Dear friends and partners:
One Hope Outreach Ministry would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your love, prayers, and support of this ministry as we reach out in various areas of ministry. We have produced nearly 400 YouTube and Facebook videos. Our “Voice of Hope” radio and podcast is aired weekly. One Hope continues to drill wells in India and give to the support of an orphan feeding program there. Other outreaches include missionary support in Nepal and Eldoret, Kenya. In addition to our weekly Sunday morning meetings, prayer time is scheduled once a week. The first Friday of each month is designated as “The Gathering Place of Hope” for a greater community participation in all that God is doing.
God’s plan for His church is to be triumphant in every season and all times. Jesus said in Matthew 16:18 (KJV)--- I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The church (Christianity) has always been a restraining force against evil perpetrated by the devil.
Jesus Christ is calling every Christian to stand true to the writ of Holy scriptures and live a life consecrated to Him. The believer is to be committed to the teachings of the Bible regardless of what is happening around us.
When the disciples of Jesus asked; when will the end of the age come and what will be the signs, Jesus began by saying, “take heed that no man deceive you,” (Matthew 24:4 KJV).
There are many voices vying for our attention. Those voices are crying out to deceive all who will believe the perpetuation of their moral rottenness. Not only do the voices vie for attention but demand no resistance to their moral depravity.
The apostle Paul, in his letter to the church at Rome describes a people that have rejected God and desired that He have no governess in their life at all. That people, according to scripture, (Romans 1:16-32 KJV), was given up to have it their way in their own life. The result was depravity, moral corruption, and despicable displays of wickedness, unthinkable to a reasonable and morally grounded society.
Today, more than any time in our recent past, wickedness is openly displayed without the fear of God or His judgment. There are many evil statements, phrases, narratives, philosophies, which are designed to deceive and lead a society away from a well-worn path of moral stability. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is to take heed that no man deceive her by philosophy, or false teachings. The acceptance of the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the clear teachings of the Bible will keep any person, society or nation on a sure footing that will endure for the long haul.
There is a clarion call for every believer to come out from among the world system and be separated unto God. To live life in the power of His Spirit and be committed to His service.
What about you? Have you committed yourself to the only true God; to serve and trust Him for your very existence? After all, the church is the overcoming ones, because, once again, Jesus said,” --- I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
