DALE
Dale is the founder of the Center of Hope. He is the father of
8 beautiful children, three his own, three by marriage, and
two by adoption. To him they are equal blessings.
He was not raised in the church, but actually for most of his
life claimed to be an atheist. In the spring of 1993 he found he
was very wrong. In an attempt to find a new wife after a
divorce went to church. After going there he found Christ the
love of his life. He is not religious, or by far perfect, but is a
real man who loves the Lord and lives every day by grace.
His greatest desire is to be more like Jesus and to help as
many people that he possibly can through the love of Christ.
Here in the ministry he teaches, counsels, and guides the
men in the discipleship home into a closer walk with Christ.
He does the fund raising for the ministry, by presenting the
Center of Hope to other pastors as well as business owners
to show how they can help a hurting community. He is a
blessed man who enjoys being a blessing!
Dale's life scripture is Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified
with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the
Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me".
VICKI
A woman after God's own heart and a woman of wisdom
beyond her years, Vicki was placed into Dale's life as an
awesome friend, mate, and companion. She has a testimony
that would bring tears to your eyes, but is now a trophy of
God's grace and love. She is extremely gifted in writing,
teaching and speaking. She encourages and challenges
each person she touches. She has a gift of grace and
patience that is not found in many and has a desire to see
people lifted from the lifestyle she once had so they can walk
in freedom.
Vicki heads our women's ministry and teaches, counsels,
and guides the women into a personal, passionate, walk with
Christ. Her life scripture is Genesis 50:20 "What the enemy
meant for my harm, God meant it for good to save many
people."
The Center of Hope is directed by Dale and Vicki
Hendry, both pastors. They are both involved full
time in all aspects of the ministry.

Vicki's oldest daughter is serving at the L.A. Dream Center in
Los Angeles, California. She is on the volunteer staff in the
missions office. She feels called to be a missionary and is
sowing her seed of faith and giving a year to God.
