There are nine major crises in life: 1.) Birth, 2.) Death, 3.) Marriage, 4.) Conversion, 5.) Unemployment,
6.) Sickness, 7.) Old Age, 8.) Death, 9.) Spiritual Emergency. Everybody goes through from five to nine of these crisis in their lifetime.
The pastor is the shepherd of the flock. But with a church the size of ours, it becomes impossible for him to give the continual help that is often needed when so many others need attention at the same time. That is why helpers are needed, not to take the pastor’s place, but to step in and show a loving interest, a friendly concern and understanding to the one going through the crisis time. Then, at the proper time, the pastor is called to fulfill his ministry of shepherding the one in need.
At New Life, these helpers are called “Crisis Ministry – Care Groups.” They are primarily the elders and deacons of the church. The role of the Crisis Ministry – Care Group is to meet the needs of people during their times of crisis.
We have assigned a Crisis Ministry - Care Group to each family in the church; one in whom you can have confidence and who will stand with you during every time of crisis in the lives of you and your family.
