HIM Ministries

Hampton International Ministries, (a non-profit organization) also known as HIM Ministries, began back in 1994 when Dr. Hampton resigned his position as an executive of a large, international corporation - enrolled in Bible college and headed toward full-time ministry. Over the years, Dr. Hampton has worked extensively with many aspects of ministry such as children, youth, drug & alcohol recovery, counseling, consulting, coaching, foreign missions, radio, as well as chaplaincy work with emergency service personnel. Dr. Hampton has also provided chaplain services at four different state prisons in northern Missouri receiving the highest of awards.

Author of the life changing book, The High Places, Dr. Wade's primary focus of ministry these days is with various prisons in Missouri through preaching, teaching, and counseling.

So often when we think of crime we become rather upset because of the extreme cost of crime economically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. But it is important to consider that somewhere between 70% and 90% of these incarcerated individuals will be released and will return back to our streets. With that in mind, we all have a vested interest in supporting good programs that achieve success at changing the lives of these men and women.

The cost of crime is truly greater than we can imagine. Crime takes an incalculable effect on society in such areas as financial, psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual, and more. It costs $50,000 per year to incarcerate an individual in a maximum security prison. The national recidivism rate is somewhere between 50% and 70%. However, when we endeavor to take a bite out of crime, we all win in more ways than we can imagine. When crime is low our economic position increases and the crime prevented may be the crime against you or a loved one. This is not an issue for someone else. These are matters that directly effect us all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by our website. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact Dr. Wade. He would love to talk with you about these important ministries.

Thanks and may God Bless you and yours,
