We are grateful for your continued prayerful and financial support to Great Hope Christian Fellowship (GHCF) and the outreach of Piercing the Darkness Ministries (PDM). We serve a God full of mercy and wisdom and we ask that He shower that and His many blessings back upon you.

Pastor Linda's second book, DMR-5, The Next Generation, has been published. We encourage you to purchase your copy and delve into this unique Christian fiction. It is now available at Xulon Press, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble in paperback and Nook or Kindle format. View the awesome trailer of DMR-5, The Next Generation. Check out the many comments from those who have been deeply touched by the spiritual insights and story line of DMR-5. Comments can be found on the Amazon book site.

Even thought we are a small portion in the vineyard of the Lord, we have much to do. We often serve those who may not "fit in", so to speak, in a larger congregation and your support allows us to continue that labor of love. Many are hurting because of the poor life decisions they have made, but they are still valuable souls to our loving and merciful God. Currently, five of our attenders are incarcerated (one just released until court date). Our hands will stay at the plow in His field and we cherish your prayers in that regard.

We continue to assist (with gift cards for the women and their newborns) the Friends of the Unborn ministry which provides housing and training for homeless pregnant women. We also sporadically help the Francis House (with canned goods collections), which provides meals for the homeless who suffer with HIV/AIDS. Your support helps us help them.

We love and cherish each one of you and humbly thank you for your participation with us in this portion of His vineyard. Well done good and faithful servants.
