Who We Are
Pastors Frederick & Rosa Daniels were married on August 7th, 1976, while Frederick was a member of the U.S.Navy, serving at M.C.L.S.B., Barstow, California. While stationed at the Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois both Fred and Rosa began feeling the drawing of the God on their Hearts to come to him in 1983 they responded to God by giving their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ according to (Acts 2:38) at the U.P.C. of Waukegan, Il. (Pastors Irwin and Alma Davis). Prior to my 20 year retirement from the Navy, while stationed abroad, we prayed for the will and vision of God in our lives. God sent us back to that little church in Waukegan, Il where so many miracles and divine blessing began to take place in our lives. We returned in time prior to the passing of our spiritual mentors Bro. and Sis. Davis, that during a particular visit with Pastor Davis in the hospital he laid his hands upon my wife and I, then prayed us into our ministry. A week later he gracious went on to be with the Lord. "Keep on, Keeping on". In June of 1994, we began to pastor that same church with a burden, and fervency to continue to please the Lord no matter what the cost.
Pursueing the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus has led us to new spiritual places and dimensions in Christ Jesus for he is The Truth. In 2007, by inspiration of God, many years of prayer, and conviction by God the church was renamed, Jesus The Living Hope Ministry. We honor and respect our beginnings, and the honorable men and women we have had the privelege to fellowship with Pastors & Mrs. Kelly Wilson of Decatur, Il, and Pastor & Mrs. Bobby Bessant of Kankakee, Il, Pastor & Mrs. Paul Dennis, and so many more. Being born of the Holy Spirit, we are forever moving deeper and closer to God in our relationship, and into His Truth. God is still speaking in this generation to ascend higher in him with New Faith, New Hope, New Love and New Courage not defined by human thinking, or religious paradigms this is the Vision of God and this is who we are. We Love God, with all of our heart, all of our mind, all of our body, all of our Spirit, and all of our soul . There is but One Jesus. Our church family are people that are Baptized in Jesus Name, and filled with the Holy Ghost. And have entered a Third Day Truth of the Feast of Tabernacles to fulfill the complete work of Jesus Christ. By becoming more like Jesus through spiritual tranformation being conformed to His Image. We believe in the Greater Promises of God that will cause us to ascended with him as we are obedient to Jesus Christ.
