“The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.”― Billy Graham

God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

Not some.
All.

Forgiveness isn’t the hard part for God.
Letting go is the hard part for us.

You don’t have to fix yourself first.
You don’t have to earn a fresh start.

God will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

But you have to let Him.

For over 28 years, Hope Outreach Ministries has been a beacon of light for families walking through some of life’s hardest seasons. Though Hope Outreach Ministries has evolved from community food distributions, clothing drives and after school programs, into helping worthy families one on one, by helping find employment, transportation and basic needs of life. Sticking with families that God brings across our path, until they are able to stand on their own. Since 1998, we’ve been committed to offering not just a handout but a hand up to those who are struggling.

Every day, there are families facing impossible choices… but together, we can make sure they don’t have to face them alone.

Hope Outreach Ministries is dedicated to serving the most vulnerable in our community providing support, encouragement, and resources that help restore dignity and rebuild lives. But we can’t do it without you.

Your support whether through giving, sharing, or praying makes a real difference. It puts food on tables, hope in hearts, and strength back into families who are trying to stand again.

Help us continue this mission. Help us be the hands and feet of hope.

Together, we can lift others up.

Because of the resurrection, we as Christians no longer have to fear death. What once seemed like the end is now the beginning of eternal life through Jesus Christ. The empty tomb is our assurance that death has been defeated and the grave has lost its victory.

Jesus didn’t just die for us He rose again, proving that there is life beyond this world for all who believe. Because He lives, we can face tomorrow with hope instead of fear.

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:55

So today, walk in peace. Live with confidence. And rest in the promise that through Christ, death is not the end it’s the doorway to eternity.

You don’t fix a struggling marriage with an affair, a drug problem with more drugs, debt with more debt. You don’t fix stupid with stupid. You don’t get out of a mess by making another one. Do what pleases God. You will never go wrong doing what is right. “Do what is right as a sacrifice to the LORD and trust the LORD” (Ps. 4:5).

It’s that time of year again! Christmas is right around the corner!

For the past 27 years, Hope Oureach Ministries, along with good people like you, have provided Christmas for hundreds of children who would not have known the joy of Christmas without the concern of others. This year, as always, we will be helping some of the most vulnerable children in our county.

For the last few years, some sponsors have been overly generous, which we commend them for, but it caused quite a dilemma for us, when some children receive an abundance of gifts and others in their families receive only a few. So this year,along with our volunteers, we will be doing the shopping in order to make things equal for everyone and we hope you understand.

Would you please consider putting some of our children on your Christmas list this year, and as always, we screen each family, verifying their needs and making sure your donation goes to a worthy family.

If you would like to sponsor a child, our deadline is December 15, and sponsorships are $175.

Changing the clothes doesn’t change the man. Outward discipline doesn’t alter what is within. New habits don’t make a new soul. That’s not to say that outward change is not good. That is to say that outward change is not enough. If one would see the kingdom, he must be born again. ~MAX
