From The Pastor’s Desk….

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.” Acts 2:17-18

We welcome Pastor Brown Yusuf Kiyimba from Kampala, Uganda to New Life Community Church of Hope. Pastor Brown was affiliated with United Pentecostals Church Int’l and, later, Reconciling Pentecostals Int’l in the past. He desires fellowship with RPI and has expressed interest in re-affiliation. He has come to the headquarters church today to share his message and to share his ministry and talk about the work in the African country of Uganda. As a spirit-filled, 21st century Apostolic church, we must be “mission minded.” Though we have much work to do right here in our own community, we must also remember those who labor across the world. It is our duty to pray for God to strengthen any church that preaches the whole gospel of inclusion. No one should ever be omitted from the opportunity to have the good news gospel presented to them whether on our own soil or lands far away. Please welcome Pastor Brown to our assembly as we open our hearts to hear what God would have us to do to be supportive.

Thank you for being here today.

Pastors Randy and Dan

Happy Anniversary, NLCCH

Twelve years ago 7 men gathered at the pastor’s home for the very first service of what would become New Life Community Church of Hope. We sat in a circle of chairs and shared. We sang a few songs. Pastor Randy preached and a new church was born. We’ve had some wonderful experiences and visitations of God’s power through the years. We have been blessed to hear some great preaching by evangelists, guest pastors and our own pastor/teachers from the home church. We have seen many people come and many go. Those who have remained have become the core group and pillars of NLCCH. Only eternity will tell the full story of the impact this little church in NW Indiana has had on the souls of men, women, boys and girls here locally and around the world. God has been with us every step of the way. We have been blessed to own our own property and church buildings. Very few in the GLBT fellowship have been so blessed as New Life. God has certainly been good to us.

We rejoice today to reach another anniversary. We still preach the only saving gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation. Let us continue to serve the Lord with unity and love. There are many souls that are still to come into the doors of New Life Community Church of Hope.
