Fall Festival 2002!
We had a tremendous turn out on our Fall Festival this past Thursday. The parking lot was full and the carnival area was also jammed packed with adults and children playing games and eating some good food! Considering all the New Life members who didn?t receive the meal tickets but ate the food anyway, I think there were well over 700 people who were there to enjoy the evening!
Peter Lee, our Ministry Team leader, and all the committee members together with every New Life member/attendee who came out have done a marvelous job of putting the event together making it a ...
Must Have Auto Insurance
Several of our church members are suffering due to hit and run accidents. Some cannot get their cars fixed while others are suffering medically due to lack of proper insurance.
We are outraged to hear of such irresponsible hit and run acts but we Christians can also fall into such category of people. When we drive without auto insurance, we become similar people. If our careless driving causes an accident, but not able to compensate the others losses, we are committing the same.
Soon after I received Jesus and full of passion, I thought of driving without auto insuran...
Some Healthy Trends in New Life and Our House Churches!
A few days ago I went into the gym to take a look at the house church attendance chart on the wall in the fellowship area. Other than just a few house churches, many of the house churches are faithfully keeping the attendance for their house church meetings. When I added all the people who had shown up and participated in their house churches during the week of 9/16-22, I came up with about 205 people! This is amazing and I was very pleased by it because it shows a couple of very important and healthy trends that are taking place in New Life.
First, the membership of ...
The Potential Future Site for Our Church!
From the Pastor’s Desk (71)
There is a very strong possibility that our church will purchase 20 acres of land on Hammerly and Brittmore as our church site for the future. In order to decide on this, we will have an emergency New Life family meeting on Sunday, October 6 at 2PM in the Lounge. This may come as a surprise to many of you. So, let me share with you how this came about.
This past February, I had a strong sense and desire from God that we should look for and purchase at least 20 acres of land near I-10 and Beltway 8. Both New Life ...
We Now Have New Team Leaders!
From the Pastor’s Desk (70)
One of the main reasons why New Life is able to continue and thrive in its ministry with just one full-time pastor is because we have extremely faithful and committed team leaders. It is truly astounding how tirelessly they pray for, care about and serve the church with passion and humility. I consider myself very blessed to have such leaders to work with and build up God’s kingdom together.
Many of you may not even know that New Life is organized around seven different ministry teams and the seven different leaders ...
Let’s Rest from Our House Church Ministry in July!
From the Pastor’s Desk (69)
Our Heavenly Father created the heavens and the earth in six days and He rested on the seventh day. He rested not because He was tired from work but to show us an example to follow. Rest, therefore, is God’s idea! And it is so important in our life that He commands us to rest periodically. For example, He commanded His people in the Old Testament to rest one day a week, a Sabbath, one year every seven years, a Sabbatical year, and a Jubilee, the fiftieth year, which brought to a close a cycle of seven Sabbatical ...
Seemingly Insignificant but Extremely Vital Ministries!
From the Pastor’s Desk (68)
June 9, 2002
Many pastors say that Sunday is another workday for them. And they seem to get pretty tired at the end of the day. This is understandable if you know what their Sunday schedule is really like. Often times they teach Sunday school before worship. Then they preside over worship service and preach a sermon. After worship, they meet and talk with the first time guests. Then they finish the day with a couple of meetings with church leaders. By the time they go home, they are pooped!&nb...
