Kelli and the NH Family

No matter who you are, you have a desire to belong. One of the greatest gifts of being apart of New Hope Community Church in Ashland is belonging to a family.

Last fall, just weeks after our opening, I got to meet Kelli Bowles. I asked Nicole, our office manager, for a volunteer to film. Before filming this video I knew nothing of Kelli besides she served as a greeter at NH-Ashland. So this was my first impression of Kelli...



Wow! We are so blessed to have Kelli apart of the New Hope Family. Several weeks ago I got a message from Nicole that Kelli was submitted to the Akron's Children's Hospital.

At Church a few weeks ago Nicole informed me that Kelli wanted a NH T-Shirt. So we prayed for Kelli as well as encouraged our people to go sign the T-shirt. It was so cool to see that there was a line 5-10 people deep to sign her shirt!

This past week, Nicole and some of the NH Team, made Kelli her own blog site so she can keep us informed of her health and share her faith. Go to www.kellibelieves.com to check it out and leave her a message. I want to thank all of you and Nicole for pouring your heart out to Kelli and other's like her. God loves her beyond belief and so do we!
