Manuel & Serena Garcia

Hands of Jesus Ministries was birthed from a shared vision placed on our hearts long before we ever met. Recently married, we first connected at church and quickly realized that God had woven the same calling into both of our lives to love people deeply and to build the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Out of that unity, passion, and obedience, this ministry was born.

Manuel Garcia, Pastor and President of Hands of Jesus Ministries, knows firsthand what it’s like to walk through the darkness of the streets lost, broken, searching. But God stepped in. God redeemed, restored, and completely transformed his life. Now Manuel carries a burning desire to reach the hurting, the forgotten, and the overlooked, reminding them that no one is too far for the love of Jesus.

Serena Garcia grew up in church and ministry, but that didn’t make life easy. She faced her own battles depression and struggles that tried to silence her purpose. But the Lord lifted her out, renewed her identity, and healed her heart. Her testimony is one of God’s faithfulness, power, and gentle restoration.

Together, we stand as living proof that God still saves, still heals, still calls, and still restores. As a couple, we give Him all the glory for mending our hearts, shaping our marriage, and transforming our lives.

Hands of Jesus Ministries exists for one reason:
To love people like Jesus, share the gospel boldly, and be His hands and feet wherever He leads.

We’re here to serve, to reach the lost, to lift the broken, and to remind every person that they are known, seen, and deeply loved by God.
