Operation Shoebox

We are collecting toys, school supplies, toiletries, etc. for children/teenagers in Guatemala and you can be a part of it. This will be an awesome blessing for the children/teenagers this Christmas holiday. Suggestions include:

Action Figures
Baby Toys, Clothes, etc.
Brush & Comb Sets
Candy (Hard)
Cars, Trucks, and Airplanes
Coloring Books & Crayons
Legos
Marbles
Teddy Bears & Dolls
Teenage Items
Purses & Wallets
Yo-yo's
Watches
Winter Hats & Gloves

You can drop off these unwrapped gifts in any of the boxes around the church marked "Operation Shoebox". Remember, gifts must be able to fit in a shoe box. Financial donations can be made out to New Hope Ministries with "ShoeBox" written in the memo line. Every child/teenager that receives a shoe box will also hear the Gospel and have the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. We have an opportunity to make a temporal and eternal impact on their lives. Thank you for your contribution!

Return From Guatemala

The mission trip to Guatemala was sooo successful! In 4 days the drama was performed in 20 schools. There was an evening service each night. Approximately, 1300 (800 children/teenagers and 500 adults) souls were snatched from the kingdom of darkness and brought into the Kingdom of Light. A few hundred rededicated their lives to the Lord and many received healing. God used the teenagers in tremendous ways that many of them did not think they could be used.

Let's allow the same power of God that moved in Guatemala to move in our community in Naples. Look for opportunity for the Lord to use YOU in an awesome way.

Vacation Bible School

VBS for the children takes place July 24-27. Do you find yourself with a lot of free time on your hands this summer? Do you love playing with kids? Do you find yourself struggling with boredom? Come hang out with kids! We could really use your help with VBS this year. Starting Monday, July 9-13 we will decorate and prepare all the rooms. If you can help with this either one or more days that would be great. If you can help during VBS one or more days, that would be great too. Sign up at In the O or email us.

The Truth Project

The Truth Project experience kicks off at the Sunday night service on September 9 at 6:00 PM and continues for 12 Sundays straight. What is truth? What is the purpose and meaning of life? What is real? Who is man? Who is God? What is evil? Is our culture filled with lies? What is history? These and many other questions you have will be answered throughout this experience. Email us to sign up or sign up at In the O on Wednesday nights.

While in Guatemala we will meet up with another group and together we will learn a drama that we will take into the schools. After we present the drama in each school one of the interpreters will give the message of salvation and we will pray and hang out with the students and encourage them in the things of God. We will also be involved in evening services. The campaign is 3 days long and in the past thousands have come to know the Lord. Pray the Lord's work gets done the way He desires, pray for our travel, our health and safety, for God to speak to us as a group and individually, and that we come back changed to do God's work greater in Naples, FL.
