Chapter History
The 'scouting work' for a new mission location began in 1950 when the Lord led our founder, Mamie E. Caskie, Ruth Carlson and Estelle J. Clasing to this city to open a branch of Grace and Hope Mission.
A suitable hall was rented and renovated at the Five Corners section of the city, 633 Newark Avenue. On September 16, 1951 the first service was conducted with many of the neighborhood children and adults in attendance.
The Lord blessed the work and the seed that was sown bore fruit. Out of this beginning came three Grace and Hope missionaries who attended the services, Sunday school and Bible clubs as children.
In January of 1955 we purchased a building at 90 Newark Avenue in the downtown section of the city. The work continued there for the next 45 years. However, downtown began to change considerably and we felt the Lord was leading us to a new location. On February 27, 1991, we held our first service at our present location, 152 Mallory Avenue.
Besides the spiritual help that is offered at the mission there are calls for material help. Food and clothing are cheerfully given to those in need.
In all activities and endeavors we seek to glory the Lord.

Reports JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY
162 Mallory Avenue
Dorothy H. Sweeney, Superintendent " ... My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 19 We are rejoicing today because, as He promised, God supplied our every need throughout the past year: We believe, without doubt, He will not fail us as we begin the new, untraveled, path of 2010. It is reassuring to the child of God to read ofthe wanderings of the Children of Israel as they walked toward the Promised Land. For almost four decades their needs would be many. At one point in their travels, they were without water! We read, "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod.and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speakye unto the rock before their eyes: and it shall give forth his water, and thou shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shall give the congregation and their beasts drink." Numbers 20:8 And, so it was: When they needed water, God broughtitforth from a rock. When they needed food, He sent them manna from heaven. Their shoes and their clothing after those many years of joumeyingdid not wear out. The songwriter has written, "It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away; it's just like Jesus to keep me day by day. It's just like Jesus all along the way. It's just like His great love." We ask your prayers for those of us (here in Jersey City) who stand in the need of prayer. The Lord, we know, will undertake and over-rule in our behalf with regard to our physical and ternporal needs. And, more importantlyj'pray with us for those we meet each day who need salvation. Thanks to Calvary, when the need for salvation is realized in the heart of a sinner, Jesus the Rock of Ages can meet that need too. It can still be found at the foot of The Old Rugged Cross. We wish all our Evangel readers, A Happy New Year.
