Pastor Earnestine Blakley is the founder and President of H.O.P.E. Outreach Ministries, Inc., founded on June 13, 1994. (H.O.P.E. is an acronym for Helping Other People Excel.) The mission of this outreach ministry is to help the hurting and the needy find hope and spiritual nourishment through God’s Word and to help promote literacy among children, youth, and adults. Pastor Earnestine and numerous volunteers read storybooks to children at Apartment Complexes during the summer months. During the school year, she arranges for students from local schools to visit the elderly in Nursing Homes so they can interact through games and conversation. Some of the objectives of the reading outreach are to promote literacy; to build relationships; to foster volunteerism; and to break down generational, socio-economic, cultural, and denominational barriers.
H.O.P.E. Outreach Ministries, Inc. works cohesively with Hope Fellowship Church to win lost souls to Jesus Christ. Pastor Earnestine Blakley is the founder of both ministries. God is using both ministries to impact lives in St. Joseph, Missouri and around the world! Please see the flyer from the summer of 2023.
