This is your New Beginning and we want to make it an awesome experience for you. As you begin this new adventure we are praying for you.
Who are we?
New Beginnings is a wellness ministry established in 2003 by Carroll Roberts 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?
New Beginnings 1st Virtual Retreat.
October 24-26, 2006, New Beginnings Executive Director had the awesome opportunity to participate in the Virtual Virtuous Women’s Retreat sponsored by Christian Women’s Resources. It was an awesome blessing to be able to share spiritually and also to be albe to lead the ladies through some easy but challenging exercises with His Royal Highness The Master Builder Carroll Roberts from the New Beginnings Website.
We are looking forward to even more opportunities to work with the ladies we met via the retreat as each has much to say in helping to grow us into the Queens and Princesses that God wants us to be. God has given us a vision of New Beginnings being involved in conferences to give individuals an early morning workout along with a brief devotional period. The opportunity that was given to us to be part of the Virtuous Women’s Retreat gave us the opportunity to visualize the beginnings of that dream. Please be in prayer for us as we wait for God to reveal the next step o His plans for us.
If you missed the retreat stay tuned because our Webmaster is working on setting up the audio of our session on the New Beginnings website www.mynewtemple.org so you can hear it. Let us know what you think. The text messages are being put on weekly so you can read what was shared. We pray that it is a blessing to you. We look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to discuss this with our participation in any of your upcoming events please contact us at contactus@mynewtemple.org. We believe that God is doing an awesome work in the Body of Christ and this is just one more way that He wants to reach people for His Kingdom.

Challenge Each Other
There are almost two months remaining until the end of 2006. That is more than enough time to make some significant progress towards your weight loss and fitness goals. We challenge you to take the time to evaluate your fitness in every area of your life and make some decisions to improve them. Don’t go into 2007 with the same fitness issues or worse ones than you started with. Check out your relationships, your physical condition, emotions and your spiritual fitness. Make a change today, because you know you need to and you also know that it honors God. Remember that you have been bought at a high price and we need to honor God with our bodies, our spirits, our relationships and our minds. It is the least we can do.
Upcoming Events

Recommendation
If you have not seen One Night With The King we recommend it. It was an awesome movie and we think it will be a blessing to everyone that sees it. Remember that you are the chosen of God. You are a King or Queen, a Prince or a Princess. We cannot wait to go see it again.
New Beginnings Scriptures for November 2006
Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take”
Trust Him with your weight, your spirit, your relationships and your mind. Trust Him with you.
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.
