From Ray Of Hope Church

It is our hope that many of you will revisit this page as part of your weekly devotions and ask the Lord Jesus to give you the Wisdom He has for you. We realize there are many who believe they must stay in the closet at this time in their lives. This page is an outreach to you who may not be able to worship with us on a regular basis yet.  May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and guide you as you study His Word and pray from your homes.
