September Prayer Request and Verse Of The Month

Prayer of the Month
This month, please pray for the guests, staff, and leadership of the Door Of Hope Mission, asking God to strengthen them and guide them.

Also, take time to read your Bible every day, and ask God to search your heart and reveal the areas of your life He wants you to change.

Verse of the Month
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23–24

A Word From Our Director, Pastor Andrew

28 Olympic Medals

Michael Phelps is considered to be one of the greatest swimmers - and greatest Olympic athletes - of all time. During his career, he won an unbelievable 28 Olympic medals, and 23 of them were gold medals! He holds the record for the most Olympic gold medals ever received by one athlete - in any sport; and nobody has even come close to matching that number of gold medals.

His coach, Bob Bowman, used unique methods when training Michael. For one thing - he sometimes, intentionally sabotaged the equipment. He poked holes in his goggles without Michael knowing, so that - as he was swimming - they would fill up with water. Sometimes, Coach Bowman had him swimming with no goggles at all - just so his body would know what to do - even if his eyes couldn't help him. He would also turn out the lights so Michael couldn't see the lines, or know when the wall was coming up. Michael learned to count the strokes before he touched the wall. The coach was teaching him to swim in the middle of all sorts of difficult situations.

Also, Michael had spent countless hours practicing his moves in his head, and thinking - not just about perfect races - but about disastrous ones, too…a torn suit, a bad start, or a turn that he had timed incorrectly. He had rehearsed how he would respond in each of these difficult situations - and in an assortment of others, too. He called it, having a “Plan B” for everything.

All of this intense training paid off - at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, in particular. As Michael Phelps stood on the starting block - the crowd saw the famous, signature flapping of his arms, as he was preparing to go into the water for the 200 meter butterfly final.

Very soon after he dove in, he knew something was wrong. Water started to fill up his goggles. He couldn't tell if they were leaking from the top or the bottom, but he kept swimming. By the second turn, he said that everything was blurry. By the third turn, he couldn't see a thing. On the final turn, he said he couldn't even see the bottom of the pool. He was swimming blind.

Then - his training kicked in. His coach had prepared him for situations exactly like this. He began to count the strokes - knowing how many strokes it would take before he was to touch the wall. From his position at the time, he knew that it would take 21 strokes.

He said he could hear the cheering of the crowd, and he didn't know if the cheering was for him or for someone else. He kept counting his strokes - 17, 18, 19, 20…and on the 21st stroke - he touched the wall.

He popped out of the water and looked at the board. He had won! Not only had he won, but - next to his name - he saw the letters “WR” - for “World Record.”

He had accomplished a world record in the dark! When the real crisis came that day in Beijing, it wasn't really a crisis. It was just another rehearsed moment! Phelps' edge wasn't just talent alone. It was thousands of consistent, repeated mornings in the pool before anyone was watching. Michael Phelps hadn't just trained for a perfect race. He had trained so that an imperfect race wouldn't stop him.

Our Day to Day Challenges
Our lives are full of unplanned challenges. If we are followers of Christ, we know that it's important to continue studying the Bible - so that we are preparing ourselves to live a life that honors God; but, even when we are diligent in our study - there's no guarantee that our lives will go smoothly. We all face problems at one time or another: health challenges, financial problems, relationship problems, and an assortment of other difficult things. No matter what kind of chaos is going on around us - we can have peace when we have faith and trust in God. Trusting Him and knowing His principles for living - keeps us steady and joyful when we have problems.

Are You Prepared for the Dark?
This story about Michael Phelps is a good reminder that PREPARATION is crucial. For followers of Christ, the preparation for our difficult situations - involves knowing God's principles for living. We can have a life of peace and joy - no matter what kind of challenges we face. It's about building the kind of faith that stays strong - even in the middle of problems.

There will be seasons when the outcome to our problems isn't clear, and we're operating on faith instead of certainty. Our steady faith and trust in God - is part of our maturing process.

If everything seems blurry to you at this time in your life, or it feels like you are in a dark place - I would like to remind you to rely on your knowledge of the Bible, and use that knowledge for reassurance that God knows all the details about your life. He is loving, forgiving, merciful, and attentive to His children.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Maybe you're in total darkness, and you don't know anything at all about the life-changing principles of the Bible. I encourage you to discipline yourself to dig into it! If you are diligent in your study, and you are receptive and obedient to God's Word, it will change your life and give you PEACE and JOY in the middle of any difficult situation you face. If you don't have problems right now - prepare yourself - like Michael Phelps prepared himself - for any possible problems ahead. We all have them at one point or another. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”(Psalm 119:105)

I hope you will pick up a Bible and be willing to really learn the things that God has for you. ”All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

The only way to ultimate joy - is to trust God and glorify Him with our lives. Remember - He is attentive to His children!…and we are THANKFUL!

