Dear Friends,
As Hope Ministries plans for the holidays, we talk about who will decorate the Hope Café Christmas tree - what to include in the holiday menu - how many gifts we’ll need for our residents at Door of Faith and Hope Family Center, and for guests at our Bethel Mission facility.
These conversations often turn to what the season really means and how we will convey that meaning to those we serve—that Christmas truly is a celebration of God’s Gift of Hope, Jesus Christ.
His birth more than 2,000 years ago is the reason we can tell a mother in our Hope Family Center, “With God’s help you can make it this time.” It’s the reason a grandfather, long estranged from his family, can dare to hope he’ll see them at Christmastime. It’s the reason we feel compelled to spread His Good News to every man, woman and child who enter our doors.
Christmastime is in the air at Hope Ministries! Your partnership blesses us all year around, but during the holidays we say an extra prayer for you, thanking God for your faithfulness. May you and yours celebrate His Gift of Hope, too.
Holiday blessings,

Leon Negen
President/CEO
