New Life Evangelistic Center Inc

General Information
Who we serve:
We serve people in throughout Missouri and around the world. NLEC provides over 150,000 meals and sandwiches, and more than 65,000 nights of emergency overnight shelter every year. We provide 80,000 social service contacts — helping individuals and families throughout Mid-America with clothing and food through our free stores, fans, blankets, utility assistance, transportation, medical assistance, and housing assistance. The millions of people we serve in the Midwest and around the world include homeless men, women and children, the poor, the elderly, and families in our communities overwhelmed by the need to provide the basic necessities, and earthquake and hurricane survivors. NLEC has branches in India and Africa and has long-standing partnerships with organizations in more than 10 countries including Haiti.

Why we serve:
The spirit of God moves us into action to provide direct services of shelter, food, clothing, and job training. Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, we serve alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people.

Homeless Prevention:
NLEC knows that the best way to fight homelessness is to stop it before it starts. When someone’s housing status is jeopardized by a crisis situation, such as a job loss, utility disconnection, or the threat of eviction, NLEC intervenes to help prevent homelessness.

Homeless Transformation:
When families and individuals become homeless, NLEC seeks to foster and fulfill their own motivation to help themselves. When clients show this desire, NLEC equips them with job training, addiction counseling, spiritual guidance, and whatever else they might need to become permanently housed and gainfully employed.

Homeless Empowerment and Education:
NLEC's job training program benefits both homeless individuals and the community. Regular renewable energy fairs, where the formerly homeless trainees share renewable energy skills they learn, have introduced thousands throughout the Midwest to the world of renewable energy. Through Missouri Renewable Energy and the Here’s Help Radio and TV network, staffed by the formerly homeless, educational and informational programming is reaching more people. And, the nationwide Renewable Energy Satellite network teach sustainable living, renewable energy, gardening, and much more — providing even more opportunities.
