Contest Seeks to Find Best Voice, Hands for Jesus
An international media and healthcare ministry is sponsoring a contest to find some of the best project ideas on how to be the "voice" and "hands" of Jesus.
"We believe one of the ways God may be answering the prayers we have been encouraging since February is by giving His people new ideas and fresh enthusiasm for reaching both their neighbors and those around the world," said Wayne Pederson, president of HCJB Global. "The Voice and Hands Contest is a way of collecting these ideas, celebrating what God is birthing in the minds and hearts of His people, and providing encouragement and seed money for the implementation of these God-given ideas."
The Voice and Hands Contest is part of the "Me and My Household" initiative, which HCJB Global launched in February to challenge Americans to pray for their household, reach out to their communities through service projects, and pray for the unreached households in the world with the goal of strengthening faith and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

The contest's name was inspired by HCJB Global's reputation as the "Voice and Hands" of Jesus around the world. The ministry both proclaims the Gospel through its radio stations and provides medical services to the poor in impoverished countries.
For the contest, submitted ministry projects have to have a "voice" component that declares Jesus is Christ and a "hands" component that demonstrates the love of Jesus in tangible ways. From the submissions, HCJB Global will select the top 10 best project ideas and award them each a $200 prize that can be used toward their outreach or short-term mission trip.
In addition to the prize money, the ministry will also provide a flip video camera to record their experience.
Contest entries are being accepted from April 20 to May 20.
Winners will be announced June 1.
