For almost nine years, NewLife has helped a small inner-city ministry in York, PA, called NewLife Ministries. From the original request to help repair an air conditioner destroyed in a hail of bullets to church classroom furniture and warm clothing for neighborhood children, NewLife continues to be moved by the dedication of Pastor Moses Smith and his wife, Mary, to the community and especially the children of York.

Over the years, the ministry has grown and merged with other ministries in the area to better provide for the people of the area, but the Smith’s devotion to service is as strong today as it was when they first contacted us in 2001.

Recently Mary told us that a local gang member took a NewLife donated shirt, turned it inside out, and put it on. As she related, “Guess what! He landed in Moses class and remembers where he got the shirt!” It seems God always places us exactly where we need to be – even if we don’t think so. Mary asked that we pray for this young man.

About a month ago, we received pictures of some of the youth Mary and Moses work with and their trip to a local Christmas pageant. The ministry took over 40 kids and adults to this program, which was attended by over 1700 people. Below are pictures of the youth wearing our “Rock” T-shirts. Mary says that, “the kids say these shirts are the bomb”. We’re not sure, but we think it means they really like them! Take a look at these photos and see what you think.
