Bible Study

Our Story
HEAL Ministries began when founder Tina Weir, moved by the struggles of abandoned women and children she met abroad, felt called to create lasting change. What started as a mission-sending effort grew into a focused ministry in Jinja, Uganda, where the James Place now empowers families through Christ-centered programs in sustainability, family preservation, and mentorship. Today, her legacy continues as the HEAL team serves vulnerable women and children, offering hope, resources, and community that transform lives.
What We Believe
We want to give women and children a safe environment where they can find true hope and unconditional love in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our hope is that every woman will strengthen her relationship with Jesus and to create relationships with other women built on trust and love. Teaching relationally creates an environment for different tribes to become interdependent on one another, loving one another as we are all called to do.
