New Life Centers Connecting young people and their families with Christ and Community through life-on-life relationships. Creating the Beloved Community together!
(1)

The Beloved Community is a global vision envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a society where all people share in the wealth of the earth creating authentic community. It is a vision achieved through nonviolent resistance of the injustices that divide us and proactive commitment to right relationship with each other. It means that no one is left out of creating the community, so we go out of our way to center the people who our systems often exclude. For us at New Life Centers, that means especially centering the leadership and voices of young people in our communities.

The holidays are almost here, and a lot of Chicago families are deciding between groceries and everything else. Winter makes that choice even harder.

Last year, Giselle, a mom of four, was one of them. When our Resource Center delivered a box of essentials to her home, she was able to use the little money she had to buy a space heater instead.

This year, other families are facing that same choice, and your donations help fill the boxes we deliver. Our Amazon Wish List includes diapers, hats, scarves, warm socks, thermal blankets, towels, and hygiene items. Each item goes into a box like Giselle’s.

Pick one during November, and it ships straight to our warehouse. Our team will get it to a family who needs it. 💛

Se acercan las festividades de fin de año, y muchas familias de Chicago tienen que elegir entre comprar alimentos o cubrir otras necesidades basicas. El invierno hace que esa elección sea aún más difícil.

El año pasado, Giselle, madre de cuatro hijos, se encontró en esta situación. Cuando nuestro Centro de Recursos le entregó una caja con productos de higiene, ella pudo destinar el poco dinero que tenía a comprar un calefactor.

Este año, mas familias se enfrentan a la misma situación, y tu donativo nos ayudan a completar las cajas que entregamos. Nuestra lista de deseos en Amazon incluye pañales, gorros, bufandas, calcetines abrigados, mantas térmicas, toallas y artículos de higiene. Cada uno de estos productos se incluye en una caja como la que recibió Giselle.

Elige un artículo durante el mes de noviembre; se enviará directamente a nuestro almacén y nuestro equipo se encargará de hacérselo llegar a cada familia que lo necesite. 💛

It was beautiful to spend Monday evening with friends from across Chicagoland, praying for our immigrant community. New Life Centers and New Life Community Church joined World Relief Chicagoland and local churches for a candlelight vigil outside the federal courthouse at Ida B. Wells and Clark. 🙏 🕯️

Together, we prayed for everyone to have a fair day in court, including men and women who were told to follow the legal process and have done exactly that. As we cry out to God for a fair and humane immigration process, we’ll keep showing up for these families. We want them to know they have a community standing with them. ⚖️ 🫂

El lunes por la tarde nos reunimos con amigos de toda el área metropolitana de Chicago en una vigilia por nuestra comunidad inmigrante. New Life Centers y New Life Community Church nos unimos a World Relief Chicagoland y a otras iglesias locales para orar a la luz de las velas frente a la Corte de Inmigración, en la intersección de Ida B. Wells y Clark de Chicago.

Estuvimos orando para que cada persona tenga una oportunidad justa de presentar su caso ante un juez, incluidos los hombres y mujeres que han seguido la vía legal, tal como se les indicó.

Mientras clamamos a Dios por un proceso migratorio justo y humano, seguiremos acompañando a estas familias que han llegado a Chicago desde otros países. Queremos que sepan que aquí cuentan con una comunidad que está a su lado.

Children love a good story. Recently, young people and families in our Humboldt Park programs enjoyed an afternoon of storytelling and delicious Latin American food.

Through a collection featuring our Puerto Rican, Mexican, Colombian, Ecuadorian, and Venezuelan neighbors, they learned about the experiences of people in their community. Our young people were captivated by stories of children crossing the Darién Gap, families finding their way in a new culture, and a girl determined to pursue her dreams while living with a hip condition.

Thank you to Rich in Faith and Legendary Communities for creating this collection and sharing it with our programs. These stories gave our young people a chance to get to know their neighbors better and see how much they have in common. 💚

A los niños les encantan las buenas historias. Recientemente, jóvenes y familias de nuestros programas en Humboldt Park disfrutaron de una tarde de historias y deliciosa comida latinoamericana.

La colección reunió relatos de nuestros vecinos puertorriqueños, mexicanos, colombianos, ecuatorianos y venezolanos. Los jóvenes quedaron cautivados al escuchar sobre niños que cruzaron el Tapón del Darién, familias adaptándose a una nueva cultura y una niña decidida a cumplir sus sueños a pesar de tener una condición en la cadera.

Gracias a Rich in Faith y Legendary Communities por crear esta colección y compartirla con nuestros programas. Sus historias contribuyen a que nuestros jóvenes y familias conozcan mejor a sus vecinos y descubran cuántas cosas tienen en común. 💚
