Desire 4 Hope Ministry is a Christ-centered outreach of Hawthorne Gospel Church, committed to sharing the hope and love of Jesus with those who are hurting, lost, or struggling. The ministry serves individuals facing addiction, homelessness, poverty, and spiritual need through relationship-based outreach, prayer, detox & Christian recovery placement, and, most importantly, the Gospel.
Desire 4 Hope conducts weekly outreach in Paterson, meeting people where they are and pointing them to healing, restoration, and new life in Christ. While now under the covering of Hawthorne Gospel Church, the ministry continues to function with the same mission and heart—bringing light into dark places and hope through Jesus.
New Beginnings Visitation Ministry serves residents at the Broadway House in Newark, NJ by sharing the hope of Jesus Christ through weekly visits, prayer, and friendship. Our team meets with men and women from diverse backgrounds and also offers a group Bible study to help residents grow in their faith and understanding of God’s Word.
Men and women serve together on Thursday evenings, meeting at the church and driving together in a church vehicle. New volunteers are welcome to join on a trial basis. If you’re interested in being part of this life-giving ministry, please contact the church office to be connected with a team member.
