About the New Life Church Men's MAFIA Ministries:

“…but among you it should be quite different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must become your slave. For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:26-28 (NLT)

The New Life Church Men's MAFIA (Men After Faith, Integrity & Action) is a Christian fellowship of brothers-in-Christ dedicated to supporting each another, the NLC congregation and the community-at-large through service outreach (H.I.T.S. – Helping in the Spirit) , masculine accountability & encouragement, discipleship and prayer ministries.

HIT Opportunities – Storm Clean-up

Greetings Hitmen,

We are reaching out to our Hitmen seeking support for some for our dear brethren who are affected from last weeks storms.  The Bentley house took a major hit last week when the storms came thru. They had a huge oak tree fall on their house making it uninhabitable. Some of their family helped to cleaning up some of the mess but it is going to be a long hard job. It was about an 80 mph wind that took the tree down and placed it in their den and bedroom. God watched out for and protected them as nobody was injured. When the roof collapsed Duwayne was standing in the only place in the room that held up. He is confident that God’s hand was holding him fast. At this time I don’t know what all they may need. Just wanted you to know about their situation so you could consider helping them as you are Spirit led. Please pray for them as they wade through this thing.

If you are able bodied and want to assist them, please feel free to contact them at the following numbers and let them know you represent the NLC Men’s MAFIA and want to help out:

Duwayne Bentley 501/351-2117

Emma Lou Bentley 501/690-1735

HITMEN Wanted–Hit Opportunity

Greetings Hitme,

I wanted to make you all aware that we are looking for some Hit support assisting one of our single mothers in a move on Saturday March 27th. Jennifer Desilva is moving from Jacksonville to NLR and needs a few strong bodies to assist her in this.  She has rented a truck and the Hit scout (Dean Fagaly) has indicated that he believes this can be done easily in the morning keeping the rest of your day free.

If you have time and are led to assist Jennifer in this move, please contact Dean Fagaly via email at  javbike26@att.net or on his cell at 501/951-5974 – he will advise of the plan and schedule for Saturday morning.

In His service,

NLC Man2Man Conference

Greetings Hitmen,

I just wanted to remind each of you that on Wednesday March 30th from 6:30-8:30 PM at the GLR campus, New Life Church will hold the Man2Man event.  Our own Rick Bezet has a significant word just for the men of NLC and you don’t want to miss it!

There will be a hot rod automobile and motorcycle display on the apron of the main entrance an in the church lobby.  There will be a meal served and of course an excellent opportunity to fellowship all the men of NLC.

The event will be MC’d by John Craft and Harry Bates – that alone should be shtick worth seeing!  I look forward to seeing you all there and keep your eyes peeled for some upcoming hit opportunities.