August Prayer Request and Verse Of The Month

🙏 August 2026 Prayer Request 🙏

Dear Prayer Partners,

As we begin a new month, we are grateful for God's faithfulness and for each of you who continues to pray for and support the Door Of Hope Mission.

We are asking you to stand with us in prayer as we trust the Lord to meet the Mission's needs. While many families are facing difficult economic times, we know that God remains faithful, and He is always able to provide above and beyond what we can imagine.

The Door Of Hope Mission depends on the support generated through our Thrift Stores to help fund the programs that provide food, shelter, recovery, and hope to those whose lives have been impacted by homelessness, addiction, and hardship. Every purchase made in our stores helps make that ministry possible.

Please join us in praying that God will:

🙏 Draw many new shoppers to our Odessa and Midland Thrift Store locations.

🙏 Bless our stores with strong sales that will provide the resources needed to continue changing lives through Christ.

🙏 Move hearts to donate quality clothing, furniture, and household items that will bless both our customers and the Mission.

🙏 Continue to protect, strengthen, and encourage our staff, volunteers, and every person who serves alongside us.

🙏 Open new doors to share the Gospel and bring hope to those searching for a fresh start.

If you live in the Odessa or Midland area, we invite you to stop by and shop with purpose. You'll discover incredible bargains while helping provide meals, shelter, recovery programs, and the love of Jesus Christ to men and women in need.

📍 Odessa Thrift Store
1515 E. 8th St.
Odessa, TX

📍 Midland Thrift Store
1020 Andrews Highway
Midland, TX

Thank you for faithfully praying for the Door Of Hope Mission. We believe that God honors the prayers of His people, and we are trusting Him to continue providing for every need as we serve our community in His name.

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:19

May God richly bless you for your prayers, your generosity, and your faithful partnership in this ministry.

Blessings,

Pastor Andrew

VERSE OF THE MONTH:

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 (NKJV)

Philippians 4:19 is one of the Bible's greatest promises of God's faithful provision. These words were written by the Apostle Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome. Even though Paul faced hardship, uncertainty, and personal need, he confidently declared that God is completely able to provide for His children.

Notice that Paul says, "My God." This is the language of a personal relationship. God is not distant or unconcerned about the lives of His people. He is a loving Heavenly Father who knows every burden we carry, every challenge we face, and every need before we even ask Him.

The promise says God "shall supply." It does not say He might supply or could supply. It is a confident declaration of God's faithfulness. Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly proves Himself to be the One who provides. He supplied manna for Israel in the wilderness, water from a rock, food for Elijah during a famine, and ultimately provided salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Paul also says God will supply "all your need." The emphasis is on need, not necessarily every desire or wish. Our Heavenly Father knows the difference between what we want and what truly benefits us. His provision includes far more than financial blessings. He supplies wisdom when we need direction, strength when we are weary, peace in the midst of trials, grace for every day, comfort during sorrow, courage in difficult circumstances, and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Whatever God knows is necessary for us to accomplish His will, He promises to provide.

The measure of God's provision is astonishing: "according to His riches in glory." God does not give from limited earthly resources. His supply is according to His infinite riches. The Creator of heaven and earth owns everything. Psalm 50:10 reminds us that "every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills." There is no shortage in God's kingdom, and nothing we face is beyond His ability to provide for.

This promise comes "by Christ Jesus." Every spiritual blessing we receive comes because of Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, we have been reconciled to God, adopted into His family, and given access to the Father's grace. Jesus is the foundation of every promise God has made to His children.

It is also important to understand the context of this verse. In the preceding verses, Paul was thanking the believers in Philippi for generously supporting his ministry. They had sacrificially given to meet his needs, trusting that God would care for them in return. Paul assured them that the same God who had faithfully cared for him would also faithfully provide for them. This teaches us that God delights in blessing generous hearts and often uses His people as instruments of His provision for others.

Philippians 4:19 is NOT a promise that believers will never experience hardship. Paul himself endured imprisonment, hunger, persecution, and suffering. Yet through every trial, God faithfully supplied everything Paul needed to accomplish His purpose. God's provision is always sufficient, always timely, and always rooted in His perfect wisdom.

