Whatever Gift You Have Received

Welcome to the latest New Community Church Blog!

The bible tells us in I Peter 4:10, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."

Together with our partners at Pioneers Africa, we are doing our best to put this into practice.  Pioneers missionaries and NCC members, each using their various gifts have brought villagers medical and dental care, started a water business together, and for just one short week, we will give you a peek into the latest venture in our partnership with Pioneers Africa:  A Pastor's Discipleship Conference in Accra, Ghana.

This joint undertaking is the culmination of an existing conference held by Pioneers' every year, brought together with Hollis's love for teaching discipleship, Dan's excitement for teaching leadership and David Yebuah's passion for caring for his missionaries.  It is a manifestation of many parts of the body of Christ coming together to do his purposes; each of us "using the gifts we have received to serve others".

One of my favorite things to watch as a Christian is how God so beautifully weaves the tapestry He is creating.  He is a master craftsman.  Each of us is but one tiny thread; such a part of the tapestry, that we cannot yet see it's full glory, but can only imagine what it will look like some day.

Use your gifts, follow His will.  If you aren't aware of what those gifts are, I dare you to step out of your comfortable place and into the weaver's hands.  Let Him have your whole heart and the Holy Spirit will take you on an amazing adventure to show you what your gifts are!

We take off on our adventure tomorrow at 4:30pm.  Please pray for God to prepare the way and to give us safe travels.
