New Life Family Church has had a strong involvement with Global Missions since its founding in 1926. Of special interest were the Assemblies of God Overseas Mission areas in India, China and the then Belgian Congo. Financial aid was sent to the Mission personnel in these and other countries.
Two of NLFC’s previous Pastors were Missionaries in Central Africa before taking on Pastoral ministry with the Church. The late Arthur Blythe, and Eddie Rowlands now retired but still active within New Life with his wife Heather.
We aim to give a least 10% of the Church’s regular income away each year to both overseas and local mission projects.
