The NeighborHope Ministries Story By Norm Wretlind, President and Founder of NeighborHope Ministries About twenty-five years ago, Norm and Becky Wretlind discovered that loving your neighbors really could be fun. In fact it could be a party! Hosting a Christmas party in their neighborhood was the perfect way to create a bridge for their neighbors to meet Christ. Various additional parties led to home Bible studies, and over a three-year period, more than sixty neighbors accepted Christ as their Savior. Even whole families came to faith. It was like living in the book of Acts! Soon a church was born, and today over one thousand "neighbors" gather weekly to worship the Lord. As a result of this experience, the Wretlinds developed training materials that are equipping thousands of families across the nation to also "have a party" for sharing Christ. Why a Party?
