Why Give?
For us, giving is about much more than simply paying bills. There is something deeper to the "why we give." Here are five reasons we believe our generosity matters:
-
Our generous hearts are a direct response to how generous God has been to us.
-
Generous people can change the lives of people in Northeast Michigan and beyond- it is an honor that God invites us to partner with him in changing lives.
-
Generosity shows that we truly want to love like Jesus loved and establishes the right priorities in our lives.
-
When we are generous, our focus in on helping and serving others. Jesus taught us that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
-
Giving is one of the key ways we worship God. Being generous with what God has blessed us with is an absolute privilege and to be done with a grateful heart.

When I give at New Life, where does the money go?
Giving at New Life helps find international mission work and local ministries that we know and trust, as well as covering our own staff and operating expenses. (Our building is completely paid for, so operating expenses includes things like utilities, light bulbs, kid's curriculum, building maintenance, goldfish crackers and more).
We partner with:
-
New Life, Bangladesh, a network for churches that live out their faith in Jesus Christ in this predominately Muslim nation.

Through Turning Hearts Ministries we support a Messianic Jewish Congregation at Be'erSheva, Israel in partnership with PJ and Kathy Hanley of Banner of Love Ministries in New York. Here is an excerpt from a recent newsletter:
"The Spanish speaking Jewish population in Negev is growing. They have given up their lives in all the countries of Central and South America to make Aliyah to Israel. They have been brought back to their homeland by the Lord Himself in fulfillment of His promise (Obad 1:20). But life in Israel is not easy. The cost of living is high and they are generally on the low end of the labor force. To illustrate, only two or three families out of the congregation are able to own a vehicle. Therefore the continue to need outside to survive and be effective in the ministry. Turning Hearts, with the help of First Baptist Church of Kingston NY and New Life Christian Fellowship, Alpena Michigan, supports the Montenegro family with $600 a month. We are much honored to be able tos ow into this work in Be'erSheva and throughout the nation. The Montenegro family and our sister church in Be'erSheva, are very grateful for the help they receive. May God continue to bless them as well as those of you who support this work!"
