What Are Your Ministries, and Where Can I Serve?
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, to preparing special meals.
Mission Outreach
New Life is thrilled to be part of the spread of God’s kingdom around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting these missionaries with our money and with our prayers. We encourage all of our people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means that they move to a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.

We believe that worship opens our hearts to see the evidence of God’s presence all around us. Worship lets us celebrate God’s faithfulness and show our gratitude for His work in our lives. Here at NLFWC our mission is to lead others into a passionate, uncompromised worship of God. We desire to give God the glory, honor and praise that He deserves.

What’s Happening?
We are in the processes of getting things ready for our building project. Phase one has already been completed, for the most part, in which we added new offices and a new fellowship hall in our old gym. Some more cosmetic things need to be done to finish this project.
The second phase is a new gym. We also have projections to create an athletic field in this project. Our hope is to use these not only for in-house ministry, but also community outreach. We are receiving a building that should have cost us $60,000 dollars for a fraction
of the cost at only $20,000. We are still raising money for this though some donations have been made. Once that is paid for we still have to pay for finishing the project. Please pray and ask the Lord what He would have you give toward this project. We have added a quick sketch of the building size and how we plan to use it. More info on this will be posted soon.
Update. The materials for the building have arrived! Still needing money to finish this project. Ask the Lord what He would have you give. Below are some pictures.
**UPDATE** As many of you know, we have collected $20,000 toward our gymnasium. We are still in need of $100,000 to finish our gym out. We have already begun the process of getting it built and are trusting God for the rest! Would you consider donating toward this cause? Every dollar counts!
***UPDATE***
Radiant Heat Flooring being put in our new gymnasium floor!
New Gymnasium at the end of August:
UPDATE!
The building is up, the roof is on! The electricity is hooked up. We are in need of $100,000.00 to complete this project. Give as the Lord leads you!
UPDATE!
The heat and insulation are in, we still need to put in AC and finish the inside. The funds are still needed to complete this project. Give generously as the Lord blesses leads you to give.
The third phase is a new sanctuary. A picture of the vision is posted below. More info on our plans will be posted when the time comes.

Don’t Settle For the Counterfeit
As we find ourselves in a place we’ve never found ourselves in before, we should be examining our hearts like never before. This whole quarantine thing really isn’t fun. As I’ve contemplated all that is going on, I’ve had a chance to really look in my own heart. My cry has been, “God, don’t let me settle for the counterfeit and miss out on knowing you.” The enemy has set …

FALL for Jesus
It’s Fall… the time of year when we smell the crisp air and crunch dead leave under our feet. We sip hot apple cider and enjoy all the beautiful colors. When I look out at the falling leaves, I am sometimes reminded that I need to fall deeper in love with Jesus.
When we hear the term “falling for”, what does that mean? It kind of depends on the connotation. Falling for a jok …

Me…….. Move?
While in prayer and devotion time the other day, the Lord dropped a small nugget of truth into my heart. Sometimes we are so concerned with our comfort that we often neglect our necessity. We like things the way we like them. Take for instance, the obese, if you are overweight, in most cases, your situation can be remedied with diet and exercise, and a made up mind. Too often, those of u …

GIVE
Our God is a God of abundance and He loves to give. He sacrificed willingly on the cross and then invited us into fullness of life. As His children, we are called to imitate Him. Our generosity in giving is a demonstration of God’s character and a response to what He has done for us.
(Keep in mind the online giving option deducts 3.1% as a processing fee, you can include the difference if you like.)
