New Life Family Church is a Spirit filled church in Kangayam, Tamilnadu, India.

The Lord planted NLF Church in Kangayam in August 1985. We began then with just a few believers.

Starting as a small House Church, this body of Christ has grown steadily in the understanding and experience of the New Covenant Life in the Spirit. We were given a clear vision from God about our prophetic calling as a church in Kangayam. And we have tried our best in these past decades, not to get distracted from it.

NLF’s burden was to spread New Covenant truths to every people and church-group around the Kangayam. But there are many believers in many churches opposed us and our message, and closed their doors to us. But we are determined to do our best to ensure that the preaching of the God’s Word and worked hard towards the end until the Lord returns. This brought in a flood of responses from believers in many churches – not only across India but from all over the world – who listened to these messages and whose lives were transformed.

By the grace of God, we have held to these new-covenant standards, right from the beginning. We have faced much opposition and criticism from other Christian groups and churches because of our strong stand on new-covenant standards. But we know what we are standing for – and we will continue to stand firm for these principles until the Lord returns.

All our elders support themselves financially just like the apostle Paul did. Paul did receive occasional gifts from some believers. But he was never dependent on anyone’s gifts for his personal needs or for his ministry. He trusted his heavenly Father to supply all of that. This is the stand we have taken too – and it is an integral part of our vision.

Many have come to Christ and been added to our church in past years. And thus God has also planted new churches in the cities and villages of Tamilnadu. Because we have a specific calling from God in NLF, we do not get involved with other ministries (such as social work) that might draw away our energies from our primary calling.

In NLF, we encourage all our younger brothers to be wholehearted, so that God can give grace to some of them to become leaders for the churches in the coming days. Because we are a growing church, we have a great responsibility towards the new believers who have joined us and also towards the many children who have grown up in our midst and become adults. All of them need to be made disciples. New converts and growing children are both signs of a healthy, growing church. The new believers whom God has brought into our midst and our grown-up children are now our new field of work.

We believe that we provide an environment where you can feel loved, meet with the God who loves you unconditionally and grow in your relationship with Him and others.

“Pay close attention to the specific ministry that you were given by the Lord and make sure you fulfill that” (Col.4:17).
