Community Updates

The weekly outreach of prayerwalking Walmart and encouraging others as God leads will continue next Saturday, April 11th.

Our precious Nell Sellstrom passed from this life into eternity on Wednesday, March 25, 2015. A dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend, she will be terribly missed by all of our Hope community and many others. A memorial service will be held at Hope Chapel Saturday, April 11th, at 3:00 p.m., in gratitude to the Lord for Nell’s beautiful soul and celebration of a life well lived.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that contributions be made to Hope Chapel’s Missions Fund.

We will not meet during Spring Break. We will continue with regular “Walmarting” on Saturday nights starting Saturday, March 28th.

Want to come prayer walk Walmart with us? We pray as we walk around the store. If we feel led, we encourage and pray with fellow shoppers. It is great fun and very faith building. Meet at the Lighthouse Saturdays at 8:15PM. Contact Matt Ryniker for details.

You can still join in the daily prayers with believers around the world during 40 Days to Palm Sunday. As our own Steve Hawthorne says, “Our hope for you is that you will pray boldly, simply and persistently for God to fulfill all that He has promised.” Get the app for your phone here since the booklets are sold out.

Today the Muslim world is in the midst of the greatest conflict it has ever experienced. Within the last ten years significant numbers of Muslims have been reached for Jesus Christ. International news continually highlights the latest wars within the Muslim world but the spiritual battle within the religion itself is the ultimate battle.

The seminar is on Saturday, April 18th at 9:00 a.m.-noon followed by lunch and an afternoon outreach until 3:00 p.m. with Tom Doyle. RSVP details will come later.

Reach out where you are here in Austin
You don’t have to travel to the Middle East to share Jesus with a Muslim. 4-7 million Muslims are estimated to live in America currently. Some are U.S. born citizens; others have come to the U.S. to experience peace and to seek a better life. Because of God’s sovereign love for these dear souls you may be blessed to have an individual or a family live near you who is a Muslim immigrant or a refugee. Our patient Lord whose will it is that no one should perish may be giving you the amazing opportunity to help them know what it means to have eternal life and peace with God through Jesus Christ.
