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.

Spring 2010 Cross-Ministry HIT Opportunities Revealed

Greeting HITMEN,

Spring is finally here and everywhere we look we are finding things to do with and for people. Expanding our opportunities to serve the local area with our HITS is the NLC Arkansas Dream Center, which is really starting to take place. Serving at the Dream Center is an awesome adventure which allows each of us to be a part of God’s work as we participate and watch our community be transformed right before our very eyes.

With the busy weekend just getting underway, I wanted to just give you guys a shout about a few quick things.

  • First is the Christian Endeavors for Outreach (C.E.O.), led by Jeff & Melissa Allison. Jeff & Melissa are spearheading much of the local mission outreach, this includes several of the Arkansas Dream Center projects. Their next meeting will be Saturday, April 24th, at the Allison house (127 Scenic Valley Loop in Maumelle) at 6:30 PM. You won't want to miss it because they will be talking about a couple of cool projects coming up on May.
  • Second is NLC’s Adopt-a-Highway plan. The Arkansas Highway Dept has approved the church’s application to adopt the mile that begins at Counts Massie Rd (in front of the old church bldg on Maumelle Blvd.) and heads toward the current church bldg. We should have a sign up before too long. So plan on getting actively involved in keeping Arkansas, and our local community, beautiful.

Remember to wear your MAFIA shirts as you participate in these HIT opportunities as it encourages our brothers in Christ to get off the sidelines and into the game! Besides, the more hands involved in a project, the lighter the work, and greater the joy and fellowship.  If you don’t have a MAFIA shirt be sure to get one at next month’s meeting on May 13th at 6:30 PM (GLR Campus).

I want to encourage each of you to give give these service options a try and put next Saturdays C.E.O. meeting on your calendar. Together the ministries of NLC are going to make this Spring something people will be talking about for a long time.

In His service,

Luke Ribich
