What is the Edwin L. Hodges Ministries?
Edwin L. Hodges Ministries (ELHM) is a Christian

The Ministries main objective is to help those who have been born again to mature
in their faith through the use of Christian literature. The production of Bible
study materials, and providing lending libraries, support that goal.
At present, ELHM is operated almost entirely by volunteers, nearly 25 of which
work on a weekly basis, at the home office and warehouse.
For 3 1/2 years the office operated out of a small building on the back of the
Hodges residential lot and used self-storage units to meet the warehouse needs.
In May of 1998 the ministry moved to its present location. In May of 2002, God
enabled us to double our warehouse space to approximately 11,000 square feet.
