  • Meal Train Team

    A meal train might sound simple, but it plays an important role in our ministry. The goal is to be a blessing to New Life families who need a little extra help after a life-changing event. Having a team of individuals provide a meal four times a week for up to two weeks can really take the stress off of a family. Whether they just brought home a new baby, returned home from a hospital stay, are recovering from an illness or injury, or are grieving the loss of a family member or other significant event, offering the blessing of a meal can be very helpful. "Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me." Matthew 25:40 CEV

  • prayer team

    Our prayer team is set up to be focused on specific prayer needs for individuals and families within New Life. The team is comprised of intercessors, or people who are called to stand in the gap and intervene on behalf of others by way of prayer. They are spiritually strong and seasoned in their faith. These team members uphold confidentiality, are compassionate and led by the Holy Spirit. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. Ephesians 6:18 NIV
