Welcome to New Life Community Church "Where New Life is Found in Christ"

Mission Moments

What is a Faith Promise? Faith promise missions giving is based on two main beliefs: One, that God desires to reach the world with His love; and two, that He will provide the resources needed to do the job. Our part is to prayerfully discern what God would want to provide through us, to prayerfully wait on God’s provision until it comes and then we present it to the church for missions. It is a promise you make in faith, not based on any funds you now have or expect, but on God’s additional provision. Ongoing Missions How important is a monetary gift designated for missions? It may be the difference between keeping a committed missionary in their field of service or require that they return home. Currently we at New Life support monthly three foreign missionaries; Eileen Gasaway (Papua New Guinea), Steve and Carol Johnson (India), and Angel and Malia Hernandez (Paraguay). We also support a number of local ministries on a monthly basis including Love INC, Younglife, KAMB radio and lifeline ministries. Some others we support occasionally as we are able. All appreciate our partnership, and through them, we are making a difference in the world around us. Part of our 2012 budget includes such support for missions, but honestly, the general budget along cannot support all that we could hope to be able to do. This month our challenge is to consider the faith promise giving or simply deciding to set apart some money for the cause of reaching the world. If you do, simply designate the gift for “missions”, and let God do the rest.

Special Night of Music Saturday, February 18th will be an exciting night of music and outreach! We will be hosting a special music concert to benefit our Mexico Outreach team featuring the band Mars Hill Revisited (if the band name sounds odd to you, read Acts 17 about Paul’s speech to the “areopagus” at “Mars Hill” in Athens.). MHR is a Christian band from the Manteca area and they are coming to help raise funds and awareness for our Mexico Outreach team. (Check them out at: www.marshillrevisted.com Or “Mars Hill Revisited” on Facebook.) Also featured this night will be the edgy sound of “We the Simulator”, a local band featuring our Timmy Demma on drums. They will kick things off at 6pm, doors open at 5. There is no admission fee, although we will take up an offering for Mexico Outreach. Invite your friends, your neighbors, your classmates, whoever. Let’s fill the sanctuary up and have a great time. Because of the concert, we will not gather for our regular Saturday evening worship service. Everyone is invited to come to the concert, and also gather for worship together this weekend at 9:00 Sunday morning.
