIn, sending personalized connection requests to people in roles she admired. She also joined professional organizations and attended industry events, where she met mentors and other job seekers who shared valuable insights about the job market. Through these connections, Sarah learned about the hidden job market—positions that are never advertised but filled through referrals and internal recommendations. One of her new connections, a former colleague from an internship, referred her to a hiring manager at a growing tech company. This referral led to her first job interview during her search. The Interview Process Excited yet nervous, Sarah prepared extensively for the interview. She researched the company’s mission, values, and recent projects. She practiced answering common behavioral interview questions, such as: “Tell me about a time you solved a problem at work.” “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” “Where do you see yourself in five years?” She also prepared questions to ask the interviewer, such as, “What does success look like in this role?” and “Can you tell me about the team I’d be working with?” Despite her preparation, Sarah didn’t get the job. While the rejection stung, she viewed it as a learning experience. The interviewer had given her feedback, suggesting she gain more experience with data analysis tools like Excel and Tableau. Sarah decided to take an online course to improve her skills, making her more competitive for future roles. Upskilling and Staying Motivated As weeks turned into months, Sarah realized that staying motivated during a job search was just as important as applying for positions. To keep herself on track, she created a daily schedule that included: Applying for jobs: Sending out 5-10 tailored applications per day. Networking: Reaching out to at least 3 new connections or mentors. Upskilling: Spending an hour each day learning new skills through platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning. Self-care: Taking breaks and practicing mindfulness to avoid burnout. She also started volunteering at a local nonprofit, which not only enriched her resume but also gave her a sense of purpose while she searched for a job. The Breakthrough One day, Sarah came across a job posting for a marketing coordinator position at a company she admired. The description matched her skills and experience perfectly, and she quickly submitted her application. Within a week, she received an email inviting her to a phone screening. The process moved quickly from there. After the phone screening, Sarah was invited to a panel interview with the marketing team. She showcased her knowledge of the company, her enthusiasm for the role, and the new skills she had acquired during her job search. A few days later, Sarah received the call she had been waiting for: she got the job! The hiring manager commended her for her persistence, preparation, and ability to adapt by learning new skills. Lessons Learned Sarah’s job search had been a long and sometimes frustrating journey, but it taught her valuable lessons: Persistence Pays Off: Rejections are part of the process, but each one brings you closer to the right opportunity. Networking is Powerful: Many opportunities come from personal connections, so don’t underestimate the value of building relationships. Upskilling is Essential: The job market is competitive, and staying relevant means continuously learning and improving your skills. Tailored Applications Work: A generic resume won’t stand out. Tailoring your application to each job posting increases your chances of success. Self-Care Matters: Job searching can be emotionally taxing, so taking care of your mental and physical health is crucial. Conclusion Sarah’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and adaptability during a job search. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to make a career change, remember that every application, interview, and connection is a step closer to achieving your goals. By staying focused, leveraging the right job search tools, and continuously improving yourself, you too can find the career opportunity you’ve been dreaming of. Keep pushing forward—your breakthrough is just around the corner!

"Experience the Jehovah Saints Future Temple, a groundbreaking fusion of faith and technology. A beacon of light and innovation, uniting spirituality, advanced design, and global worship in a sanctuary of eternal hope." VISION Future Jehovah Saints International Headquarters Image Loading... Unity in Worship: A Vision of Peace and Collaboration The Image and Its Meaning The image above is an AI-generated representation, intentionally designed to resemble a mosque with a cross on top, symbolizing the unity and shared foundations of the Abrahamic faiths: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It reflects the vision of Jehovah Saints to foster collaboration and mutual respect among these faiths, as we all worship the same God—the God of Abraham. Scripture Inspiration: “Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us?” — Malachi 2:10 Shared Heritage: The God of Abraham Our vision is inspired by the shared ancestry of the Abrahamic religions: Judaism: The descendants of Abraham’s son Jacob. Islam: The descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael. Christianity: Those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, who is rooted in the lineage of Abraham. These three faiths are intrinsically connected, all tracing their spiritual heritage back to Abraham, a man of great faith and obedience to God. Scripture Inspiration: “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” — Genesis 12:2-3 A Vision for Peace and Unity Jehovah Saints knows that Jews, Muslims, and Christians are brothers and sisters under God, and we are called to live in peace and harmony. Our vision is to reflect this unity in our actions and projects. By incorporating architectural elements of both mosques and churches, we aim to symbolize the shared values and aspirations of these faiths. Our ultimate goal is to foster peace on Earth while serving those in need, such as through our global homeless shelter initiatives. Scripture Inspiration: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9 The Call to Love Your Neighbor At the heart of our mission is the commandment to love and treat others as we would want to be treated. This principle is shared across Christianity, Judaism, and Islam and is the foundation of our work. Christianity: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Mark 12:31 Judaism: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” — Leviticus 19:18 Islam: “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” — Sahih Muslim 45 By treating everyone as our neighbor, regardless of faith or background, we aim to build bridges of understanding and compassion. Building Homeless Shelters: A Shared Mission Our work to build homeless shelters worldwide reflects our commitment to serving humanity and living out the values of our faith. This mission transcends religious boundaries and focuses on the shared call to care for the vulnerable and uplift the downtrodden. Scripture Inspiration: “If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother.

