A Time of Inspiration - by Naomi Wallace
“All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor,
the very thing I was eager to do” Galatians 2:10
The 2008 HOPE worldwide Global Summit held on May 17th was a time of rekindled memories, honor, and inspiration for all that attended. Hosted in Herndon, Virginia, it was very appropriate to celebrate the history of HOPE worldwide in an area filled with buildings and monuments signifying the history of success and victory of the United States from the rule of Great Britain. The theme of the conference was “The Power of Partnership,” illustrated how networking relationships develop a natural connection with others. Through those partnerships we accomplish our goals on a larger scale and are inspired by how much God works through others to serve and meet people’s needs of different communities around the world.

SSCOC Financial Philosophy
Money is so often divisive. Most of us can remember parents or grand-parents soberly abjuring us from discussing money, religion, or politics, in or out of our households. For disciples, two of these three are still sensitive topics, and none more so than cold, hard cash. Money can bless the church or divide the church. Since disciples tenaciously strive for the “complete unity” that Jesus prayed for, coming to a consensus about money in the church is a serious and essential step in “contending as one man” for the gospel in Seattle. What can God’s word tell us about such sensitive waters?
