FamCon was a huge success!

What an amazing few days of faith, fun, and fellowship! This year, 55 children joined us for FamCon, filling our campus with laughter, excitement, and a growing love for Jesus.

Kids learned about God's love through engaging Bible lessons, worship, games, crafts, and hands-on activities. They built new friendships, strengthened their faith, and discovered more about what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

None of this would have been possible without our wonderful volunteers, staff, and families who gave their time, energy, and hearts to make this FamCon so special. Thank you for helping create an environment where children could learn, grow, and experience the love of Christ.

We are grateful for a fantastic couple of days and are excited to see how God continues to work through the seeds that were planted!

"Let the little children come to me..." — Matthew 19:14

There is currently a special opportunity where if you register for the Summit before June 19, you can bring someone who has never attended before and receive their ticket half off.

We are doing a "baby bottles" drive for Verity during the month of June. You can take a bottle from the Lobby at New Hope and fill it with cash, a check, or scan the included QR code to make a gift online. Your partnership in this way fuels the mission to uphold the sanctity of human life by providing services that encourage and equip men and women to choose life for their baby. You can find out more about Verity by visiting the Mission Table or emailing Rachel Frey at rachel@newhopefortmyers.org.

Across the world today, there are still communities with little or no access to the gospel, scripture in their heart language, or long-term Christian witness. Many of these communities are in the country of Tajikistan and other regions that are in what is called the “10/40 Window”, which is a geographical region between 10 degrees and 40 degrees north latitude, stretching from North Africa across the Middle East to East Asia. In Christian missions, it represents the area with the highest concentration of unreached people groups and the least access to the Christian gospel.

New Hope’s Presbytery has a global missions arm called World Outreach that seeks to serve EPC churches like ours by empowering Spirit-filled witnesses to make disciples and plant reproducing churches among those with least access to the gospel in the 10/40 Window. This reflects the heart of Christ’s mission: to undo the curse of sin and bring salvation, hope, and restoration to the world.

Let’s join together in praying for:

• The ongoing ministry of EPC World Outreach as workers faithfully serve among unreached peoples, strengthen local churches, equip leaders, and respond to crises around the world.

• Endurance and encouragement for our missionaries, open doors for the gospel, wisdom in stewarding resources, and lives to be transformed through Christ.
