In a world where need is everywhere, and resources often feel scarce, it’s tempting to believe that only big organizations with big budgets can make a difference.
But here’s the truth we’ve come to live by at Harmonie Hearts Community Services:
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” — James 2:17 (NIV)
We are a small, grassroots nonprofit. We don’t have buildings or billboards. We don’t yet operate in multiple cities or countries. But we do have something far greater — the power of showing up. That is our ministry. That is our mission.
When Faith Shows Up in Flesh and Blood
On May 17th, 2025, a small team of Harmonie Hearts volunteers gathered at the Regan Inn in Indianapolis, a temporary shelter housing families who are barely scraping by.
There were no journalists or TV cameras. No celebrities or hashtags. Just tables, hot food, and people who showed up — with love in their hearts and faith in their hands.
By the end of the afternoon, 178 families had received warm meals. But it wasn’t just about food. It was about seeing people. Listening. Praying. Smiling. Hugging. Loving.
One woman, holding her child, whispered, “I haven’t eaten since yesterday morning.” We didn’t need a sermon. We handed her a plate, offered a prayer, and stood beside her.
That’s the ministry of presence.
Faith Isn’t Loud — But It’s Powerful
In the Book of 1 Kings, Elijah is waiting to hear from God. There’s a powerful wind, an earthquake, a fire — but God isn’t in any of those. Then comes a gentle whisper.
That’s what Harmonie Hearts is. We are the gentle whisper. We’re not here to make noise. We’re here to respond to the quiet cries that often go unheard.
We believe that faith without compassion is hollow, and that love without action is incomplete.
We believe in a Savior who didn’t just preach on hillsides — He walked through broken streets, sat with the outcasts, and touched the untouchables.
And so, we show up — motel to motel, plate to plate, prayer to prayer — to reflect that same love.
Where Two or Three Are Gathered
Jesus said, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20)
At every outreach, whether it’s five volunteers or fifty, we carry this truth with us. The size of the team doesn’t limit the size of the impact.
Every volunteer is a vessel. Every donated meal is a sermon. Every kind word is a seed planted in broken ground. We’ve seen hardened faces soften. We’ve seen tears fall silently during prayer. We’ve seen people who felt invisible realize — “Someone came for me.”
That is the gospel in action.
A Mission Fueled by Grace, Not Wealth
We are not funded by corporations or millionaires. We don’t yet have grant money flowing in (though we’re believing for it).
What we do have is grace.
We have local believers who give what they can. We have people who pray over us.
We have volunteers who show up with nothing but a servant’s heart and a willingness to love strangers like family.
And that grace? It multiplies. Just like the fish and loaves, we’ve watched God turn “not enough” into “more than enough.”
Why Showing Up Matters Now More Than Ever
Hunger in Indianapolis is rising. Families are choosing between food and shelter. Many live in motels without access to healthy meals, working jobs that barely cover their rent.
And while big institutions debate solutions, Harmonie Hearts is out here quietly showing up.
Because we can’t wait. Because people are hungry now.
Because faith moves first, and figures it out along the way.
