Greetings from Hope Ministry,
Individuals served: 1260
As I sit down and think about what to write, it hits me, Wow! it is November 2016, four weeks till Thanksgiving! Can I just stop and say what I am thankful for? My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! You see without Jesus I am a lost sinner, but because of him I am a saved sinner. Because of Him I get to serve at h.o.p.e. Ministry. I can’t put in words how thankful I am for Jesus. Thanksgiving reminds me that after we have spent time with our families and friends, the Toy Store opens in one week on December 5th. We need your help. We have about 500 children left that need to be sponsored. It only takes $60 to sponsor a child. I am reminded of Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. The way God does this is through His people. Please pray about how you can be part of the Toy Store Ministry. Your monetary gifts can be mailed to: 514 Elkin Hwy N.Wilkesboro, NC 28659
