Worth the Sacrifice



When I became a pastor, I dreamed of serving a church that wanted to change the world.

I am.

New Hope has been challenged to swap our normal food for five days to experience in a small way what the orphans of Africa experience. The first week's presentation featured John Anderson's frank testimony of how God had changed his heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. Sunday's testimony was from Missy Hickman who described what God had done in the life of their family through their adopted son, Levi, who was born in Liberia.

This summer, New Hope is kicking the devil in the teeth.

*Child2Child - gathering funds for other children's needs around the world
*Community Garden - raising vegetables to help the poor
*Mission Trip to Kentucky - repairing homes and teaching children about Jesus
*Soles4Souls - our older girls (Niara) are asking the church to leave worship barefoot and give their shoes to the poor
*Worth the Sacrifice - eating as the orphans eat and giving the money we save to them

That takes care of June :)