- Sermon Archives | Jehovah Saints | Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins
"Access our sermon archives for powerful messages of faith and inspiration. Explore past sermons on a variety of topics to strengthen your spiritual journey and grow closer to God." The Legacy of the Sermon Archives In the heart of the bustling city of Greenfield, nestled between towering skyscrapers and busy streets, stood an old, brick church known as Grace Cathedral. With its stained glass windows and towering spire, it was a landmark of faith and history, having served the community for over a century. The church was renowned not just for its beautiful architecture, but for the wisdom and inspiration imparted through the sermons delivered within its walls. For years, the sermons of Grace Cathedral had been a source of comfort and enlightenment to its congregation. But as time passed, the church faced a challenge familiar to many: the congregation was aging, and fewer young people were attending services. Recognizing the need to preserve the rich history of the church and reach a broader audience, Reverend Martin, the wise and compassionate pastor of Grace Cathedral, conceived the idea of creating a digital archive of the church's sermons. The project began modestly. Reverend Martin, along with a small team of dedicated volunteers, started by recording the weekly sermons. They set up a simple camera at the back of the church, capturing the heartfelt messages delivered from the pulpit. These recordings were then uploaded to a newly created website, where they could be accessed by anyone, anywhere. As the archive began to grow, it quickly became apparent that it was more than just a collection of sermons; it was a treasure trove of wisdom, history, and community spirit. Each sermon told a story—not just of scripture and theology, but of the people and events that shaped the community. Reverend Martin often wove in tales of local heroes, historical events, and personal anecdotes that resonated deeply with listeners. One day, as he was reviewing the archive, Reverend Martin received an email from a young woman named Lily. She had stumbled upon the sermon archive while searching for spiritual guidance online. Lily wrote, "Dear Reverend Martin, I can't express how much these sermons have meant to me. I've been struggling with my faith and feeling lost in the chaos of life. Listening to your words has brought me peace and clarity." Encouraged by Lily's message, Reverend Martin decided to expand the archive further. He reached out to former pastors and church members, gathering old recordings and written transcripts of sermons dating back decades. These historical sermons provided a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the evolving challenges and triumphs faced by the community over the years. As the archive grew, so did its impact. People from all over the world began to discover the sermons of Grace Cathedral. Some were drawn by the timeless wisdom and eloquence of the messages, while others were captivated by the rich history and sense of continuity they represented. The archive became a bridge connecting generations, offering insights into how faith had been lived and practiced through changing times. Lily, inspired by the sermons, decided to visit Grace Cathedral. She felt a deep connection to the community and wanted to experience the church in person. Her visit was transformative. She met Reverend Martin and shared her story, expressing her grati
- Story of Jesus Tahoe | Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints - Founder: Michael Hopkins
"Discover The Story of Jesus Tahoe, a powerful portrayal of Christ’s life and teachings. Experience this inspiring journey of faith set against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Tahoe." The Story of Jesus Tahoe: A Rolling Testament of Faith In a small, faith-filled community near Dexter, Missouri, there exists a truly unique and awe-inspiring vehicle known as "The Jesus Tahoe." This isn’t just any SUV—it’s a mobile masterpiece that tells the greatest story ever told: the life, death, resurrection, and eternal reign of Jesus Christ. What makes this Tahoe extraordinary is that it’s adorned with over 30 Biblical scriptures, carefully placed to create a visual and spiritual journey through the Bible’s central narrative. The Birth of Jesus: The Hood The story begins right where it should—on the hood of the Tahoe. Here, the miracle of Jesus’ birth is depicted with scriptures like Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given...” and Luke 2:11: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” The hood is painted with a celestial theme, featuring a bright star shining over Bethlehem, symbolizing the Star of David that guided the wise men to the newborn King. This section of the Tahoe reminds all who see it that Jesus’ journey began in humility, born in a manger, yet destined to change the world forever. The Life of Jesus: The Driver’s Side As you move to the driver’s side, the story of Jesus’ ministry unfolds. This side of the Tahoe is covered with scriptures and imagery that highlight Jesus’ teachings, miracles, and acts of compassion. Verses like Matthew 4:19: “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people,” and John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” are prominently displayed. Each scripture is accompanied by visual depictions of key moments from Jesus’ life—feeding the 5,000, walking on water, healing the sick, and preaching the Sermon on the Mount. This side of the Tahoe serves as a reminder of Jesus’ example of love, service, and obedience to God’s will. The Death of Jesus: The Back The back of the Tahoe is where the story turns somber yet profoundly significant—it tells of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Scriptures like John 19:30: “It is finished,” and Isaiah 53:5: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities...” are placed alongside a powerful image of the cross. This section also features the words of Jesus from Luke 