A Note to Our Supporting Churches
As the snow fell on Athens, Georgia Friday night, thousands of disciples from across the southeast braved the weather to witness the book of Acts come alive during a weekend that was truly led by the Spirit.

Haiti Video of First HOPE worldwide Response Team
Immediately following the disastrous 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, the Port-au-Prince Church of Christ and HOPE Haiti began to serve those around them. Even while church members were looking for their own families and other members, 50 people from the community were welcomed to stay on the church property with about 60 disciples of the 300 member church.
Within days, the first HOPE worldwide response team was on the scene with food, water, medicine, hugs and prayers. ICOC Hot News released this touching video of that first visit. Last week three souls were baptized there!
Video Report from First HOPE worldwide Relief Team to Haiti
HOPE worldwide's first releif team arrived in Port-au-Prince only five days after the devastating earthquake that resulted in 200,000 deaths and 2 million homeless.

Our partner ICOC Hot News released this moving video of what that first relief team saw as they brought food and medical supplies to the 60 disciples and 50 friends camped out on the property of the Port-au-Prince Church of Christ.
