"You Shall be called Hephzibah, for the Lord delights in You..." (Isaiah 62:4) |
|
The Hephzibah Ministry was founded in 1893 by women as a training school
for women interested in Christian ministry both in New York City and the
world at large. Many of the early women later became missionaries in other
countries. In the training of those who were here for spiritual development,
Bible studies , conferences, individual and group instruction in practical
matters as well as spiritual were implemented. Great emphasis has always
been placed on prayer. The Hephzibah Ministry is both evangelical and non-denominational
since its founding. Hephzibah Ministry has been at the center of sharing
God's love in practical ways in New York City. The word Hephzibah (pronounced
Hep-zi-bah) is from the Bible, found in Isaiah 62:4 and means "thou
shalt be called Hephzibah. for the Lord delighteth in thee." To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Hephzibah Ministry a book was written. It contains an incomplete history of Hephzibah and notes some of it's founders, recording God's work in and through it from 1893-1993. Then an additional chapter was written so it could be updated with information and the blessings of God on a little brownstone on the west side of New York City and a staff dedicated to the building of the Kingdom of God. Copies are available if you phone Hephzibah House for details. |
