Sasebo City is home to one of the U. On April 18, 2001, Christians who were hungry for the Word of God were led by Pastor Melinda in what would later become weekly held Bible Studies. Brother Ariel and Sister Carol Danetaras, who lived in the Naval housing, graciously offered their place. The first Sunday Worship Service of New Life Christian Fellowship (NLCF) was held on August 4, 2002 at the Ha
rio Community Center. However, after three months, they transferred to the Main Base Chapel to reach out to more military personnel and their families. By early May of 2006, the Capistrano family, as a regular facet of military life, left Sasebo, Japan. In order to continue the ministry established in Sasebo, "New Life Ministries Donsol International, Inc." was registered in the Philippines on May 29, 2006. SEC Registration Number CN 200608136. Since then, New Life Ministries Donsol Int'l has started and continues to fund feeding programs and a children's ministry in partnership with local pastors and committed Chrisitian workers. New Life conducts Medical and Dental Missions as well. Pastor Melinda ministers through preaching and teaching the Word of God on the radio and at home Bible Studies. She resides in Jacksonville, Florida with her husband, Dom and daughter, Ruth.
