A note of encouragement takes only a small amount of time and expense but can reap a very large harvest of HOPE in the heart of the receiver. Take time today to reach out to someone who is hurting and let them know you care!

Under the HOPE umbrella

HOPE ministry offers strength and encouragement, help and healing to women who are going through the pain of separation and divorce

OUR FOCUS — To provide a network of loving support and resources that will help women in divorce crisis.

Have you experienced the pain of a failed marriage?

Do you feel rejected and abandoned by your social circle?

Have you lost HOPE?

   Welcome to HOPE, a ministry dedicated to Healing Our Painful Experiences. Divorce has rapidly escalated in our homes and churches. No one is exempt and many times a minister's wife finds herself caught in this tragedy. Much of the time her identity is lost, her security is snatched away, and her former place of ministry no longer exists causing her to feel alienated from the Body of Christ.

   The HOPE Kit is designed to minister to those facing the destructive fallout of infidelity, betrayal, emotional abuse, and divorce. You will receive two books by authors who have experienced the pain of divorce, an inspirational bookmark, a booklet that offers helpful ways to minister to those in need and a list of additional resources in an attractive bag with the HOPE logo.

To order the Kit call 314-837-7304 ext. 412

Although our focus is on ministry at this time the HOPE Kit is beneficial to anyone who has been touched by the tragedy of divorce.


Turning Point
I stood alone upon a hilltop Full of doubt and dreaded fear
My aching heart was pounding wildly
Was there anyone to care?

The road behind was rough and rocky Hardships strewn along the way
Many times my feet had stumbled
As I traveled day by day

Oft’ I struggled with confusion Oft’ my face was stained with tears
As I prayed for understanding
And scanned the memory of past years

A road untraveled lay before me “Where does it lead, Oh Lord,” I cried
Then I heard a gentle whisper
“Follow me, I’ll be your guide.”
