Missionary Video Chat

Instead of our usual sermon last Sunday, we had a nice, long chat with two of our missionaries to Russia, Warren and Andrea Caron. But they were not here in Pittsburgh. We used one of the coolest, virtually free features of the Internet, the live video chat. We had a very enjoyable time talking with the Carons about their family life in Russia, their ministry and outreach to the Russian people, and even what kinds of food they eat (i.e., borsh), and what kind of foods they miss (i.e., Gold Fish and peanut butter). We spent over an hour getting to know them in a way that was far superior to emails and letters, and they got to know us better too. Check out the video below to get an idea of how it went.



We used Skype (a free download) for the video chat. If you would like to be added to New Hope's Skype contact list, please send your Skype name to newhopeml@gmail.com. We would be especially interested in chatting with former members of New Hope who have moved to other parts of the country or the planet to see what you have been up to.

Songwriters Circle

Connections had one of their largest turnouts ever at their concert on March 24, the Songwriters Circle. It was organized by Joy Ike, who also performed at the event. Below is a video of Joy's performance.



Joy was joined by two other musicians in the circle, John Robinson and David Dickerson. All the music was outstanding and at times inspirational. Check out the links below to sample videos of their performances and music.
