The Hands That Will Restore Humanity: A History of Christian Service and Applications for Today (English Edition)
Christians throughout history have served those in need, preserved and advanced education and trades, and actively engaged in poverty relief. In The Hands That Will Restore Humanity: A History of Christian Service and Applications for Today, we look at how the Church gained prominence by service and consider ways we can leverage those specific forms of service today.

The content covered in six digestible chapters include:
- The success of the Church under Roman rule.
- The cultural preservation by early monks and monasteries.
- Geneva’s diaconal model.
- Transforming poverty to productivity.
- Being God’s representatives to the world.
- The applicability of the poor-tithe.

“This short primer hits the ground running with immediate application that you can implement in your local fellowship, as it provides a historical backdrop and a renewed vision at how the Church should view education and the diaconate. Lord willing, this book will lead you into further study into these important and often neglected matters. I would recommend Matthew’s book to any pastor and layman seeking to better serve their own fellowship and local community.”
- Kamaron Gray, Pastor of Harvest Bible Fellowship in Pendleton, Indiana
