a small slice of hope.
I just received this email from Mary Held. Mary is my administrative assistant, and she’s also one of our ministry team leaders here at Hope Church.
“Hi pastor, I was keying in attendance from last night’s Membership class and I came across Doris N. who submitted a prayer request for her sister with stage 4 cancer. So I stopped and prayed, and then I gave her a call. When she answered the phone she told me that she had just arrived back home from visiting her sister in Carrollton. She said she couldn’t believe I called and was blown away because just this morning she was thinking to herself that she wished she had met someone well enough at church to go with her to visit her sister and pray…but she felt like she didn’t know anyone well enough yet. So I offered to go with her on next Monday…Pastor, she was so amazed and happy about my call and offer. She said she didn’t recognize the number and that she usually doesn’t answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, but “something told her to answer.” lol
Also, Doris is very excited about being a part of Hope Church. She came for LOVE STORY pt.2 and she’s been coming back every since, including the past 2 Wednesday nights for our Growth Track / Membership classes. She said she’s been in church for 50 years and she’s never been anywhere where God’s word is taught so plainly, and where the church actually explains what it means to be a Christian.
She said she can’t wait for Sunday!“
Doris, I’m so glad that God led you to be a part of this brand new movement of Hope and I’m honored that we’re able to be there for you and your sister. To God be the glory.
