March 31st I decide to resurrect the blog. Since I last posted, a lot has happened again. We had the baptism of one of our most vibrant adults, She is so excited that she found God and found help because since she found God she had one of the most trying tests ever, she became homeless. Through oblation help she is able to become stable again. She has assistance, and she is in a new studio apartment she can afford, and she can ride the bus to the church for only 50 cents.
Besides this, I went to seminary in January, and it has been tough, but I am still working through it. Please Pray for me on this. (Jacob)
The Community Technology Center (Our Non-Profit partner) just upgraded 12 computers, got a new server, and was donated a copy machine!! This will help us so much with our ministry.
Rachel Blakesley and Troy Farrar have been working diligently on our new believers class, and things are going so well that we are already through the material. They used the of water and spirit resources out of the missionary tool kit, the aliyah scripture helps from 163, they used the priesthood manual and the new members manual. (and Rachel and Troy's Learning experience in the religion minors at Graceland and Troy's experience working at Kirtland and Nauvoo historic sites. This has all come together to be a stellar class. We would appreciate your support in praying for baptisms. We had 12 complete the class, and they need to come to a realization that they are committed to Jesus Christ on their own. So they need your prayers. Pray for them, pray for their relationship with God.
Also Jeff and I will be posting a website soon. So look on here for the updates.
Until then,
May Peace be with you- The Detroit Hope Team
