Opportunities

Last night, Vivian and I had the opportunity to enjoy a meal with the Gartz family here in Lakeland. What a wonderful meal and conversation!

We are so thankful that God continues to put new people in our midst with whom we can share the vision for Hope Church. Last night we shared about Hope Church, the Hope Center and HopeFest. God continually expands our vision as to what this new ministry will look like. But though we plan for the future, we are committed to growing one step at a time. Now, we are continuing to meet and assimilate new people every day until we publicly launch our worship service in the fall.

The overarching theme for the ministry is transformation: transformation of people and community. We know that God desires to make himself known to our area and world. We also know that this area is in need of a touch from the Lord. The more we pray, the more we are convinced that God is ready to move through us, and Hope Church, in new and tangible ways.

Thanks for praying for us. For those outside the area, why don’t you pray about moving to lovely central Florida to join us? And yes, I’m kidding of course…but only sorta kidding.
