Birthday Blessings

Birthday Blessings

Dial Hope has a birthday coming up. This September 10th, we turn 20 years old! For almost 20 years we’ve been sharing daily messages and sending out ripples of hope!

As we prepare for this celebration, we’d like to ask something of you – a birthday gift if you will. We’d love to know and / or see where it is that you have seen hope. In light of all that is going on in the world around us; the uncertainty, the worry, the fear, the divisiveness, we all need reminders of God’s hand at work in the world. We all need glimpses of grace and sparks of hope.

To that end, we are launching a Facebook campaign tilted, “Why I Have Hope.” To join in, please email us a picture – possibly with a short caption depicting your glimpse of hope. We will in turn post these pictures on our website and Facebook. It is our hope, that as a whole this collection will lift spirits and inspire. They will be our gift to each other and to the world around us. Email us at: info@dialhope.org

The Apostle Peter once wrote, “Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting of the hope that is within you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.”

I wonder what hope you have within you… I wonder when and how God has touched your life… I wonder what you’ve seen or experienced… I can’t wait to find out!

Let us pray: Gracious God, I thank you for 20 years of Dial Hope, for your servant Roger Kunkel who had the vision, and for the opportunity to share in this ministry. We know this world is desperate for good news and signs of hope. May each of us, in our own lives, find ways to share what we have seen, heard, and experienced of you. In Christ name. Amen.
