At the heart of the Gospel is “Good News to the Poor”.
God’s heart is pleased and revealed when His people take action that brings the Good News to the poor. New Hope is an opportunity for God’s people to display His heart to the underserved through medical care.
‘
Who is my neighbor?’ is the question which introduces the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Our neighbors are those living in poverty, and people who cannot afford health insurance. South King County has the highest percentage of people without medical insurance in the state, and the communities of Tukwila and SeaTac contain the highest percentage of medically uninsured of all –
nearly 30%. This figure not only includes the unemployed, but individuals and families who are working one, two, or even more jobs - simply trying to make ends meet.
New Hope has been established to demonstrate the compassion and mercy of Jesus Christ to people who rarely experience it. We exist to authentically express the love of Christ to those who live at the margins of society.
In John 5:36 we read; “For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about Me that the Father has sent Me.” The works of Jesus bear witness about Him. They bear witness of His person, His message, and His sacrifice.
The Church is called to continue those works as we go out and proclaim the ‘Good News’ to all people.
We believe that the Lord has called His people to come together as One and go out and minister to the community with the love, compassion and power that only He can supply. New Hope will minister to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of its clients.
Heal the sick ... and say to them; ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you’
