Global Partners

Trip Team on prayer walk in Budapest, Hungary - 2023

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

New Life Assembly’s Global Partners Team believes strongly in the Great Commission as Christ gave us in Matthew 28. We look to support Global Partners (missionaries) who are fulfilling the Great Commission in some of the following ways: they create culturally relevant curriculum for adults and children, establish churches, train local Pastors and ministry leaders, prepare and train evangelists, provide children, youth and college ministry, and actively and passively combat human trafficking.  Our goal is to partner through prayer, encouragement, and financial support. We currently support over 20 partners in the US and across the globe. Our Global Partners communicate regularly with us, and we are always eager to have them present their ministry in our Sunday services, youth ministry or team meetings.

Our global partnership team is co-led by pastors George and Pam with Amy Kehler as vice-leader

George and Pam have done a lot of work with global partners both here at New Life and elsewhere in their journey. They are passionate about the work our partners do and do their best to ensure they have all the support we can give them. 
My name is Amy Kehler. I have been a part of New Life Church for over 20 years. I have been involved with our Partner team (Missions) for most of that time. I have been on two trips our church has taken to support partners. You go on these trips to help people, and God grows you in ways you might not be stretched at home. I am currently the vice-leader of the Global Partners team. I have the privilege of being the contact person for current and future Global Partners. My passion is to support and encourage our partners as they follow God's calling.

As a congregation we believe missions to be inseparable from the work of God and bringing his Kingdom to every tribe, tongue and nation. Each year it is our desire to send a local team of various ages to assist a Global Partner in their ministry. This may include street outreach, children's ministry, construction, and prayer ministry.
