Simplifying the Fall Retreat Registration Process
From the Pastor’s Desk (306)
In past years, as the fall retreat registration period rolled around, I often told New Life that it might be our last retreat as a whole church because our congregation was growing and Camp Allen’s capacity was limited. However, we have been able to continue holding our church-wide retreat every year because Camp Allen keeps expanding and building more lodges.
Each time registration begins, I watch our Maturity Team work tirelessly and meticulously to assign lodges based on everyone's needs and preferences. But we have reached a ...
Shepherds will and must share your condition with the senior pastor
From the Pastor’s Desk (303)
(This is a letter I wrote to all the participants of the House Church Pastors Conference on Friday night.)
“Whenever I traveled to lead a revival meeting or attend a conference, I used to head straight home like clockwork as soon as the schedule ended. The reason was simple: I couldn’t justify staying an extra day or two for sightseeing after the work was done, and I always had duties waiting for me starting Monday. In addition, when attending non-House Church conferences where accommodations were not pre-arranged by the hosting ...
Very important dates to remember in 2026
From the Pastor’s Desk (301)
The Scripture tells us that the church is Jesus’ bride, Jesus’ body, and God’s family. This definition has significant implications for our lives, because who we are determines what we do.
Since the church is God’s family, we are all members of that family. Family members eat together, do life together, and serve together to provide for, protect, and build up their family.
Therefore, I would like all of us to put these important dates on our calendars and remember to participate in them accordingly as good family members. ...

Happy New Year, New Life!
I have shared this with you several times before, but in 2012, towards the end of the House Church Seminar for Pastors, I prayed to God: “God, I will do whatever You ask me to do in spreading house church ministry, as long as the invitation doesn’t conflict with New Life’s schedule.” It’s been almost 13 years since I prayed that prayer, and I believe I have been faithful to God in keeping the promise I made to Him.
This year will be a full and eventful one for our church. Please mark these ...
The Tabernacle Was Built
Dear Parents,
Thirteen of the last sixteen chapters of the Book of Exodus contain instructions for building the tabernacle. The word tabernacle means “dwelling place.” The tabernacle was a portable tent where God met with His people. God wanted to dwell among them. (See Ex. 29:45-46.)
Moses had been on the mountain talking with God for 40 days. God wrote the Ten Commandments, the words of the covenant, on tablets. When Moses returned to the camp, he called all of the Israelites together and gave them the instructions God had given him. (Ex. 24:3-4)
God’s ...
All 76 House Churches Multiplying in Three Years!
I don’t have three year, five year or ten year
plan. I never had and I don’t think I ever will. It’s because I am not a
visionary and the future is in God’s hands. As I look back the past 21 plus
years of New Life’s ministry and history, I think I have tried to be faithful
in doing what I am called to do one day, one week, one month and at most one
year at a time.
Just recently, however, I have sensed God impressing
upon my heart with this thought, “Eric, I want you to challenge your house
church shepherds and members to go all out in reaching out to VIPs ...
