As we remember our “day of infamy” and the World Trade Center attacks that occurred on 9-11-01, may we reflect on the greatness of God and not just the evil of mankind! The broken Adam nature is full of disastrous ways which will manifest with heinous acts such as those we witnessed on that fateful day. Our counteraction to all of that is to maintain an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and be salt and light in an often tasteless and dark world. That we can do and with diligence!

We now would like to thank you again for your continued prayerful and financial support to Great Hope Christian Fellowship (GHCF) and the GHCF outreach of Piercing the Darkness Ministries (PDM). We serve a God full of mercy and wisdom and we ask that He shower that back upon you.

Your prayers are also valued for Pastor Linda’s research and book writing completion, as well as the many teaching, speaking and military event engagements that are frequently requested.

Even though 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. Our hands will stay at the plow in His field and we cherish your prayers in that regard.
