  • Kim Laurence, women's minister

    K.LAURENCE@NEWHOPECCHURCH.COM

    Kim Laurence has been serving in women's ministry in different capacities for over 30 years. She has a passion to see women come to Christ, and to discover just how deeply Jesus loves them. She has a heart to pray with, mentor and counsel women who are hurting or just need someone to talk to or pray for/with them. She has had the joy of heading up and organizing women's events, including ladies meetings, small groups, fun outings, outreach events, prayer meetings, and retreats. She loves to teach the Word of god to help women mature in their walk with Christ, learn to apply the Word in a practical and relevant way in their lives, and come  to know who they are in Christ. She knows from experience that once women come to know who they are based on what God's Word says, they will receive healing and wholeness. Her great delight is to disciple women and help train them up so they can be activated into their God-given giftings and purpose.
