New Hope Mission Society Update
November 1, 2008
A Debt Worthy of Retiring: You Are Invited to Help The New Hope Mission Society and its major partner, Faith Lutheran Church, to join with other supporting congregations and individuals to come to the aid of our ministry to the Muslims in India led by Rev. K.K. Alavi. The Bisharah Center has been renovated and made ready for expanding this evangelical ministry. With this work completed, the center will be a haven for those exploring the Christian faith, giving them a safe place to come and grow in their beginning relationship with Jesus Christ. It will offer a wonderful place of hospitality for those in India and for those coming there from far away places, like here. It will also foster developing ministries of caring to the community in which it is located.
The critical need, however, is that a major loan of approximately $83,000 has a balloon payment due before year’s end. Currently interest on this debt is $750.00 per month. By eliminating this debt, or greatly reducing it, this vital ministry will become much more effective and be an even better steward of our ongoing support.
If you can help with this effort, you are asked to give whatever you can well before year’s end so that our collective efforts can be sent in time to retire, or greatly reduce, this indebtedness. Make any checks payable to “New Hope Mission Society” and send or return them to the church office. Working with our other partners, we can do what needs to be done.
We are looking forward to a visit from Rev. K.K. Alavi later this fall to give us, and others, an update on the ministry he leads on our behalf.
