With the support of Joyce Meyer Ministries, the NHCLC will carryout a 24-city outreach program that will serve as the primary Compassionate Evangelism campaign throughout 2013 and beyond. Key Hispanic leaders in each of the targeted cities will be invited to provide leadership for the local events as well as representation of the national campaign. One of the primary objectives of these events is to bring attention to the needs in the community and to engage the Body of Christ in 24/7 compassionate-evangelism, utilizing unique outreach strategies developed for each city. The events will be referred to as a "Festival of Hope."
Through this partnership of the NHCLC and Joyce Meyer Ministries, young adults will also have the opportunity to participate in the recently restructured Hand of Hope internship program. The engagement of young adults in hands-on compassionate evangelism activities is a high priority for the NHCLC. This internship will serve as a way for these emerging leaders to share their voice within the Hispanic community.
"We are extremely excited about the opportunity to partner with the NHCLC on this project," says David Meyer, CEO of Hand of Hope, Joyce Meyer Ministries World Missions. "We look forward to the good we can accomplish together for Christ."
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the NHCLC, said, "We do justice because of the vertical, the Cross – it is the heart of everything the NHCLC does. This partnership exemplifies the horizontal by reaching out to our communities, as the Body of Christ, to help those in need, physically, financially and spiritually. We are very pleased to partner with Joyce Meyer Ministries. Together we will be the vortex of the horizontal and vertical, serving the Hispanic Community across the United States."
