What is M10:10?
Mission 10:10 – In the Bible Jesus declares in John 10:10…
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Mission 10:10 believes that God’s intention was not for us to simply exist, but live abundant, full lives. An abundant life starts with basic needs being met.
Knowledge of Christ, food, water, shelter, medical care, education, and family are essential to live an abundant life. In order to impact the world for Christ, we focus on one community at a time and plan to duplicate the model as we see our communities live abundantly!
Our Vision
One person at a time. One church at a time. One community at a time. One country at a time. Any significant change starts with the life of just one…
Just one orphan
Just one Parent
Just one widow.
Through Christ, they learn to believe that an abundant life IS possible as we hold their hand through healing and empowering. We are not asking for child sponsorship, but to support family building. We need your support to transform the lives of kids, women, and families, thus transforming the nation.

Our Core Values
Our values are the Biblical values of our Heavenly Father. God tells us to go to the outer parts of the world and share the good news of Jesus Christ. We at Mission 10:10 are answering this call.
The Bible says that all people are created in the image of God and are very important to Him, therefore, everyone is important to us. Love is at the core of the Bible’s teachings and we aim to use love as the primary Biblical principal to empower the people in Ethiopia to achieve their most abundant life.

MINISTRIES
Abandoned Children
On The Street
Mission 10:10 strives to change the lives of “street’ kids. Orphaned or abandon to survive on their own, these kids know very little about real love or family.
Mission 10:10 provides a safe place for these boys and girls, to get a meal, clean water, clothes, but more importantly they experience the love of Jesus.
Through love, training, and counseling, our goal is not to institutionalize these children but to support Christian families, giving them the ability to provide family structure, and an abundant future.
Widows
Show Their Value
Mission 10:10 also recognizes the plight of the widow. Many women, left without a husband, have no way to provide for themselves or kids. They are often viewed as worthless. Mission 10:10 hopes to show these ladies their value, to God, and to the community.
Through generous donations we are teaching skills and providing
resources to these women that allow them to work, and live, and provided from a position of value.
God does not forget broken hearted people (Psalm 34:18),
He values them abundantly.
Safe Havens
Finding Families
Mission 10:10 was founded by orphan care workers and adoptive families. We love the care our kids received in a Christian orphanage. But all to often kids become too old to stay, have little opportunity, and return to poverty, hopelessness, and away from the church.
Mission 10:10 sees a new way. Rather than an orphanage we create family units, partnered with the local church and the community. Our goal is to support families to love and care for kids and to connect them with the church. We can change a community by supporting strong families.

Jeff Hands
President
Jeff is a pastor and a founding board member of Mission 10:10. Jeff and his wife Krista met at church while attending separate high schools and were married 4 years later in 1998. After graduating from Southern Nazarene University (OK), in 2000, with a technology management degree, he began working, while Krista completed graduate school, and they served together in their local church. In 2007 Jeff was called to full time church ministry, serving as a youth minister in Ohio and now as a senior pastor in Oklahoma City.
Jeff and Krista were called by God to adopt through amazing and devastating circumstances. A genetic family illness prompted Jeff and Krista to consider adoption for their family.
By God’s grace Krista was cleared of this disease, and their daughter Abigail was born in 2005, but the Holy Spirit had impressed the cause of the orphan in their life. Through what can only be described as a “God” thing Jeff and Krista were led to adopt from Ethiopia and in 2008 added Elias to their family, and fell in love with Ethiopia.
Over the next few years Krista led college students on multiple mission trips to Ethiopia. Jeff and Krista had not lost their heart for the kids there. In 2012 while on a mission trip God brought Lelise into their lives, hearts, and family, and in 2014 she got to come home. While arranging their daughter’s trip to the US, Temesgen was placed on the hearts of the Hands family, and a few months later a teenage boy graced their home.
Through it all God has continued to bless the Hands family and has connected many people and families of the same heart, leading to the creation of Mission 10:10. Seeing the beauty of Ethiopia and it’s people will change you, but you will also see the problems many of the children face. Ever thankful for the Christ relationship these kids received in their orphanage, there is still little hope of an abundant life. Through Mission 10:10 we hope to bring families and opportunities together to help as God directs each for the glory of His Kingdom.
