A Word for You

From Servant Hortense

"The reason it does not work without Jesus is because the manufacturer knows the product best."
— Hortense D. Grimes, Founder

"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Christ, the Son of God. I accept that you came into the world to die and pay the penalty for my sins. Jesus I confess my sins to you. I ask you to forgive me. Please come into my life and become my Lord and Savior."

About Us

The Story Behind Do It For Christ

Founded in 1999, Do It For Christ is a Spirit-led ministry rooted in prayer, Scripture, and the call to reach hurting souls with the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Our Story

How God Called This Ministry

The Divine Mandate

"In the early dawn of Sunday, August 1, 1999, as I slumbered, God came down to Bowie, Maryland, USA, and tapped me for kingdom work." God gave Servant Hortense a direct mandate to proclaim His Word and speak to hurting people, specifically on the continent of Africa. After wrestling with God through fear and tears, she surrendered to the plan.

The Name & The Calling

The ministry was named DO IT FOR CHRIST — where "IT" means "Living." To live for Christ. To do everything for Christ. "In this life we all experience trials one way or another. We can overcome adversity and turn troubles into triumphs by knowing Christ intimately."