For believers today, this verse is a reminder that we never face life's challenges alone. Whether we are struggling financially, battling illness, facing uncertainty, or carrying heavy burdens, we can confidently place our trust in the Lord. His resources are limitless, His love never fails, and His promises remain true.

When circumstances seem overwhelming, remember that God's provision is not determined by the economy, your bank account, or the world's circumstances. It is determined by His unlimited riches, His unfailing faithfulness, and His perfect love.

Today, choose to trust the Lord with EVERY need in your life. Pray with confidence, walk in obedience, live generously, and rest in the assurance that God knows exactly what you need. He has never failed His people, and He never will.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing faithfulness and for the promise that You will supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Teach us to trust You more each day instead of relying on our own understanding. Help us to seek Your kingdom first, to live generously, and to rest in the confidence that You know exactly what we need. Strengthen our faith during difficult seasons, and remind us that Your grace is always sufficient. Thank You for providing our greatest need through Your Son, Jesus Christ, and for every blessing You so graciously give. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Pastor Andrew

Verse of the month: Proverbs 3:5–6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

These two verses contain one of the greatest promises and one of the greatest challenges in all of Scripture. They call every believer to live a life of complete dependence upon God instead of relying upon themselves.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart"

Trust is much more than believing God exists. It means placing your complete confidence in His character, His wisdom, His promises, and His perfect timing. Biblical trust is choosing to believe that God knows what is best, even when life doesn't make sense.
God doesn't ask us to trust Him with only the easy parts of our lives. He calls us to trust Him with all our heart—our hopes, fears, finances, relationships, health, future, and every decision we face.

Trusting God means believing:
• He is always faithful.
• He is always good.
• He is always working for His glory and the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
• He never makes mistakes.

When we place our lives into God's hands, we discover that His plans are always better than our own.

"Do not lean on your own understanding"

Our natural tendency is to depend upon our own knowledge, emotions, experiences, and opinions. While God has given us minds to think wisely, our understanding is limited.

We cannot see tomorrow.
We cannot know every consequence of today's decisions.
We often judge situations by outward appearances while God sees the heart and knows the future.

Leaning on our own understanding can lead us toward pride, worry, fear, and poor decisions. God calls us instead to seek His wisdom through His Word, through prayer, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Faith often means trusting God even when we cannot understand what He is doing.

"In all your ways acknowledge Him"

This is a call to make God the center of every area of life—not just Sunday worship or difficult moments.

Acknowledging God means:
• Seeking Him before making decisions.
• Praying about every concern.
• Reading and obeying His Word.
• Living to honor Him in our work, family, finances, friendships, and ministry.
• Giving Him thanks for every blessing.
• Asking Him for wisdom before taking action.

Nothing is too small to bring before the Lord. Every part of life matters to Him.

When God is included in every decision, our lives begin to reflect His will instead of merely our own desires.

"He will make your paths straight"

This wonderful promise does not mean life will always be easy or free from trials. Christians still face hardships, disappointments, and suffering.

Rather, God promises to direct the lives of those who trust Him.

He removes unnecessary detours.
He gives wisdom for difficult decisions.
He opens doors that no one else can open.
He closes doors that would harm us.
He leads us step by step according to His perfect will.

Even when we cannot see the entire road ahead, God already knows the destination.

His guidance is perfect because His knowledge is perfect.

Living Out These Verses

Every day we face choices that test our faith. We can either rely upon our own understanding or trust the Lord.

When fear comes—trust Him.
When finances become difficult—trust Him.
When relationships become strained—trust Him.
When the future seems uncertain—trust Him.
When prayers seem unanswered—continue to trust Him.

God has never failed those who place their confidence in Him.

The Christian life is not about knowing every answer before taking the next step. It is about faithfully following the One who already knows the end from the beginning.

Reflection

Ask yourself:
• Am I trusting God with every area of my life, or only the parts I cannot control?
• Have I been relying more on my own wisdom than God's Word?
• Am I seeking God's direction before making important decisions?
• Is Jesus truly the Lord of every area of my life?

Pray this Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to trust You with all my heart. Forgive me for the times I have depended upon my own understanding instead of seeking Your wisdom. Teach me to acknowledge You in every decision, every conversation, every opportunity, and every challenge. Guide my steps according to Your perfect will, and help me follow wherever You lead. Strengthen my faith so that even when I cannot see the path ahead, I will confidently trust the One who holds my future. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer Request – July 2026

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
We ask that you would join us in praying for God's continued provision for the Door Of Hope Mission during this season.

