REV. OMAR O. HINOJOSA

MCALLEN - Rev. Omar O. Hinojosa, 79, went to be with our Lord, Monday June 10, 2019 in McAllen. Mr. Hinojosa was preceded in death by his daughter, Lisa Robles; former spouse, Patricia Hinojosa; his parents, Rafael and Guadalupe Hinojosa; sister, Irma Hinojosa; a brother, Cesar Hinojosa.

Born September 14th 1939, Pastor Omar was the founder and lead pastor of New Hope Ministries Church on July 8, 2000 in after 40 years of service in the United Methodist Church Organization for a total of 58 years in ministry . He was a good man here as he is in heaven and always showed love everywhere he went. God used him in a mighty way to make an impact in the lives of countless people around this country and abroad. He ministered to, preached to, taught, baptized, married, and showed many how to live a God-filled life. His legacy still continues for him in heaven in His Presence receiving his just reward and in the beginnings of his new eternal journey. We say this in remembrance that he is only gone from this earth and has entered his heavenly mansion. His legacy also continues through the ministries of many persons he mentored and touched that led them to ministry here and abroad. He may not be here physically with us, but he sure is alive and well in heaven. He meant a lot to all of us and he will be missed because we truly love him. He went home and his legacy was sharing Jesus' message to give the way we could all see him again one day. Jesus is Hope! Jesus is The Way! Jesus is Love!Thank you for your presence and prayers and we bless you all in Jesus' mighty name.
