What's new at Hope.
Our Good Friday service is this Friday, March 25th at 7:00 p.m. and includes music and meditations on the seven sayings of Jesus at His crucifixion. It is always a very beautiful and poignant time.
We regret that the deadline has now passed to reserve child care.
Walter Heidenreich read about him here is visiting the Austin area from his homeland, Germany. He has spoken at Hope Chapel when he has visited in the past. He’s speaking at the Sunday Night Church at 5:30 p.m. (Easter Sunday)
He and his wife, Irene, lead FCJG (Free Christian Youth Community) in Lüdenscheid. What once started with a drug rehab center has grown into a worldwide ministry in the past three decades. including HELP International, the international ministry branch.
Walter had a powerful encounter with God while he was still a drug addict with no Christians around, and God radically changed his life. Since this encounter Walter has been walking with God, fervently burning for Jesus, revival, and missions.
We wanted to make sure those of you who know him (or wanted to meet from him) were aware of this opportunity to interact with him this coming Sunday night

As one of the twenty-six official water-stop charities for the Austin Marathon, we’ve been invited to use their online giving platform for fundraising. Every dollar raised is matched by the Moody Foundation up to $10,000!
On Memorial Day weekend in 2015, our children’s wing received massive flood damage so we’re raising money for the repairs. Will you help us raise funds to restore our classrooms to beautiful places of learning and play? Give here to get matching funds. You can also donate through Hope Chapel by marking the funds for the Children’s Wing Repair.
Ultimate Trainers Cosmo & Suzi Raines will put the Heroes of Hope (staff members: Geno Hildebrandt, Matt Ryniker, Hala Tompkins, & Mary Jo Rekedal) through the most ridiculous and entertaining workout of their lives in front of a live audience (and we’ll post a recording on social media)! NOT to be missed!
Invite your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, dog-sitters, and strangers off the street to donate. Share it on your social media networks. Shout it from the rooftops!
God has a “world-sized” role for every Christian in His global purpose. It isn’t a class about missions, but a course on how every believer can be intimately woven into the story of God using His people to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth. From Genesis to the prophets, Jesus Christ to the early church, and Constantine to today, you will see how God has been moving, how the global Church has responded, and what the greatest needs in world evangelization remain today.
Perspectives is a 15 week course designed around four vantage points or “perspectives” — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic highlighting different aspects of God’s global purpose.
The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God’s relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.
The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very “do-able” task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.
The Perspectives Reader is a collection of the best articles by a wide variety of Biblical scholars, historians, missiologists, and practicioners to usher students through the study of God’s mission and character through the Bible, Christian history, culture, and the task remaining in world evangelization. Class activities and our unique instructor format bring the class alive to explore what God is doing in the world today.