Over the past six months, sales at our Thrift Stores have declined. We understand that many families are facing financial challenges as the cost of food, housing, and other everyday necessities continues to rise. Even so, we know that our God is Jehovah Jireh—our Provider—and that nothing is impossible for Him.

Our Thrift Stores are the Mission's primary source of financial support. Every purchase made in our stores helps provide the resources needed to continue the ministry and maintain the many programs that serve those in need. Through your prayers and support, lives are being changed and people are experiencing the hope and love of Jesus Christ.

Please pray with us that God will:
• Bring more shoppers into both of our Thrift Store locations.
• Increase sales beyond what we have experienced in recent months.
• Continue to provide for every financial need of the Mission.
• Bless every donor, volunteer, employee, and customer who helps make this ministry possible.
• Open doors for new opportunities to reach even more people with the Gospel and the love of Christ.

If you live in the Odessa or Midland area and have never visited one of our Thrift Stores, we would love to invite you to stop by. You'll find great bargains on quality merchandise, and every purchase you make directly helps support the life-changing ministry of the Door Of Hope Mission.

Visit us at either of our locations:
Odessa Thrift Store 1515 E. 8th St., Odessa, TX

Midland Thrift Store 1020 Andrews Highway, Midland, TX

Thank you for standing with us in prayer. We believe God hears the prayers of His people, and we trust Him to provide according to His perfect will and abundant grace.

May the Lord richly bless you for your faithful prayers and continued support.

Blessings,
Pastor Andrew

Prayer of the Month
This month, when you face different trials and challenges, ask God to reveal what He wants to teach you through them. Every storm has a purpose, and every difficulty is an opportunity to grow stronger in faith and trust in Him.

Make a commitment to spend time in God’s Word each day. As you read the Bible and seek Him in prayer, God will guide your steps, strengthen your heart, and lead you through every storm you encounter.

Verse of the Month
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

No Arms – No Legs
But Full of Purpose
Nick Vujicic was born without arms and without legs, but it hasn't kept him from swimming, skydiving, surfing, snorkeling, and playing soccer. (I would encourage you to watch his videos on YouTube.)

He has one small, partial foot – with two toes - which were originally fused. An operation was performed to separate the toes so that he could use them as fingers. Nick refers to this foot as his “chicken drumstick.” This partial foot is the tool he uses to walk, jump, write, type, participate in sports, and perform daily tasks.

He travels the world telling his story, and telling people about Jesus. He was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1982, with a rare condition called “tetra-amelia syndrome,” and, I doubt that any of us can even imagine the challenges he faces every day.

His dad was a pastor, and Nick said that he learned about Jesus every day – whether it was a verse for the day, or encouragement from his family. He also said that, in 1989, he was the first disabled child to be integrated into the education system in his community, and that his mom had to go to the educational court to fight for that school experience. As a kid, he wondered if his life was valuable at all, and the first few years at school were extremely rough – but, eventually, going to school turned out to be a good experience for him.

“Especially at school – it was hard to believe that God loved me like He loved everyone else; and the question was: 'Why does a loving God allow us to go through suffering? What purpose could I possibly have? If God loves me, and I have faith in His power – why doesn't He give me a miracle?'”

Nick said, “I had no idea that God could use my broken pieces and actually make something beautiful in His timing.” In the middle of his extreme suffering, he started to understand that God could give him a fulfilling life and use him – even if it didn't involve a miracle that gave him arms and legs.

In high school, a janitor pointed out to Nick that he has an amazing ability to communicate and connect with others. This statement was an encouragement to Nick, and is part of the inspiration he needed to begin his speaking ministry.

Nick says that he read the story of the blind man in John 9, and realized that, “If God has a plan for a blindman - God's got a plan for me, too.”

He started to realize that he could either be angry about what he DIDN'T have – or he could be thankful for the life he DID have. He also said that he struggled for years to make sense of his disability, but he also remembered that Jeremiah 29:11 says that God has a plan for the future.

He attended high school in Queensland, and began to excel academically and socially. After that, he attended Greenland University where he earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a double major in accounting and financial planning.

Nick explains that God uses his rare situation to bless others, and to help them understand that God's love can bring purpose into every
difficult situation.

He says that he has learned to live with his condition, and that he is even thankful for it – because it has given him a unique opportunity to share
the Gospel.

