December 27, 2021 at 6:34 pmCondolences to my family..my Uncle Pastor Vern Donaldson and the entire New Hope Church. Pastor Michele Donaldson wasn’t just family to me she was also my friend. I have visited New Hope on a few occasions while I was stationed in Norfolk, VA. I also had my own Church I was attending. She was a diamond that shined bright in the word of God. She didn’t just preach it she also lived it and it showed. My heart ached with sadness to learn of her passing but I will continue to bless the Lord at all times as she did even in her final days. I know Pastor Michele Donaldson will be an asset in the Kingdom.

January 2, 2022 at 1:23 pmMy condolences to the immediate family and church family of Pastor Michele Donaldson. I was saddened to hear of her transition; as I just learned of it this morning. She was a prophet and woman of profound faith. She was bold for the Lord and never staggered at the promises of God. She was such an encouragement. It was my pleasure meeting her several years ago. May the God of peace and comfort be with the family.
