50/50 Campaign Redux, and Other News

[Kyuboem Lee]

Dear Friends of G.Hope,

This week, members of G.Hope will be sending out letters to their family and friends in our renewed effort at 50/50 Campaign (50 friends giving $50 per month towards Germantown Hope's ministry). We would very much appreciate your prayers for this effort as letters go out, conversations get started, and prayers are prayed. (You can read the letter here: http://bit.ly/oYiRxi ) 

Would you prayerfully consider being a part of our promotional efforts? Perhaps you know people that would love the opportunity to support our ministry. If you are interested in sending out a fund-raising letter (similar to the one that G.Hope members are sending) to your own contacts, but as a Friend of G.Hope, please get in touch with me, and I will share an appropriately worded letter with you. 

And would you prayerfully consider being one of the 50? Some of you have committed to giving as a part of the 50/50 Campaign. And many of you have reached out to me and expressed that you are praying for us. Your companionship has meant so much to us. May the Lord encourage you in your walk as you have encouraged us.

In other news, Sis, one of our dear members, led Play Street on Tacoma Street (where we have been conducting street camps in the summers past) for all of this past summer, with help from neighbors and other church members. And recently, she was officially appointed the Block Captain of Tacoma Street! (Though she'd been one unofficially before.) The Lord has given her grace to overcome many obstacles and brought her to this place of leadership in his kingdom, and we are grateful to what the Lord can do in our lives. Recently, I saw her leading a big group of children to church on Sunday, and I was so thankful to the Lord who has formed her into a shepherd of young souls.

On a personal front, I have been on an active full-time job search for a few months now. (I shared with you before about how I was going more fully bi-vocational.) It isn't an easy environment for a job search; there are others in the church who are in a similar situation. We would appreciate your prayers as we press on--for perseverance, hope, and faith. 

Thank you, friends, for walking with us. May the Lord supply you too with the hope that overflows from his gospel today.

Shalom,

Kyuboem Lee
