The Story Behind Do It For Christ
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.»