When speaking to groups, Nick also reminds them that Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Nick says, “Just because you're a Christian - doesn't mean that you have an easy life without struggles. There's not a greater way to share the joy and strength of God – than in your weakness. It's in our weakness that God perfects His strength in us. I look weak – but people look at my face and they see that I'm strong. They think, 'Hey, wait a second. What's different about you?' It's the richness of knowing that your Father in heaven owns everything. He'll provide for you in every way, shape, and form. He knows the desires of your heart, and His grace is enough.”

Peace - Purpose - Eternal Life
To say that Nick is inspiring – is a huge understatement! One of his well-known quotes is: “More than arms and legs - I want Peace; More than arms and legs - I want Purpose; More than arms and legs - I want Eternal Life; More than arms and legs - I want Jesus.”

That's the message he shares in all sorts of venues. He says, “Whoever you are, and whatever your situation – all you need is Jesus. It's not about Nick. It's about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.”

He is a gifted speaker, and he also influences people with his books – such as Life Without Limits: (Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life,) Unstoppable, and Standing Strong. Nick has shared more than 3,500 speeches across 78 countries - touching the lives of over 10 million people in person - along with an estimated 2.8 billion people through media – per The Christian Post.

Someone has said that Nick's story isn't just a feel-good tale about overcoming adversity. It's a story about how meaning can be built into the very places where life seems to have fallen apart.

Not only has he survived the odds placed against him – he has turned survival into service – a powerful testimony of what God can do when we glorify Him with our lives. Nick got married in 2012, and he and his wife have four children – two boys and twin girls.

Nick says, “I am blessed to say that you don't need arms or legs to stand in front of the gates of hell and redirect traffic.”

Nick is correct. We all have challenges, and even though our stories may not seem as dramatic as his – each of us can use our own experiences to share the life-changing Gospel with people around us.

Sometimes, our difficult circumstances put us flat on our faces before God – forcing us to communicate with Him and depend on Him in ways we never would have done if our lives were always smooth sailing. When we trust God in the middle of our problems, it's a clear message to the people around us who have never experienced His grace, His forgiveness, His mercy, or His power.

We're thankful that God is attentive to us, and that we have the Bible as His guide for our lives.

Nick Vujicic's story is a powerful example and reminder of the reason that we were put on this earth in the first place – to glorify God; but glorifying God is only possible if we repent of our sins and follow Christ.

***Note: A movie about Nick Vujicic's life - No Limbs, No Limits - The Nick V Story will come to theaters nationwide – on September 25, 2026. It tells his story of struggle and triumph…as he has become a powerful influence for Christ – impacting people all over the world.

As we enter a new month, we humbly ask you to stand with us in prayer for the many guests here at the Mission. Each person who walks through our doors carries a unique story—struggles with addiction, brokenness, loss, and hardship. Yet in the midst of it all, there is hope.

Verse of the month:

1 John 1:5

“This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.”

This verse is a powerful declaration of who God is at His very core. When the Bible says that God is Light, it is not just describing something God possesses—it is describing His very nature. Light represents purity, truth, holiness, and life. It reveals what is hidden, exposes what is wrong, and guides us in the right direction. In contrast, darkness represents sin, deception, confusion, and separation from God.

To say that “in Him there is no darkness at all” means that God is completely and perfectly holy. There is no sin, no evil, no corruption, no hidden flaw in Him—ever. He is fully trustworthy, completely righteous, and absolutely pure. Unlike people, who can struggle with mixed motives or hidden sin, God is entirely consistent in His goodness and truth.

This verse also reminds us that the message about God is not something invented by man—it is something that has been “heard from Him” and faithfully passed on. It carries authority because it comes directly from God Himself.

But this truth is not just meant to inform us—it is meant to transform us. If God is Light, then those who follow Him are called to walk in that Light. That means living in honesty, turning away from sin, and allowing God’s truth to shine into every area of our lives. Light exposes what is hidden, so walking with God often involves conviction and change—but it also brings freedom, clarity, and peace.

When we come into God’s Light, we no longer have to live in spiritual darkness—confused, burdened, or separated. Instead, we experience forgiveness, guidance, and a restored relationship with Him. His Light shows us the way forward and gives us hope.

In summary, this verse declares:

God is perfectly holy and pure
There is no sin or evil in Him at all
He is the source of truth and life
His Light reveals, guides, and transforms us
We are called to walk in His Light and reflect it to others

Prayer Reflection:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being a God of perfect Light—pure, holy, and true. Shine Your Light into every part of my life. Expose anything that does not please You, and give me the strength to walk in truth and righteousness. Help me to reflect Your Light to others so they may see Your goodness and come to know You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
