NLEC is Working to Make a Difference

The spirit of God moves us into ACTION to provide direct services of shelter, food, clothing, and job training.  The New Life Evangelistic Center provides over 150,000 meals and sandwiches-- and more than 65,000 nights of emergency overnight shelter every year.  We provide 80,000 social service contacts, helping individuals and families throughout Mid-America with clothing and food through our free stores, fans, blankets, utility assistance, transportation, medical assistance and housing assistance.

1. Homeless Prevention:
NLEC knows: the best way to fight homelessness is to stop it before it starts. When someone's housing status is jeopardized by a crisis situation - i.e. job loss, utility disconnection, or the threat of eviction - NLEC intervenes to help prevent homelessness.

2. Homeless Transformation:
When families and individuals do become homeless, NLEC seeks to foster and fulfill their own motivation to help themselves. When clients show this desire, NLEC equips them with job training, addiction counseling, spiritual guidance, and whatever else they might need to become permanently housed and gainfully employed.

3. Homeless Empowerment and Education:
NLEC's unique on the job training program now only benefits the homeless but the community as a whole. Regular renewable energy fairs where the formerly homeless trainees share renewable energy skills they learn, and have introduced thousands throughout the Midwest to the world of renewable energy. Through www.moreenergy.org and the Here's Help Radio and TV network, staffed by the formerly homeless, educational and informational programming are reaching more people. Now the new 24 hour national Green Satellite Network will teach sustainable living, renewable energy, gardening and much more, providing even more opportunities.
 

NLEC needs the help of special people -- people who share our belief that every human being, made in the image of God, deserves love, respect and a dignified life.  Please take a moment to change the lives of so many hurting people.  Your gift is needed and appreciated by the countless numbers of those in need.
