“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” – which means, “God with us.” ~Matthew 1:23, NIV

Women of Hope would like to invite you to meet with us for coffee & fellowship. We want this to be a time for the ladies to just get away for a couple hours, relax with a cup of coffee (or tea, or cocoa, etc), and just hang out with the girls. You are more than welcome to bring other women along with you. The more the merrier! We get together on a Saturday, once a month, and meet at a local Starbucks or coffee shop from 11:00am – 1:00pm.
The next JULIET fellowship will be on Saturday, Dec 4th at the Starbucks in Richmond – 15521 San Pablo Avenue. It’s located in the same area as the AM/PM gas station, Round Table, Sala Thai, H&R Block.
If you need more info, please contact Nedia @ nedia@restoringhope.com.
We carpooled from Central Assembly to the Teen Challenge Women/Children’s Center in San Jose. We all got there around 3:30pm.
Unloading the equipment……….
~ We were talking & laughing during the set up ~
~ The Worhsip Team ~
Once all of our equipment was set up, we got started with the service. The center was actually in a house. The band set up in their dining room area, which opened up to a front room, which is where they had chairs set up for the ladies to sit. There were about 25-30 women in attendance. Some of the ladies from another Teen Challenge center in San Jose joined us. Ginger lead worship, singing some songs like “How Great Is Our God,” and “Breakthrough.” We definitely felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in that house. After worship, Ginger spoke on ”Lies.” All of the women were receptive to what she was preaching on. When she was done, she introduced us, Crystal, Valerie & I (Nedia), to the ladies of Teen Challenge. Ginger asked if anyone needed prayer, and offered us three women to pray for them. That was an amazing time, just being able to pray for those ladies. Not only were the ladies of Teen Challenge blessed with us ministering to them, but our group was truly blessed as well. We could all tell that the Holy Spirit was working in that room to break strongholds. It was an amazing experience.
After prayer, we brought out the gifts that were donated from our church for the women of Teen Challenge.
They were so happy and very thankful. At the end, some of the members of the group “3 in the Same” performed some songs to close us out. It was an amazing and life changing outreach!

On August 21st, between 9am to 3pm, Women of Hope hosted a rummage sale at Central Assembly. Items such as clothes, books, toys, household items, small furniture and more, were graciously donated by the friends and families of Central Assembly. The items were categorized and laid out for sale. Thanks to Jesus, he was the muscles behind the scenes helping set up tables and displays. Nedia, June, Diane and Mai also helped organize the items for sale the night before the big day. On the day of the sale, Nedia, June, Diane, Crystal, Kayley and I (Valerie), helped to get those items sold. We all had a fun time meeting new people as they came through looking around.
With help from Steve, Hunter and Jesus, we were able to pack up the stuff we didn’t sell and clean up real quick. The yard sale was a success with the tons of items that were sold.
Thank you to all those who donated items to the yard sale. And a special thank you to those who participated in putting this yard sale together!
