About us
Destiny of Hope Ministries is a 501c3, non-profit organization serving all people regardless of religion, marital status, race, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
Webster defines destiny as a “predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power.” We believe that power is Jesus Christ, hope of the world! It is our desire to see all people reach their destiny through the hope of Jesus.
In many ways, it is difficult to nail down exactly what we do, because the need for HOPE looks different for everyone. Our goal is to meet people at their point of need, whatever that may be.
Mission Statement
Destiny of Hope Ministries exists to reach out to the community, crossing religious, generational, and cultural barriers. We minister to people at their physical, spiritual, or emotional point of need as we share Jesus through hope and love in action.
Statement of Faith
Destiny of Hope Ministries is a Christ centered, nondenominational, evangelical ministry. We affirm the National Association of Evangelical’s Statement of Faith as follows:
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Meet our Staff
LAURA CAMPBELL
Destiny of Hope’s President, began her education studying forensic science with the FBI. However, as God would have it, she returned to school later to follow a different path towards teaching and ministering as a youth pastor. Additionally, she was a public speaker for ministries all over the nation as well as a summer camp and youth conference director. Laura has been ordained since 1992, and throughout her lifetime the opportunity to minister to others has come in many forms; including weddings, funerals, and in palliative care settings.
Laura has lived an adventurous life from running a successful small business, to being a tax consultant for numerous clients, as well as providing much needed fund raising for families in times of need. Her financial mentoring and counseling for young families has created many opportunities to spread the message of Jesus Christ.
Laura has experienced trials and tribulations throughout her life, facing them with grace, courage and hope. Divorce, loss, and health crises have all reared their ugly heads along her walk with God; however, her strength has remained because of her relationship with Him.
In May of 1996 Laura was diagnosed with Stage IV Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and given an extremely poor prognosis. At the time she had 4 young children. Through it all, Laura did not see herself as a victim, but stood strong in the Word of God. She and her family prayed and believed in the healing power of God, never wavering in the knowledge that she would be an overcomer. She remains cancer free today.
Today brings her continued blessings including five grown children and their families. She currently has 9 grandchildren, with her 10th grandchild expected in August 2018. Laura is excited to continue sharing the message of Hope that comes from a relationship with God!
