Urgent Need for Prayer/Funding - New Hope Southern Baptist Fellowship in Madison, WV
Click here for video of this need... added 9/30/11
For the past 5 years, New Hope Southern Baptist
Fellowship, a new church start in Madison, WV
has been meeting in a rented storefront
building. The pastor and church planter,
John Harden is bi-vocational, working as an
electrician in the local coalmines. The
building were they are they are currently
meeting is being sold and they need to find
other accommodations or purchase the existing
property, which has limited parking.
Just
down the street are two adjacent buildings and a
paved parking lot with 22 parking spaces that
are available to New Hope for $45,000. Until
September 1, one of the buildings was occupied
by a Pentecostal church that closed. Since
the property is valued at a much higher price,
this price is available to New Hope only and for
a limited time. Please pray with us that
God will provide the needed funding. The
current membership has very limited resources.
Funds as needed to help them make a sizeable
down payment and/or to purchase the property.
Boone County is 91.1% unchurched/no-evangelical.
The poverty level is close to 25%. Madison
is the county seat and the new property is in
sight of the county court house. Your
prayers and support are needed for this critical
work. For more information, please contact
arm@arministry.org.
Urgent Need -

Ocoee
Outreach & Bradley Baptist Association - Bradly
County, TN
On April 27, 2011 six
tornados struck Bradley County destroying 500
homes and causing damages to more than 1,000
home. The ministry opportunities to those who
have suffered and continue to suffer are many.
We are now in the rebuild process and are
looking for skilled rebuild teams to come to
Cleveland between this September and into the
spring for however long you are able to come. We
are looking for teams that can bring some
skilled volunteers in construction and have a
heart for sharing Christ with others. We
will take care of food expenses, construction
materials and place you in one of our local
churches for lodging (bring your own bedding).
All you will need to do is take care of the
costs of getting here and back home. Join us in
sharing Christ with others and rebuilding homes
that were destroyed or heavily damaged by the
tornados. Please note… this will not be the same
kind of structure we do with Ocoee Outreach
during the summer.
Contact us soon if you
can mobilize a team for rebuild.
