New Life Centre of Education

September 1, 2022

Here is an update from our friend Sanga who runs New Life Ministry in Shillong, India.

NLCE stands for NEW LIFE CENTRE OF EDUCATION. After 12 years of prayer, labour and deliberation a primary school was opened on the 18th of May 2022 at Langkarcha, a remote village bordering the States of Assam and Meghalaya. The purpose of this centre is for the upliftment of the Langkarcha community and the many non-Christian villages nearby. Currently, the Lucy-Guan Memorial Multi-purpose Center( LGMMC), a building built in memory of our dear friends, Lucy and Guan Chye from Singapore, is being used for this purpose.

In this inaugural academic session, we have 55 children enrolled, ranging from the ages of 4-12 yrs. We have four volunteer teachers with Nelson and Aunty Diana, a dear 78 year old sister in Christ, supervising them. They leave every Monday morning at 5 am on a 3- 4 hour drive to Langkarcha to get school started at 9:30 am. They spend the week at the village and return on Friday after school to make it for the service at City Church, Shillong.

The goal of NLCE is to build an educational institution from the Primary level to either the Higher Secondary or college level. The need, therefore, is for a campus and dedicated fellow believers to serve alongside us through prayer, finances and as staff and ancillary manpower.

As some of the villages are far away, we currently see the need for residential accommodation for the children. Building a second floor at LGMMC would meet this need, so we are working on it to have it ready when school reopens at the beginning of 2023. We also plan to have 4 regular teachers who will be given a salary of Rs 7000/ month.

The primary driving mission of NLCE is to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel”. We believe this educational centre can open up opportunities to fulfil this vision, during our interactions with parents and children who do not yet know the love of Jesus.

If you feel prompted by the Holy Spirit to partner with us in this mission through prayer and/or financial aid, it would be wonderful!
