HOPE Ready for Special Delivery
Over the last several years, the HOPE program has challenged and
inspired our young adults in several ways....In San Diego they were
invited to a "Fiesta" to Celebrate their Faith and their
Relationship with God...At Silver Bay they were transformed into
"Players" and made ready to join God's Team...Last year in
Greencastle, our HOPE'ers were empowered to "keep their spiritual
fires burning" even when they came down from the mountaintop
experience of HOPE, and now in 2001 they are ready to be sent
"Special Delivery" by God out into the World to make a difference.
The foundation of the 2001 HOPE Program can be
found in Scripture in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 6 verse 8:
"Then I heard the Lord saying, "Whom shall I
send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send Me!"
Over the course of our 4 days together, the
HOPE'ers will be looking at how we get started in our role of
service, what talents we have to serve with, how to make that
service genuine, where we can serve (with a little mission
experience thrown in), and most importantly, how we stay in contact
with the "Great Postmaster" (God) and make sure that we are doing
HIS work and are ready to say "SEND ME!!!" when called upon. In
addition to all this serious stuff, HOPE 2001 will again `rock the
house' with Praise and Worship led by Tim Price and the Harvest
Ministry Team.
If you know of a College-Aged young person who
can join us June 23 - 27th 2001 at Michigan State make sure to let
Karen Frazzell in the NA Office know so that they can "GET MAIL"
from HOPE. If you have questions, you may also contact any member of
the HOPE Leadership Team.
Peace & Prayers,
Greg Gelzinnis , HOPE Co-Director
Late Breaking NEWS....The HOPE Leadership Team is
also happy to announce that Joanne Simpson will be joining Greg as
Co-Director for a 2 year Term beginning with the 2002 Gonzaga
Conference.....Susan Stumpf will be finishing her term at Michigan
State......A HUGE HOPE "Thank You" to Susan for her AWESOME
service!
