International Student Outreach
A note from Rob Jankowski & Dave Linn
The International Student Outreach
ministry will be hosting dinners
again on Saturday, February 23.
We’ve heard such great stories from
all those who have been able to
connect and learn from these
students. Our prayer is that these
relationships would take root and
the Gospel might be presented and
begin to transform the lives of these
students.
There will be a sign-up at the Welcome Center beginning
February 3. If you have questions, please check out
NHCC’s website at www.newhopecc.net or talk with Rob
Jankowski or Dave Linn.

AROUND the WORLD
Winter Study
The Women’s Study of Isaiah
will start up on Monday nights
at 7pm on February 11 and
Wednesday mornings at 9:15
am along with J.A.M. Time, on
February 13. If you were a
part of the study in the fall,
just come to the Koinonia
Classroom again. If you would
like to join one of the groups,
please call the office at #317769-3647 and let us know your
interest so we can be sure to
have a book for you! You can
still join the study even if you
weren't able to in the fall.
Isaiah is widely regarded as the
greatest of the Old Testament
prophets, because he is first and
foremost the prophet of
redemption. This will be a good
time of study, fellowship and
digging into God’s Word.
Missions Report
Our Mission of the
Month is the Panama
Mission and our Living
Link Missionaries, Glen
& Sherrie Russell.
We have a team from
New Hope that left
February 1 to go to
Panama to work with
the Russells in leading VBS for the children in the city of
David and those up in the mountains. This is a huge
outreach of not only bringing the love of God to the
children, but to their families as well. They work with
the Obreros (Preachers trained by Glen) so that they are
able to carry on the VBS work after our team returns.
Those returning to Panama, get to renew friendships
they have developed over past trips and those new to
the trip, get to meet our welcoming and loving brothers
and sisters in Christ. This trip not only helps the church
of David and those in the mountains, it is a renewal of
spirit for everyone involved. We go the first full week in
February, as that is when the children in Panama are out
of school on break. If you would like more information,
please contact any of the following people from this
year’s trip: Bob Lamb, Diana Lamb, Mendi Selby,
Melinda Dimiceli, Callie Dale, Shawn Jones, Heather
Jones, Matt Wilson or Liz Dale. All will be willing to
share their experience.
Women’s Events
WOMEN’S TEA—All ladies along with their
daughters, granddaughters, nieces, and
friends are invited to join us here at New
Hope for an afternoon tea on Saturday,
February 16 at 2pm as we celebrate our
distinct honor of all being Daughters of
the King! If you have a special tea cup,
please bring it and tell why it is special.
Young ladies can dress in their favorite
‘dress-up’ clothes! We have plans for a fun
time together so please plan to join us!
NEW HOPE HELPERS—The New Hope Helpers
is a group of ladies who get together to have
fellowship and to serve. The ways we serve
are by planning for and providing a Mother/
Daughter Banquet, Harvest Dinner, Old
Codgers and Ladies Legacy meals. We also
serve the church families by providing funeral
dinners. We will have our first meeting on
Sunday, February 17 after 2nd service in the
Jr. High classroom. Hope to see you there!

place, but not sure where, join us