23:34: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” The back of the Tahoe is a solemn yet hopeful reminder of the price Jesus paid for humanity’s sins, offering salvation to all who believe in Him. The Resurrection and Revelations: The Passenger Side The passenger side begins with the triumphant resurrection of Jesus, celebrating the moment that changed everything. Scriptures like Matthew 28:6: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said,” and John 11:25: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die,” proclaim the victory of Christ over death. As you move along this side of the Tahoe, the story transitions into the promises of Jesus’ return and the prophecies of Revelation. Verses like Revelation 1:8: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty,” and Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain...” bring the story full circle. The passenger side ends with a glorious depiction of the New Jerusalem, shining with the light of God’s eternal presence. It serves as a powerful reminder of the hope and promise of eternal life for those who follow Christ. A Moving Testament The Jesus Tahoe isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a rolling testament to God’s Word, a visual Bible that shares the story of Jesus with everyone who sees it. From the humble beginnings of Christ’s birth on the hood to the triumphant promises of Revelation on the passenger side, this SUV is a unique and creative way to spread the Gospel. Every scripture, every image, and every detail of the Jesus Tahoe is a labor of love and faith, created to inspire, educate, and remind people of the incredible story of Jesus Christ. Whether it’s parked in a church lot, driving down the highway, or simply sitting in a driveway, the Jesus Tahoe continues to share the Good News with all who encounter it. It’s more than a vehicle—it’s a ministry on wheels, a conversation starter, and a powerful reminder of the greatest story ever told.
- Advocating | Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelter Program
"Advocate for change with Bible classes in schools and support vital ministries for abortion alternatives, the homeless, and prison outreach. Together, we can make a lasting impact through faith and compassion." At Jehovah's HOUSE of Saints, we strive to live by the words of Philippians 2:4, focusing not only on our own interests but also on the interests of others. To fulfill this mission, we have developed various programs and initiatives to address the needs of those we serve. Here are some of our key programs we are working on: Homeless Shelter Program Mission Statement: Our Homeless Shelter Program is dedicated to providing safe, supportive environments for homeless individuals in the United States and eventually around the globe. With a focus on practical assistance, spiritual care, and long-term solutions, we aim to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and find permanent housing. Key Objectives: Building Shelters Across the USA and Globally: We plan to purchase property and construct Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters in communities across the United States, with a vision to expand globally. Each shelter will be equipped with resources and tools to help individuals transition from homelessness to stability. 2. Providing Essential Resources: Transportation: Each shelter will have one vehicle to assist residents with transportation needs, such as attending job interviews, medical appointments, or other essential activities. Technology Access: Computers will be available in every shelter to help residents search for jobs, complete applications, and access online resources for personal and professional development. Counseling Services: Counseling will be provided to residents via Zoom and other platforms, addressing emotional, psychological, and practical challenges they face. 3. Assistance with Housing: Our program will actively assist residents in finding permanent housing solutions, ensuring a sustainable path out of homelessness. Biblical Inspiration: Our mission is rooted in the teachings of the Bible, emphasizing the importance of caring for those in need. James 2:15 "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?" This scripture reminds us of the importance of not just offering kind words but also taking action to meet the physical and practical needs of others. Vision for the Future: By establishing Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters, we aim to create a network of support that provides not only temporary relief but also long-term solutions. Our vision is to restore dignity, hope, and purpose to the lives of those experiencing homelessness. Call to Action: Join us in this mission to combat homelessness and provide meaningful support to those in need. Together, we can make a difference in communities across the globe. Reading Script Above 00:00 / 02:28 Bible Classes on Computers in Schools Initiative Mission Statement: We advocate for the inclusion of Bible learning in schools, understanding the importance of character development and moral education. By providing students with access to the teachings and values of Jehovah, we aim to foster understanding, peace, and ethical growth. Free Audio Bibles: Students can listen to free Audio Bibles at Bible Gateway , making it easier for them to engage with God's Word. The Value of Bible Classes in Schools Promoting Understanding and Peace "Strive for peace with everyone and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." — Hebrews 12:14 The inclusion of Bible classes in schools serves a greater purpose than the symbolic phrases "In God We Trust" on our money or "One Nation Under God" in our pledge of allegiance. Many children today grow up without knowing who God is, as their parents may not teach them about God's Word. This leaves them with a limited understanding of religious beliefs and values. By incorporating Bible classes in schools, children can gain a deeper understanding of God and the principles that guide their faith. While we acknowledge God on our currency and in our national pledge, it is imperative that we also make room to teach children about Him in schools. The Role of the Bible in Moral Education The Bible promotes moral values and ethics, helping to reduce violence and foster peace in our communities. A solid foundation in religious beliefs equips children to navigate the challenges of the modern world with integrity and purpose. Isaiah 60:12 "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve Jehovah shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted." Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it." How many children do you know who read their Bible every day? By advocating for Bible education in schools, we can help end school violence and build a generation rooted in moral principles and peace. Learning and Growing Together The Bible teaches that we learn from one another. However, we must ask ourselves: What are children learning today? Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." By introducing Bible classes in schools, we can ensure that children are learning values that strengthen their character, relationships, and communities. Call to Action: Help us bring Bible education into schools by sharing this initiative with others. Together, we can foster a generation of children who understand God's teachings and live by His values. Reading Script Above 00:00 / 02:44 Pro-Life Campaign Mission Statement: Our pro-life campaign aims to raise awareness about the value of human life and advocate for alternatives to abortion. We provide resources and support to pregnant women facing challenging circumstances, offering counseling and education. The Sanctity of Life: A Spiritual Perspective on the Beginning of Life When Does Life Begin? Life begins when the heart starts beating, as this signifies the presence of a soul within the body. This belief is rooted in spiritual guidance and personal revelations. The soul is connected to the "Sinus Node" area of the heart, which sends out electrical impulses throughout the body, acting as a bridge between the soul and the human brain. Biblical Insight: The Bible states that while the flesh (brain) is weak, the soul is strong, and the Holy Ghost is stronger. God is aware of your thoughts in both the heart and mind, which implies that He knows what you are "thinking" constantly. Psalms 44:21, Psalm 94:11 The Role of the Soul: Doctors often refer to the part of the soul as the subconscious mind, which holds more information than the conscious mind. Traumatic events, for example, are stored in the subconscious (soul) and may not always be fully accessible to the conscious brain. Death and the Soul: Doctors declare a person clinically dead when all electrical activity has left the body. This is because the soul is no longer attached to the "Sinus Node" area of the heart, signifying the departure of the soul. So life begins with the heartbeat, as the sinus node sends out electrical impluses. Conclusion: From this understanding, we can conclude that once a baby's heart starts beating, the baby has a soul and is alive. This reinforces the sanctity of life from its earliest stages. A Heartbreaking Incident I have personally witnessed a tragic and disturbing incident where a doctor disregarded the life of an aborted baby. The baby was placed on the counter, still moving, and the doctor instructed the nurse to discard it into the trashcan once it stopped moving. Such heartlessness highlights the urgent need for compassion and respect for all human life. Biblical References on the Sanctity of Life: Jeremiah 1:5 “Before Jehovah formed you in the womb, He knew you." Psalm 139:13-16 "For Jehovah formed my inward parts; God knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Job 31:15 "Did not Jehovah who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?" Reading Script Above 00:00 / 02:44 Prison Ministry Initiative Mission Statement: Our prison ministry program is dedicated to supporting incarcerated individuals in their spiritual, personal, and practical growth. Through mentorship, pastoral care, and empowerment programs, we aim to help prisoners develop a strong moral foundation, find purpose in their lives, and prepare for successful re-entry into society. Key Objectives: 1. Spiritual Growth and Support: We provide mentorship and pastoral care to help prisoners strengthen their faith, build a deeper relationship with God, and find meaning in their lives. Biblical Inspiration: "Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body." — Hebrews 13:3 Many prisoners have strong faith, just as seen in Biblical times. Our ministry seeks to nurture and guide this faith for personal transformation. 2. Moral and Character Development: Through Bible study sessions and spiritual counseling, we encourage prisoners to build a strong moral foundation that will guide their choices and actions both inside and outside of prison. Empowerment Programs: 1. Educational Classes: Providing access to education to help prisoners develop essential skills for personal and professional growth. 2. Counseling Services: Providing emotional and psychological support to help prisoners heal from past traumas and develop positive coping mechanisms. Vision for Re-Entry: Our goal is to prepare prisoners for a successful transition back into society by equipping them with spiritual guidance, practical skills, and a renewed sense of purpose. By empowering them to rebuild their lives, we aim to reduce recidivism and foster hope for a brighter future. Call to Action: Join us in this important mission to bring hope, healing, and transformation to those who are incarcerated. Together, we can help them rebuild their lives and strengthen their faith. Reading Script Above 00:00 / 02:01 These programs are driven by our core values of compassion, faith, and service. We seek to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve, promoting love, understanding, and personal growth. By actively looking out for the interests of others, we hope to create a more inclusive and caring community.
