Welcome
As you view this page, I’m asking YOU to prayerfully consider becoming an essential member of my Quality Disciple Team.
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us.
We hope you enjoy this page and take a moment to drop us a line.
We were never meant to do life and ministry alone . . .
So, I've partnered with IHope Christian Care and Counseling to help me make disciples who make disciples.
Why IHope And Something New Is The Perfect Match
OUR MISSION AND VISION
MISSION STATEMENT:
To bring hope and healing to the community through professional counseling and care rooted in biblical principles.
The vision of iHope Christian Care and Counseling, Inc. is to be a distinctly Christian counseling center serving individuals, families, couples, and ministry leaders with affordable counseling and care. We are committed to offering hope and healing through Jesus Christ. As Christian counselors, we are called to bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captive, and comfort those who mourn. iHope desires to be an extender of the local church, offering counsel to those going through a season of difficulty. We are a support and resource for local pastors and for our community. Many people desire counseling and healing offered through Jesus Christ, but they do not know where to turn, cannot afford counseling, or are unaware of available resources. iHope is intended to be a resource within reach of anyone who wants help.
CORE VALUES
iHope operates by five core values. These values guide our counseling work, education, and interactions with the community and are grounded in Scripture.
- Christ-centered
Remain consistently true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his Word in Scripture
John 15:1-8 - Kingdom-minded
Engage with the local church to care for and connect clients to the body of Christ
Acts 2:42-47, Romans 12:4-5 - Ethics, Integrity, and Excellence
Maintain the ethical standards of the American Association of Christian Counselors (see the AACC Code of Ethics), practicing with integrity and competency
Proverbs 11:3, Proverbs 28:6, 1 Peter 3:16 - Accessibility
Be a resource within reach of anyone who needs help.
Philippians 2:5-8, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 22:9 - Whole-Person Care
Serve and care for each person’s holistic health – spiritual, mental, relational, physical, and emotional health and wellness.
Matthew 22:36-39, Matthew 14:14-21
WHY DOES IHOPE EXIST?
We at iHope seek to intentionally partner with churches and ministries to meet three areas of need in our community: our pastors’ need for trusted resources, availability of Christian counseling, and keeping costs affordable.
- A pastoral resource: Pastors often recognize that some people need care and counseling beyond what they or their church can offer. A nonprofit committed to care and counsel rooted in biblical principles is a helpful resource for many local churches.
- Christian counseling: Many people desire specifically Christian counseling that will help make the connection between their faith and the issues of life. Strengthening individual faith and life lived in community is a unique offering of Christian counseling.
- Affordable costs: Locally, counseling sessions cost an average of $120 per session. Many people cannot afford this, but do not have access to health insurance that will help to cover the cost, or they quickly reach the limit of what insurance can offer. Counseling at iHope ranges from only $40-$60 per session. That’s half the cost.

From My Heart To Yours
Dear Friend,
I am reaching out to you to share a dream of establishing a discipleship ministry I’ve had for a number of years and believe that now is the time to share it with you. As you read through this letter, I’m asking YOU to prayerfully consider becoming an essential member of my Quality Disciple Team.
WHY I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP:
I need prayer support. It was Hudson Taylor who reminds us “I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.” It was Watchman Nee who said, “If the work is spiritual then the way of supply will be spiritual as well.”
I need ministry benefactors who will make a strategic financial investment in the mission of The Quality Disciple and Something New Ministries who desire to see disciples of Jesus grow in their personal, professional, and spiritual lives.
Your financial support will help me to have compounding consistency and compounding influence on the Quality Disciples I’m seeking to reach. I desire to go into their world (Matthew 28:19), into the marketplace, online, and in the local church, and make disciples who make disciples. In addition, I’m pleased to announce I’ll be joining the iHope Christian Care and Counseling Center as a certified Quality life coach.
Your financial support allows me to create more spiritual formation and leadership content. I believe the Lord has many more books and other resources inside of me that are yet to be written.
Your financial support allows me to employ others to edit, format, market, etc.; freeing up more time for me to create original content.
Your financial support allows me to offer a discounted price point for many who may not be able to afford the resources I’ve written.
Your financial support will allow me to complete the work I believe the Lord has called me to do.
Most of all, I am asking for His help. I need the Lord’s anointing, His Spirit to fill my heart and mind every day, grant me good health, and give me a focused vision of faith to see that these spiritual resources are in the possession of all who desire to become a Quality Disciple.
I am honored to partner with iHope Christian Care and Counseling Center. They have been gracious to offer you a way to make your tax-deductible gift online at https://ihopeflorence.com/give-hope-today/donate/ as well as by check.
All checks may be made out to IHope Christian Care and Counseling Center. In the memo line, write in Something New Ministries and mail it to this address: 1414 W. Evans Street, Florence, SC 29505.
Mission Statement of The Quality Disciple and Something New Ministries:
Is a ministry that focuses upon making Quality disciples for Jesus
Is a ministry that encourages believers to connect in community and experience the discipled life
Is a ministry that seeks to equip the local church and learning how to live the discipled life through books about spiritual growth, seminars, workshops, keynote speaking and interactive coaching
Vision Statement of The Quality Disciple and Something New Ministries:
Will be an international ministry that encourages believers to connect in a caring community of love and support as they experience the discipled life
Will be an international ministry that will become the “go to” resource in empowering the Body of Christ by learning how to live the discipled life through books about spiritual growth, seminars, workshops, keynote speaking and interactive coaching
This is my PASSION to add value to you and other Quality Disciples.
This is my PURPOSE to create, teach, coach, and mentor with my books.
I believe this is a strategic PATH for me until He calls me home.
I believe the resources the Lord has given me over the course of my life will never reach their full potential for the maximum of greatest influence unless I can build a team who believes in me and in what I am doing.
I am asking for your help by joining with me in this cause: to become a part of The Quality Disciple Team to make disciples who are passionate about making disciples too (2 Timothy 2:2).
Will you pray? Can you give? I hope we can connect soon.
Today May You . . . Have A Really Good Day.
Dr. Denny Bates
