Welcome to
Heartland International Ministries
It all started in the back of a pickup truck on a rainy night in Nicaragua. Fred Kornis and Tony Reyes talked about how they could help connect two world groups. One sphere was made up of poor Third World countries where the pair had been planting churches, evangelizing and ministering to people. The other was the United States -often rich and affluent. And so was born Heartland International Ministries, or H.I.M. Now we have Partner And Leader Servants (PALS) throughout the world in India, Nicaragua, Zambia, Philippines, Croatia, Pakistan, and the USA.
