Our Mission Statement
Welcome to the New Beginnings Holistic Fitness Ministries family. We consider it a privilege to support your fitness efforts. We welcome your suggestions and ideas, so please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience with the monthly newsletter, website, weekly messages or message board more beneficial. We can be contacted at contactus@mynewtemple.org. It is our prayer to bring you words of encouragement and inspiration to motivate you to become fit physically, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. 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 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. 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?
June 2007 Challenge
Our Message Board is live. The New Beginnings Team has put a lot of topics out on the message board and we would like to hear from you. What do you think? The topics fall into the categories of physical, relational, emotional and spiritual fitness. Go to the categories, check out the topics that are already there. Read what other family members have written under the specific topics and write to us in response. If what you want to discuss is not listed under any of the other categories, start a new topic in the category it belongs in. If it does not fit anywhere else write about it under “General Discussion!” We need to hear from you. What you think is important to us. Get other people to join our message board so we can get some real conversation started. http://mynewtemple.org/aMessages.html
My Most Important Relationship-Are You Saved?
At New Beginnings Holistic Fitness Ministries, Inc., we are committed to seeing you become fit mind, body and spirit. We believe that no lasting change can take place without first making an inward or spiritual change. If you have not made this most important decision we encourage you to visit our Salvation Story page. http://mynewtemple.org/aSalvation.html. Write to us on the message board or through the Salvation Story page, if you have additional questions you would like to have answered about your salvation.
Our New Beginnings Ministry Slogans
New Beginnings has adopted four slogans. These slogans have been created to give you a focus on becoming fit in every area of your life.
Slogan 1-“It’s Not About Perfection, It’s About Progression!!!!” What does that mean? It means we do not expect you to be perfect we are here to encourage you to become all that God wants you to be and we will provide tools geared towards helping you make progress towards your spiritual, physical, emotional and relational goals.
Slogan 2-“Your Past Is Not Your Future!” That means that whatever has happened in your past is over. It can only hold your back if you let it.
Slogan 3-“I Love Me Some Me!” At New Beginnings we believe in the scripture that says God expects us to love our neighbors as ourselves. We know that means God expects us to love ourselves.
Slogan 4-“Not The End, But A New Beginning!” Wherever you find yourself today is not the end. If you are suffering from a major loss of a loved one or a major financial set back, whatever has happened is not the end unless you make it the end, but it is a new beginning. Consider it so and move forward.
Does one of our slogans touch you where you are today? If it does we encourage you to get it in your spirit. Adopt it! Keep repeating it to yourself until you believe it. Pray for God to make it come alive in you.
What Have You Been Reading?
Many of you have read some awesome books that have really ministered to you, spiritually, emotionally, relationally or physically. Let us know what you have been reading by writing to us on the message board. Your recommendations might help someone else.
Upcoming Events
New Beginnings Podcasts
We hope you had the opportunity to check out the new Podcasts. As of June 1, 2007, there will be over 70 podcasts on the website. We encourage you to take some time and listen to them. You can listen to them while you do other things on your computer. Check them out and let us know what you think by writing to us on the message board. We have a new series Sitting At Her Feet, which is a ministry of seasoned women ministering to the younger women. Men you can listen too. We know you have something to say, so let us hear it. Are we wrong? Are we right? Did we miss something? Check out the new podcasts and let us know what you think. http://mynewtemple.org/apodcasts2.html
Stories of Healing, Deliverance, Reconciliation and Forgiveness is another series we are promoting. Check out Shawn’s story now. These are true stories of people’s 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 do not have to include your whole name.
We are endeavoring to share topics that will get you and your friends, family, co-workers 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 the people God has placed in our lives think and feel. 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.
Check out the podcasts and weekly articles to see what God is doing through New Beginnings and then don’t keep it to yourself, please spread the word. www.mynewtemple.org.

New Beginnings Scriptures for June 2007
Hebrews 12:1-3:
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.[a] Because of the joy[b] awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people;[c] then you won’t become weary and give up. (NLT)
Our Mission Statement
Our Mission is to draw individuals to Jesus Christ through the Ministry of Holistic 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.
