What we Do

“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick. But I will destroy the fat and the strong and feed them in judgment.” Ezekiel 34:16               "I will seek what was lost…”  So often, as I drive along life’s roads, the highways and byways, I look and see the prostitute standing on the corner, the old guy walking in traffic with his walker, and the twenty-year-old finding himself in a life of crime and drugs. I want to stop and ask them what has transpired in their lives that brought them to this place of desperation.    With the number of people becoming addicted to meth and crack cocaine growing at a rapid rate, the threat of violence and the murder rate at its all time high, as well as the growing threat of terrorism, the seeming lack of answers for the inner city, and facing a hopeless, fatherless, and dying generation, I realize that there is much that needs to be done.

“...and bring back what was driven away”              Our vision is to be a place that speaks DESTINY; a place that offers HOPE; and a place that brings back the ones who have been driven away. At Hope City , we have the opportunity to go and seek them out. Daily we are brought into a place where we are confronted with the lost ones, the sick ones, those whom society has driven away.    Our goal is to build an inner city prayer room where the homeless, the addicted as well as the poor can find a place of hope and function within the body of Christ. Part of that is empowering them to see their role in the end time harvest of God and to be part of the church that calls out for Jesus’ return (Revelation 22:17 “The Spirit and the Bride say ‘Come’.”) The prayer room allows the addicted, the fatherless, and the hopeless a place to utilize their giftings and gives them a place to belong and a place to call their own. Prayer to a listening God is the only answer to the desperate situations we face.   Ultimately the goal of Hope City is to reach the  addicts, shelter the homeless, provide a place for rehab, a daily soup kitchen and prayer meetings all centered around the lost, the sick, and the ones who have been driven away.
