The Heroes of New Hope
“A hero is a person that puts himself at risk for the benefit of others.”
Oliver North
Mr. North is describing our wonderful military servants through out the world! They are our heroes!
I also would like to think of our New Hope servants as these kinds of heroes! They are so willing to give up and sacrifice their lives for the sake of presenting the gospel of Jesus in such a way that turns non Christians into converts, converts into disciples and disciples into mature, fruitful leaders who will go into all the world to reach others for Christ!
Many visiting pastors and leaders have asked me, “Describe your church…the people, the staff and volunteers…”
Here’s what I say are the characteristics of our New Hope Heroes: (coming…part 2 and 3 and 4… - It will take volumes to describe our valuable people!)
1. A genuine love for God is alive and living through our servants.
2. A desire to please the Lord and not man. They are not recognition or applause seekers.
3. The “yes hearted willingness” to fulfill our Mission Statement…because everything we are and do is connected to a soul.
4. A gracious kindness that is exemplified through words and deeds.
Romans 5 The Message
7 We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. 8 But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.
