In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:16-17
Fishers of Men
The Lord has called us to be fishers of men in the prisons, and this year He has given us a new bait: greeting cards. That's right. Ordinary greeting cards. It's a little unconventional as an outreach tool, but it's working! Giving a man a card he can then send a daughter on her birthday, or a mother who is grieving her sister's death, meets an important need, and provides a vital opportunity for us to witness the love of Jesus to the lost and broken men in prison.
If you have any cards at all that you could give, we need them! Perhaps, a charity has sent you a set of cards, or you have a birthday card or thank you card you didn't end up sending? Even your leftover Christmas cards are needed, because we want to make those available for the men to send next Christmas.
If you have any questions about this outreach, contact us via This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , Facebook, or call us at (978) 374-5692. If you have cards ready to give, they may be mailed to:
New Brothers Fellowship
P.O. Box 307
Haverhill, MA 01833
Please, share this opportunity to help with friends at school, work, and church. Men are starting to ask for mailable Valentine's Day cards, too. We are hoping to get at least 100.
So Loved!
Our Quarterly NBF Night is February 3rd, at Salem Wesley Church. We hope our local friends will be there, and we hope you'll bring a friend. It will be a wonderful night for the Body of Christ to come together to worship the Lord and hear of the great things God is doing in prison. For details, please click here: So Loved! A Quarterly NBF Night
Until Next Week
Just a reminder of the NBF Prayer page, for requests and praise reports. Know that our prayers are always with you, and we always welcome your prayer requests. We also want to be sure our financial donors know their end-of-year tax receipts will be arriving soon.
We hope you are all well and blessed. We thank God for you!
In Christ alone,
Doug, Caroline & Hannah Gregan
