Hurricane Helene Response
As a response to the devastation from Hurricane Helene, the community of Hope Church desires to express the love of Christ in a small way for those greatly affected. Our global crisis fund is now open to receive financial gifts to be used through local partners on the ground to give aid "in the name of Jesus" to those most affected.
For anyone interested in serving in person, we invite you to sign up individually through Samaritan’s Purse. We are exploring the possibility of sending a team from HOPE in the weeks to come but for now encourage you towards our friends at Samaritan’s Purse who are based in Western NC and are doing great work.
PRAYER FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
A prayer for those suffering around the world:
Heavenly Father, oh, how our heart hurts for those who have suffered great loss and great pain.
Father of mercy, would you be near those who are brokenhearted.
Jesus Christ, would you strengthen your church with peace and comfort to offer those who are in despair.
Lord, through your Holy Spirit, would you guide us and connect us with your global church to offer mercy and help in this time of need in order that those suffering may be comforted, those in despair may be reminded of your great love for them, and that Jesus might be glorified.
Amen.
