Who are we?
New Beginnings is a wellness ministry established in 2003 to offer a holistic approach to fitness that includes mind, body and spirit. A wellness ministry also serves to help people help themselves through physical and spiritual exercise and health education. At New Beginnings we believe good health is a gift from God and can be obtained by following biblical principles as we lead a balanced life physically, mentally, spiritually and relationally.
What’s New?
Reminder-2007 Name Change and Directed Focus
Effective January 1, 2007, officially changed our name from New Beginnings Health and Fitness Ministries, Inc. to New Beginnings Holistic Fitness Ministries, Inc. It is our desire to minister to the total person mind, body and spirit. You will find that as a ministry we are leaning more toward holistic fitness than health so we wanted our name to reflect who we really are. We pray that with our name change and our directed focus you will see and hear things from us that bless you and your relationships. Our truest desire is to see people set free from the things that the enemy has attempted to use to keep us bound.
New Beginnings Theme-“Your Past Is Not Your Future” 2 Corinthians 5:17
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! We are serving notice on the enemy that we are tearing his kingdom down. We want to encourage you that if you have not already begun to see yourself as the very creation of God start today. Go to our website. Read some of the articles to encourage yourself. Listen and subscribe to the podcasts and be encouraged in knowing that you are not the only one who has ever been where you are, even better than that get some encouragement from the success of others. Write on the message board http://mynewtemple.org/aMessages.html so you can hear and share what is going on with you and what is going on in the lives of others.

Upcoming Events
New Beginnings Podcasts
We hope you had the opportunity to check out the new Podcasts. Last month we dealt with the topics, “I Love Me Some Me” and “If The Bible Says, A Man That Finds A Wife Finds A Good Thing, Why Are Men Backing Up” from the male and female perspectives. We have received some positive feedback on both and look forward to hearing what you have to say. Check them out on our podcast page and let us know what you think.
Feedback we received
“They were very honest.”
“I just finished listening to the brothers' podcast on "THE GOOD THING". WOW. This was excellent. The men were quite reflective and insightful. Keep it going.”
“I really enjoyed the discussion between Angela and Carroll. I think this type of open and honest discussion is going to invite some exciting exchanges in future discussions on this and other subjects. I want to applaud the New Beginnings Team for their insight into embracing the podcast technology as a means to engaging individuals to share their experiences and ideas. May God continue to bless this ministry and those who are touched by it.”
“The podcasts have opened conversations between my husband and I that we would have never discussed before. They are a blessing to my marriage.”
This month’s podcast series
“Is Love Enough?” and “What Do You Want Or Need In A Relationship?” Check it out and let us know what you think. Are we on the right track or do you need something else?
Stories of Healing, Deliverance, Reconciliation and Forgiveness is another series we will be promoting in the coming weeks. These are true stories of peoples personal testimonies and God’s loving deliverance. If you would like to share your story please e-mail us at contactus@mynewtemple.org and let us know.
We are endeavoring to share topics that will get you and your friends and significant others talking. Don’t shy away from the topics. Discussing them will increase your communication with each other and also stir your thinking, by helping you to find out what other people are saying. In order for our relationships to grow we need to know how other people think. After you talk about it write to us and let us know what you learned. Listen to the podcasts and see what our podcast participants are saying. We look forward to hearing from you. Watch the podcast and weekly articles to see what God is doing through New Beginnings. Please spread the word.
Weekly Article-We encourage you to read the weekly article for February 26, 2007 entitled “Healing Hurts”, by The Reverend Kimberley McNeil. http://mynewtemple.org/aWeekly.html.
New Beginnings Scriptures for March 2007
Isaiah 14:27:
27 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—who can change his plans?
When his hand is raised, who can stop him?”
Be encouraged that when it is your time, when it is your season, the enemy will attempt to send some attacks against you, however, when God sets the plans in motion and when things are moving according to His plan no one can stop them.
Our Mission Statement
Our Mission is to draw individuals to Jesus Christ through the Ministry of Health and Fitness and to see the Body of Christ become fit in all areas by providing tools and information to empower you to succeed. New Beginnings is dedicated to helping you gain personal, spiritual, physical, mental and relational fitness by developing the courage and confidence necessary to set and achieve goals based on biblical principles. Most people encounter difficulty reaching goals, sticking with a diet or completing a task by trying to make an outward change without having made any inward spiritual changes. In other words, all improvements in your life begin with a change in your mind and spirit.
