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.

Hot HIT Request

Greetings Hitmen & Happy New Year,

Many of you whom have been with NLC for more than a couple of years may know Aaron & Darla Yount.  They have been long time members of our church and lifted many within the body in times of need.

Sadly, Aaron dies last week of a massive stroke very unexpectedly and Darla can use our help with some minor things ASAP.  Specifically, we need to get a crew together to clean the leaves from her yard for this Saturday.  I need about 10 volunteers to help us clear leaves and pine needles from her yard.  We will meet at Kerries Country Kitchen at 0700 this Saturday morning for breakfast and fellowship then we will head to Darla’s house.

The lot is about 1/2 acre located in West Little Rock.  I don't see the leaves taking much time. However, there are a lot of pine needles, quite a lot. Our plan is to use some tarps, rake those needles, and leaves, onto the tarps and dump them across the street, where there are some woods. Although we will have some materials we need Hitmen to bring their own rakes, or electric blowers and extension cords.  Just remember that pine needles don’t work well with blowers and we will still have dispose of the leaves.  If everyone brings whatever bags they have around their house we should have more than enough if we have to bag everything.

Jay Foster is the point-man for this Hit. So that we can plan accordingly we are sincerely asking any of you who can help out to let us know that you plan to attend.  You can email me at lribich@swbell.net or telephone at 501/944-0562.  Jay can be reached directly via email at fosterjn@swbell.net.  Again, please let one of us know so that we will know what to expect in terms of our time. 

If you are unable to come to Kerries for breakfast but are interested in joining us at Darla’s home, the house is at 13280 Sweet Bay Dr., near the corner of Kirby and Sweet Bay, behind Kohl's in WLR

Please help us show this wonderful woman of God that she is loved and covered by the men of NLC in her husband’s eternal absence. Obviously, the more the merrier – and the quicker so I for one pray for a large turn-out.

In His service,

Luke Ribich
