Highlights Inside God Loves You... He Will Love You Forever
Good Hope will celebrate Love Sunday this year on February 14th.

We will recognize significant wedding anniversaries of couples in
our congregation on Love Sunday, but the celebration of Love Sunday is
for all of us, a reminder to love as we were first loved by God. Some of
the words you will hear during our liturgy on Love Sunday are these:
“Teach us, O God, to love our neighbors near and far, to see the world as
one in Christ. Help us to be tender to the ones we love the most and
gracious to the ones we love the least.”

Missions
Missionaries Visit: Dale & Jody Davis Family to Share Good News
A few years ago when Dale & Jody Davis
visited Good Hope, they were excited about The
Hospital of Hope, a new hospital being built in the
village of Mango in northern Togo, in western Africa.
The express purpose of this project was to reach
Muslims for Christ. They are coming to Good Hope
once again to share news about their international
mission work. On February 6th & 7th, be sure to tune
in online, or attend worship and hear their message
during Saturday 3:30pm or Sunday 10am services.
We have been supporting the Davis Family
and their missionary work with our prayers and
finances for several years. Some of you might
remember that they are the niece and nephew of
Don and Sue Meeker. Early on, in 2001, they lived in Quebec, Canada and spent 15 months learning
French in preparation for an eight year ministry in Chad, Africa. At times they were helping the Bible
School director, or facilitating a Bible translation ministry, at other times they were involved in making
decisions about a hospital.
When they were preparing to make their move to Togo, it seemed that God had been preparing the
couple; teaching them skills for a specific ministry. Through their work with the ABWE (Association of
Baptists for World Evangelism) the faithfulness of God, and 5 years of construction, the community of
Mango was forever changed. In February 2015, the Hospital of Hope, a $6 million, 43- bed surgical
hospital, opened in northern Togo, in an area known to contain the largest population of non-Christian in
the world. Patients now travel from miles away to a
facility where their medical needs are met, they are
prayed for in the name of Jesus Christ, and they
are introduced to the gospel in their own language.
After their time in Togo, the Davis family
moved to a new ministry in Bangladesh. As of
March 2020, their ministry in Bangladesh ended
and they are waiting to return to Togo! Their
focus this time will be the expansion of an existing
hospital facility in southern Togo. Many plans are
still being worked out, but they are ready to
dedicate the next several years to this project.
The Davises say they are constantly
amazed at how God has blessed their ministry over the years by providing financial support. It has been
about 10 years since they have had to actively bring financial needs to partners. They estimate a need of
about $1,000 more per month in order to be fully supported and cleared to leave again for Togo. Why the
change? Over the past 3 years, costs (especially health insurance) have steadily increased. Some of their
faithful supporters have been called home and others have needed to decrease their support due to their
own financial challenges.
Before they return to Togo, Dale and Jody have been travelling to visit with their mission
partners, like Good Hope— to share stories of how Jesus has been introduced to people through their
ministry, to encourage us, to thank us, and to ask for continued prayers and support.
Communicating Jesus: Seeking Newsletter Submissions
In an internet article, which offered tips to churches that publish newsletters, there was a striking
question posed: “Does your newsletter communicate Jesus?” Our newsletter often reports the when,
where, why and how of church happenings, but how are we doing with the communicating Jesus part? Do
you have a story to tell about how Jesus is working in your life? Can you help us communicate Jesus by
sharing your stories in our newsletter?

Love & Women - for February & Lent
Scripture Nugget
Thinking of Valentines Day, which this year falls on Love Sunday, I of the Month
thought I’d look at a few passages about women and love. Who can
think about Love without thinking of a mother’s love? Throughout
history, women have been key to passing on the faith to the next
generation. And, God often describes his love for us like that of a A Word for February

be live-streamed on our website media page and our YouTube channel.
On the Wednesdays following Ash Wednesday when I will use my
daily devotion time for a short service that will include keyboard music
