One of the dreams that I have for New Life is to become a centre for prayer- 24/7. I would love to have people who come and pray for a few hours each week and collectively raise up a constant stream of intercession to the Lord every day and night of the year.
At the moment this is beyond our ability, but one day, by the grace of God, we will get to that place.
In the meantime, several times a year we have a Weekend of Prayer. The idea is that for just one weekend we try to cover about 36 hours of continuous prayer. At times we come close to that goal, but other times not so close. People sign up for just one or two hours in the course of a weekend and spend those hours praying, seeking the Lord and interceding for our church, our community and our nation.
If you would like to be a part of our next Prayer Weekend, please go to our sign-up page.
New Life Christian Fellowship Narrabri started in 1996 as the result of a small group of people responding to the call of God to start something new. We believe that there is a need for a new style of church as we head towards the new millennium.
Our pastors, Keith and Margaret Bates, previously served as ministers in the Uniting Church in Australia. The path of the Uniting Church towards an unbiblical tolerance of sexual impurity was a factor in leaving the denomination. But our main concern was to follow the call of God to establish a new church.
Numerous prophecies have been spoken over us indicating that God wants to send a great revival to this nation and in particular to the town of Narrabri. We have a vision of building a church of 1,000 members over time.
The great concern that we have as a church is to establish a community of believers who are able to demonstrate the unconditional love of God through words, actions, attitudes and prayer.
God is alive! God is powerful! God is holy and loving.
