🚨 URGENT: Hurricane Melissa Response Underway 🚨

As Hurricane Melissa barrels through the Caribbean with potentially historic impact, World Hope International is praying and preparing to respond.

In partnership with Haiti Air Ambulance, MEDIC Corps, and LIFT Non-Profit Logistics, our team is ready to assess damage and deliver life-saving relief — including to Wesleyan churches and communities directly in the storm’s path.

⛪ Lives are at stake. Homes are in danger. Entire communities are bracing for impact.

Your gift today can help save lives, bring hope, and begin the rebuilding process.

What a wonderful two days spent with our brothers and sisters in Christ! It’s always great coming together as a district to worship, fellowship, and celebrate those accomplishing milestones in their ministry. And we did a little business too!

Congratulations to our licensed ministers: Van Brown, Alicia Turner, Brian Frable, Tyler Hessert, Jessica Strong, and Chris Wood. Congratulations to Revs. Bob and Chrissy Cooney on their validation of ordination in The Wesleyan Church. And congratulations to our newly ordained minister, Rev. Brent Schott. Your hard work and dedication shows and we celebrate with you all!

Thank you to NEWLIFE Church for hosting us! As always, the NEWLIFE Team did an amazing job. We want to thank Dr. Ed Love for joining us from Headquarters.
