Beach Night & The Mix XL Recap

 

The summer keeps on rolling!

We had a wonderful time at our first The Mix XL last Wednesday and Beach Night on Friday!

New Hope exists to glorify God and make disciples by living out the gospel together. As a leader, you are constantly presented with opportunities for discipleship, having the chance to model the love of Christ in all of your interactions with others. The Global Leadership Summit provides practical and critical tools to help you develop your leadership skills and knowledge with other like-minded individuals who are striving to do the same. We will be a host of The Global Leadership Summit on August 6–7.

ERIC & ELENA CAMPBELL

Eric serves with Pioneers USA ( a mission sending organization) that is based in Orlando. This summer, Eric's team has been clarifying vision, goals, and roles. It appears that he will serve as Lead Field Mobilization Coach, helping oversee missionary training, supporting missionaries preparing for Home Assignment, and coaching missionaries in team recruitment. As part of this role, he will also be completing International Coaching Federation-approved training to further develop his coaching skills and strengthen the mobilization programs. All of this means strengthened missionaries serving in greater capacity for God’s kingdom!

 

Eric and Elena with their two children have been enjoying extra community outreach with their neighbors this summer. They've built a friendship with a local mom and her family, supported them through some financial hardships, and shared the gospel with them. The mom has even attended church with the Campbells several times. Please pray for Lulu and her sons, Kelvin, Kahlil, and Daniel, that they would continue to experience God's love and truth.
