Pastor Hopkins developed a purpose statement when he was appointed the new pastor of New Direction Community Church in Vancouver Wa (formally known as Victory Temple). Within that purpose statement God revealed His plan for Pastor Hopkins to minister worldwide. As the Vision unfolded and the ministry grew, mission and evangelism became the main driving force and focus of the ministry.

Superintendent Hopkins in 2001 established a relationship with a young seminary student who had been referred to him. They stayed in contact and Pastor Hopkins mentored the young man who had started a church in Kumasi, Ghana. In 2004 Pastor Hopkins, and Assistant Pastor Elder Doyle took their first missionary journey to visit Pastor Boenteng Pastor Boateng sought to align his ministry with New Direction Community Church Ministries and it’s parent organization Church of God in Christ.

At the same time Superintendent Hopkins took his first missionary journey to Ghana he requested to visit an orphanage in the area. Since that visit New Direction Community Church Ministries has provided a storage tank and water faucet for the well at the Offin Children’s Center Orphanage just outside of Kumasi. The children where also given sheets for their beds. They love to see Pastor Hopkins for the candy he brings.

Superintendent Hopkins returned each year, conducting crusades and pastors and leadership conferences in Kumasi and Accra. In 2008 Superintendent Hopkins extended his ministry in Ghana. He presented an additional pastor and leader conference in the coast region and traveled to Zombo Lawra in the far West of Ghana. While in the village Zombo Lawra he met another young pastor, Alfred Bunwere who had established a small congregation. Pastor Bunwere expressed his need to Superintendent Hopkins to be under a leadership covering and his desire to be developed as a pastor. Superintendent Hopkins once again responded by sharing his vision within the structure of COGIC.

Pastor Bunwere chose to come under the umbrella of Victory Temple Ministries and the International Church of God in Christ. The village chief in Zombo Lawra was very impressed with the work and the message that Superintendent Hopkins brought to his village. The Chief donated the land to build the church, thereby establishing the second daughter church of Victory Temple Ministries International in Zombo Lawra, Ghana.

I recently have been going on my prayer walks and have enjoyed these sermon notes on the power of focused light. The church I attend in New Direction Community Church In Vancouver Wa.

• We are the light and the light is the greater power
• When we become focused we become more powerful like when you use a magnifing glass to focus the light on a certian piece of paper
• The paper wouldn’t burn until the light was focused
• When we become focused light it inspires others
• Key verse Luke 4:18 (Jesus was focused light)
• The more we focus on Jeus the more power we have
• One analogy would be, when we become more focused in school we pay better attention, take better notes, and past the test when they are given. (Think about that spiritually)
• Jesus didn’t allow anybody to take him off his focus

If you want to check out the listing in the online yellow pages I put some contact info in there, here is the link, church vancouver wa.

• Key verse John 9 1-7
• The power we have is in how focused we are
• If you check where a person spends their money, you will find out where a person’s heart is
• One example if that of a when Pastor Hopkins when to Africa on a missions trip and they wanted to charge him a fee for the Bibles he was taking over, since they told him that he was planning on selling them. Pastor told them that he was giving them away but they didn’t believe him. But another, senior customs officer came by and saw what was happing and found out Pastor was a Man of God. Once that happened not only did Pastor not have to pay any fees, but the Senior customs officer made the whole customs line wait while pastor prayed over her at the airport. Since pastor was focused on his mission trip God worked in an amesome on his behalf.
• Christians affect change when they are focused light
• If we focus on Gods business, he will take care of our business
• Most things in our lives are to keep us off focus, we need to focus on his word and his call
• We will have success when we are focused

Just wanted to leave you with some info on our chruch in vancouver wa.

Each year Pastor and the Advisory Committee develop strategies and objectives for the year. The church in Vancouver Wa had a goal to purchase a van to provide transportation for the members who needed a ride to get to services and activities.

The van is one more goal we have achieved this year. God is truly blessing us with the tools we need to fulfill our purpose of saving souls as we move into the first phase of evangelism.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

My testimony has been the same over the years; the Lord is richly blessing the ministry at New Direction Community Church in Vancouver WA.

We are right on track with our purpose and our mission. The ministry has helped an orphanage and church in Ghana, while we stand fast in our commitment to our outreach ministry on the streets of Portland. We know that only what we do for Christ will last. All of our other ministries are also going forward with renewed and continued blessings.

I encourage everyone to continue in your spiritual growth. The only way you can grow and mature in God is to STAY CLOSE by committing yourself to the house of God. We are living in the last days and we need to stay close so that we are able to hear the voice of the Lord. The devil wants to separate you from the people of God and the House of God so you will not be able to draw strength in your time of need.

Stay faithful to God and the Church and you will be blessed; you cannot make it on your own. Continue to pray for one another and our ministry.

Pastor Archie R. Hopkins Jr.
