This
letter is an introduction and welcome to IHOPE Ministries. IHOPE is
located at 722 S. Hackett Rd. in Waterloo. IHOPE is a non-profit
Christian church ministry.
IHOPE
seeks to promote unity in the body of Christ in this area by having
Christians pray and work together to help the
people of the Cedar Valley.
The two major parts of IHOPE ministries are the House of Prayer (HOP) and
the free medical clinic. The HOP consists of groups of Christians coming
together to worship and pray. There are several prayer meetings
each week, and one day per week there is a 24-hour continuous time
of worship and prayer. Prayer is made for our nation, the Cedar Valley
area, churches and pastors, families, and individual needs.
The
Lord has graciously answered hundreds of prayer requests including salvation
of loved ones, restoration of marriages, reduction in area crime
rate, and physical healing.
The
free medical clinic provides medical care to the uninsured and underinsured
in the Cedar Valley area. Basic medical care is provided on
site at IHOPE. Patients needing lab work are sent to Covenant Hospital,
which has graciously provided their services free of charge.
Several area physicians and nurses have volunteered their time and efforts
to work at the clinic. A team is also available to pray with the
patients who wish to receive prayer. God has already touched several
patients through this time of prayer and many patients have
committed their lives to the Lord.
Please
feel free to visit or join in the activities at the HOP or the free
medical clinic. All of the staff are volunteers, and they will be happy
to assist you. There are future plans to provide food and clothing
to the poor and homeless in the Cedar Valley.
Matt
25:35-36
”For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you
gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after
me.”
May the Lord bless you and your family.
Your friends in Christ,
Dr. Michael and Mary Jo Peters
