What is the Hope Prayer Team?

Prayer is one way we fulfill our core value that states; we honor God by trusting and obeying Him. Bringing the message of hope and healing to the homeless is not an easy task. For that reason, we believe prayer is the single most important daily discipline at Hope Ministries.  We rely heavily upon God's guidance and blessing, and we invite you to PAUSE FOR HOPE daily.

We invite you to become a member of our Hope Prayer Team as (together) we daily dedicate and surrender this ministry to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   As a member of Hope Prayer Team, you will become part of a group of Christians who commit to make every effort to pray daily for our board, staff, volunteers, donors, guests, residents and others we serve.

To become a member of Hope Prayer Team, please complete and submit the registration by clicking here.   You will receive a special membership bookmark with our theme prayer titled PAUSE FOR HOPE and periodic communication about prayer needs and praises in the months ahead. 

We encourage you to keep your membership bookmark in a place that will remind you to PAUSE FOR HOPE daily for Hope Ministries.

PAUSE FOR HOPE

I pause to pray for Hope today, for the homeless and the poor.
I pause to pray for hungry souls, who come knocking at Hope's door.
I pause to dedicate the work of staff and volunteers.

I pause to ask Your blessing Lord, as You have down through the years.
I pause to pray because I know, You're present when we fall.
I pause to glorify Your name, for the hope You give to all.  Amen.

Remember Us in Prayer When We Are in Prayer

We encourage you to remember Hope Ministries in prayer during any of our following group prayer and chapel meetings:

DAILY ONGOING PRAYER NEEDS

We thank you for remembering the following ongoing prayer needs at Hope Ministries:

• Remember in prayer the influence of "the streets" upon our residents at our Bethel Mission, Door of Faith and Hope Family Center who are trying to follow God and repair their lives. This especially affects those men who have made recent decisions to change.

• Remember in prayer substance abuse issues, which affect close to three-quarters of those who come to us for assistance. (We partner strongly with Broadlawns Medical Center and other community organizations on addiction issues, but the final outcome -- success or failure -- lies with each individual.)

• Remember in prayer the children at Hope Family Center who are God’s special gifts in need of tender care.

• Remember in prayer those from the general community who receive nutritious meals at Hope Café. Pray that their souls will be fed as well as their bodies.

• Remember in prayer our staff at our Door of Faith, Bethel Mission and Hope Family Center facilities, who give greatly of themselves each day so that those in need can find hope and healing.

• Remember in prayer our food service, maintenance and Bargain Center staff who provide many behind the scenes tasks that hold our ministry together.

• Remember in prayer those who are preparing to graduate from Hope Ministries' recovery programs to become a productive member of society.

• Remember in prayer our volunteers who (with servant hearts) invest countless hours every day with their abundant gifts, to help our shelter and recovery residents heal.

• Remember Hope Ministries’ Board of Directors, who set the direction for Hope Ministries' focus, programs and services.

• Remember our President/CEO and our Leadership Team who provide oversight of the day to day operations of Hope Ministries.
