When DudleyGrunt posted a note asking for someone to take a look at JCLovers.com and the problems they were having, I had no idea what I was in for.

I went over to the site, took a look, and they were in a mess. The owner of the website had disappeared, and they had massive technical issues. I cautioned them that fixing the errors were not probably the best thing to do, since the owner was inaccessible, even to people who knew him in real life. Who knew when the bills would stop being paid?

That started me on a journey of helping the administrator of that site launch a new website. I had a new site up and running in no time flat, thanks to the grace and guidance of God. Within a day of turning on the beta website, the old site was shut down by the web hosting company.

So comes HopeFirst Networks. The new website, HopeFirst.net, has become a labor of love for me in the past week or so. Originally, the admin wasn't going to buy new web hosting or a new domain name until today - good thing God intervened and he bought it when he did!

HopeFirst features full user profiles, true Social Network style. Every user is provided their own WordPress blog (yourname.hopefirst.net). Please come and see the good works that are being done!

Unfortunately, the owner of the site has decided to shut down, so he tells me ... thank you to those that came and joined during the short time the site was around.

It is too bad that the work and effort put into the site did not go anywhere since we were given such a short lifespan.

HFN is shutting down? :( That's a real shame. In the last week or so, we'd gotten up to 21 members. I was really hoping that maybe GC4C and HFN could join together on our Bible study and maybe other efforts.

I would, however, recommend anyone who was interested in additional online Christian fellowship to check out the Daily Audio Bible. I hate to sound like a broken record, but it really is an awesome ministry. Even if you don't, for some reason, listen to any of their podcasts, the rest of the site offers so much that it is still worth checking out.

It looks like HFN is safe for now.

The owner listened to what I had to say, and told me his wife is on my side. :)

Thanks for all your help and encouragement, Dave.
