I was so pleased with the response from people after Sunday’s Year 51 vision message. I encourage EVERYONE to go to the website http://www.newlifecc.us/ and listen to the message if you missed it or were serving in the back.
As we seek God for the next 40 days, to the end of 2010, to see what role we are all to play in Year 51; keep one thing in mind: This journey is much like my families’ personal journey that led us to Marion.

We started by saying “Perhaps, the Lord will” take us to Indiana to a moment when we took the word “perhaps” off and knew He was leading us here. We seized the divine moment that was in front of us and have never looked back!
This IS a divine moment that New Life must choose to seize!! The word “perhaps” can now be taken off. I know now, like I did when we came here, that this is the Lord’s will when it comes to the direction of New Life Community Church.
We know there is a harvest of children which brings a harvest of families waiting for us
We know we will become the best place at taking care of kids on the Westside of Marion and grow from there
We know this happens if we decide to start being the church instead of going to church and make necessary changes for the future like…
…Stopping Fall Block Party and Starting a Three Block Party
…Stop Mentoring Adults only and Start Mentoring Kids, Youth and Adults
…Stopping Sunday PM Service and Starting Sunday PM Home Groups, Family Nights and All-Church Equipping Nights
This means taking steps of risk and faith by us all.
Who will open their home on January 16th to be one of the first Home Groups?
Who will commit time getting to know the people of our 3 block radius on a consistent basis?
Who will be a part of our After School Program the next school year?
Who will release their talents, gifts, resources, treasures, abilities and yes money into the vision of mentoring kids and youth and creating a Community Center on our campus or giving new coats or socks or uniforms or blankets or…
Do you see the great need?
Do not choose to look at this as a gigantic task but look at this as a task that our gigantic God as asked us to take on!
I believe in you all!
In HIM,
Pastor David
