Church Website
The New Life Christian Center of Orange County in southern California was established in April 2000. At the time, Pastor Andrew Chen received God’s calling to build a church in North America that is different from others, a cell group based church that has a specific mission and spurs revival. Their vision is to become a glorious church that is full of love, passing the torch down to generations, filled with compassion and focused on mission. Currently they have Mandarin, English, young adult, and youth cell groups to fit everyone’s needs. The cell groups spread out in Los Angeles, Irvine, Temple City and Monterey Park, where there are dense Chinese populations. Their ministries focus on the family, marriage, parent child relationship, and prayers for healing. The purpose of this is to create a church for brothers and sisters to love God and love others, and to equip disciples and cultivate a strong next generation. At the same time their emphasis is on raising a compassionate church to care for the needy and injured in society. They planted two branch churches in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, to care for the local Chinese immigrants and preach the gospel to them. Later, they also preached the gospel to the locals and expanded a Hispanic Mexico branch- Santa Ana campus.
位於南加州Irvine的橙縣新生命靈糧堂成立於2000年 4月，當時陳正榮牧師領受神的呼召要在北美建立一個與眾不同的教會，一個負有特定使命、帶動復興的小組型教會。他們的異像是要成為一個充滿熱愛、代代相傳、滿有憐憫及注重宣教的榮耀教會。目前他們有中文、英文、社青及青少年等適合每個人的小組，分佈在洛杉磯、Irvine南北各地及華人眾多的天普市及蒙特利公園市。他們非常重視家庭、婚姻、親子、醫治禱告等方面的事工，該堂小組事工的目的是要造就新生命的弟兄姐妹愛神愛人，並裝備門徒與栽培健壯的下一代，同時他們的重心也在興起一個滿有憐憫的教會，關心社會中有需要和受傷的人。他們成立了國際愛鄰公益協會，義務為所有移民提供服務，並在墨西哥的首都墨西哥市成立了兩間分堂，關心當地的華人移民，同時向他們傳講福音，後在也向當地人傳福音，並拓植了一間西裔的墨西哥分堂-聖塔安娜牧區。希望透過此可以傳福音給當地的西裔居民，讓他們認識神。
partner in prayer:
Please pray for the church's upcoming happiness cell group ministries. They will start 7 happiness cell groups in 3 campuses at the same time. Please pray God to use each happiness cell group to spread the gospel and pass on God's love and power, leading more people to believe in Jesus and experience God's blessing and transforming power.
請為教會即將開始的幸福小組事工代禱。他們將同時於3個牧區，開始7個幸福小組，期待神能使用每一個幸福小組，傳揚福音與傳遞神的愛與大能，帶領更多人信主且經歷神的祝福與轉化的大能。
We also pray for local needs. May the church be able to serve the community through community care, children's ministry, food supply, medical assistance or other ways, so that the gospel will not only be words, but also practical love and action. May your light illuminate this land, so that more people will turn to you and know your wonderful grace.
Lord, please raise up local believers so that they can be the salt and light of the Mexican community and witness your power in their families, workplaces, and circles of friends. Please raise up spiritual leaders to help this community build a solid foundation of faith so that the gospel can continue to be spread and influence more generations.
我們也為當地的需要禱告，求祢讓教會能夠透過社區關懷、兒童事工、食物供應、醫療幫助或其他方式來服事這個社區，使福音不僅是話語，更是實際的愛與行動。願祢的光照亮這片土地，使更多人歸向祢，認識祢奇妙的恩典。
主啊，求祢興起當地的信徒，使他們成為墨西哥社區的鹽和光，讓他們在自己的家庭、職場與朋友圈中見證祢的大能。求祢興起屬靈的領袖，幫助這個社區建立堅固的信仰根基，使福音能夠持續傳揚，影響更多世代。
Please grant the existing team strength and grace so that they will not get tired in their service, but will be renewed and joyful because of your love. Please help the team to be of one mind, support each other, and serve in love, not just relying on their own abilities, but completely looking to Your provision and guidance.
求祢賜給現有的團隊力量與恩典，使他們在服事中不疲乏，反而因祢的愛而得著更新與喜樂。求祢幫助團隊彼此同心合意，彼此扶持，在愛中服事，不單單倚靠自己的能力，而是完全仰望祢的供應與帶領。
