David’s Ministries Inc. was born from the belief that faith should live through action. We are preparing programs that will support families, veterans, and youth—uniting compassion with practical solutions for lasting change.
What began as a calling to serve veterans grew into a realization that true healing embraces the whole community. By feeding families, mentoring youth, and strengthening neighborhoods, we’re laying a foundation where hope can take root and dignity can be restored.
A stronger Polk County where families, veterans, and youth have dignified access to resources, relationships, and opportunities that lead to stability and purpose.
David’s Ministries was founded on one simple thought:
Creating Dedicated Assistance for Veterans and Individuals in Development and Stewardship.
We exist to be the hands and feet of Christ, serving veterans and the community through faith in action — restoring hope, unity, and faith one minute, one moment, one conversation at a time.
Veterans Bridge stands as the cornerstone of David’s Ministries — the bridge between service and restoration. This program focuses on providing mentorship, housing assistance, and transitional resources for veterans returning to civilian life. Through faith-led community support, skill development, and structured guidance, Veterans Bridge ensures every veteran has the tools and encouragement to rebuild a purposeful and stable life.
is our effort to place essential resources directly into the hands of those who need them most — from food, hygiene, and cleaning products to community events and fresh produce. Our long-term goal is to establish a network of community gardens across Bartow and Polk County, empowering neighborhoods to grow together while supplying local food pantries with fresh, homegrown produce that sustains the very people it was planted to serve.
is designed to equip adults and young adults with the skills and certifications needed to pursue living-wage careers in essential trades and technology. More than a workforce program, it serves as an extension of Harvest to Hand — fostering mentorship, guidance, and community connection. Through vocational learning, mentorship, and even sports initiatives, Hands Forward Training helps individuals not only build careers but also rediscover belonging and purpose in a world that often moves too fast to notice those left behind.
is a structured homeless-to-home initiative designed to restore stability, purpose, and independence over a 36-month journey. Participants begin by learning a trade or vocational skill while receiving wraparound mentorship and faith-based support. As they transition into consistent work, they complete financial literacy courses focused on budgeting, saving, and responsible stewardship. Throughout the program, their earnings are securely managed to ensure bills are paid and savings accumulate. Upon completion, each graduate leaves not only with stable employment, but also with a furnished home and a personal savings account — a true new beginning anchored in dignity, discipline, and hope.
is more than youth sports — it’s a mentorship movement built to develop resilience, teamwork, and confidence both on and off the field. By engaging with young people intentionally and consistently, we create space for them to open up about their struggles and discover their strengths. Through guidance, skill development, and faith-led encouragement, Rise & Run helps nurture personal growth, inspire change at home, and connect youth to opportunities such as internships and career-building experiences. Our goal is to help them not only dream of the future but prepare for it — equipped, supported, and grounded in purpose.
Note: We’re pre-operational and gathering early interest to inform launch readiness; no direct services are active yet.
