====== About HOH (The Hand of Hur, Inc.) ====== The Hand of Hur is a 501(c)(3) Not for Profit, non denominational missions organization founded in 2000 by Missionaries Jason & Norah Skipper. Hur was one of the two men that in Exodus 17 helped Moses hold up his hands so that Israel could win its war with the Amalekites. Everyone remembers Aaron, but few remember Hur, although we was just as important in winning the war. Jason & Norah named their organization "The Hand of Hur", because of every single person who is so essential in missions. Without the help, prayers and financial support of the people back home, the war could not be won. The purpose of existence for the Hand of Hur is stated in the bylaws; **Article II)** Purposes * **Section 1)** “The Hand of Hur, Inc.” is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. * **Section 2)** The Corporation is organized more specifically to further the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world, by fulfilling our purpose here on this earth and the commandments that God has given us.
