New Hope Family,

I hope you had the opportunity to meet Sidney and Abigail Johnson this past Saturday or Sunday during their first visit with us.

They had a whirlwind visit of meeting and greeting as many New Hoper’s as possible. Sidney is the candidate to be our Family Pastor and his wife Abigail would be taking on the role of Children’s Ministry Director.

God has gifted them both with a passion for discipleship and reaching the  next generation. The focus of Sidney’s ministry would be reaching and growing young families. As families from far and wide flow into our beautiful city, we want to help become a part of the New Hope Family.

Our church is an exciting place to be as God grows His Kingdom right here in Cape Coral. Please be in prayer for the Johnsons, for our elders and for our church family as we prepare for a vote of affirmation on Sunday, August 25.

Do you remember what we talked about last weekend? (See Aug. 11 sermon.) “We > Me.” The Johnsons will bring lots of energy and creativity to our church, but they can’t do it alone. We all need to be fully engaged in reaching and growing families in our city!

How and where might God use you in loving these new folks to Christ?

Praying for you,

~Pastor David
