BACK TO THE FUTURE

An Invitation to Remember - A Responsibility to Pursue

 

1976.....

• Jimmy Carter becomes President

• The United States celebrates it's Bi-Centenial

• Gymnast Nadia Comăneci scored the first perfect 10 at the Summer Olympics in Montreal.

New Horizons Ministries was born.....

 

Fifty Years - 

• Fifty years of reaching young people

• Fifty years of leading souls to Christ

• Fifty years of impacting families of all ages

 

Fifty Years brings with it an invitation to remember.  We remember all the Lord has done from the inception of this ministry until today. We remember how He has provided for us in big ways and small. We remember how He showed up in miraculous ways....Providing a van through local churches when we didn't know how we were going to get young people to the retreat. Providing counselors when we had more kids than staff. Providing a speaker - when the one we booked decided to back out at the last minute.  We remember and celebrate His provision.

 

But in remembering His provision - we must accept the responsibility to pursue this assignment until He returns.  We are compelled to continue to grow and progress so that our impact on the campers of today is as relevant and revolutionary as in times past.  We don't take this moment to simply look back....We take this moment to recommit ourselves to fulfilling our leg of the journey.  We stand fully grounded in the promises of Philippians 1:6 -  Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

 

I pray you can join us this year as we not only stop to remember ....but reengage to pursue the purposes of God for this ministry.  We will pursue the souls in our care.  We will pursue the territories He has ordained.  This year as we go "Back" we have the "Future" in mind!

 

With Love,
