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.

Happy Thanksgiving Hitmen–& a Few More

Greeting Hitmen,

I hope you are all well and this message finds you in preparation of your post-t6urkey dinner, tryptophan induced coma!  I wanted to take a brief moment to remind you all that there will NOT be a December MAFIA meeting this year.  Rather, we want all of you to enjoy your time with your families and consider taking some time to help those among us who are less fortunate. We will return in January with some exciting news regarding MAFIA in 2011.

I’m sure you all know that this time of year is hard for many folks whether they are divorced, estranged, without loved ones or in need because of limited finances or work circumstances etc.  My guess is that some of you may even fall in to this category to some degree.  I just wanted to take a moment to encourage you to share it with God, and possibly one of your MAFIA brothers.  It isn’t always an easy thing having so much responsibility on our shoulders and the Lord knows we could all use a friend.

I also want to ask each of you to keep John and Debbie Craft in your prayers.  Debbie had bypass surgery a week ago and while she is doing quite well post-op, the road to recovery after such invasive surgery is long.  Join me in lifting them in prayer.

Lastly, I want to share with each of you a need that has been passed along to me from Libby Moix, the single mothers ministry sponsor.  Libby has advised that one of her volunteers, and a single mother herself, is in need of some “honey Do’s” after the Thanksgiving holiday.  Specifically, she needs some help with:

  • Placing a new light fixture put up in stairway...high ceiling will require a tall ladder
  • Fixing two broken cabinets, door facing needs to be glued
  • Hanging three coat hooks on a wall

If after your turkey day feast you have it on your heart to help out this sister, please give me a call.  Under the circumstances, we would like to have two men go together to help out in getting these tasks accomplished.  To volunteer, please call my cell at 501/944-0562 or email me at lribich@asigllc.com.

In His service,

Luke Ribich
