SUMMER MINISTRY/MISSION TRIP TO THE NAVAJO NATION
navajoJuly 24 a large team left for a week with the Navajo Nation. Painting and renovation work will be done on various buildings in the Hard Rock mission compound and our team will help lead a series of revival meetings both in the main tent with the adults and with the children's program. The picture is of our team under Inez Saragosa leading the children's ministry in the church building at the revival in July of last year.



"PEOPLE OF PRAYER" REVIVED
Our prayer and intercession ministry that undergirds and strengthens everything we do has been revived and restructured. At all of our prayer times we now hold to a disciplined focus on certain goals that are printed out and distributed. "The Home Run" still meets on Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:30 in Pastor Loren's office. "People of Prayer" meets the first and third Mondays of every month and has shifted to a "harp and bowl" format while maintaining the same discipline of focus as "The Home Run". "Harp and bowl" refers to prayer undergirded with worship. The music is non-stop, flowing prophetically with the tone of the praying. Many prayers are spontaneously sung. We've also added a new prayer time called "Watchmen: A Call to Battle" that meets at 5:00 p.m. at the church on the second and fourth Sundays of the month.



"RESTORATIONS" becomes "TRANSFORMATIONS"
pennyThis month Penny Leon, our executive secretary, assumed the leadership of our counseling department. She will be devoting half of her time to the department and half of her time to the secretarial position. We are hiring a part time administrative staff person to fill the other half of the secretarial role. In honor of the change and the rebirth of our counseling department, we are changing the name from "Restorations" to "Transformations". More trained lay counselors are being made available so that we can touch more lives with the healing they so deeply need. Already good reviews are coming in. Our Transformations course (year long in two parts), based on the Elijah House School videos, is being revamped for more ministry and group interaction. Watch for seminars and groups to be offered on special topics in coming days. First up this September is a 13 week course called "Financial Peace University" to help believers achieve just what the title says. For more information on FPU click HERE. Watch the Sunday bulletin for start dates and sign ups.



N.O.A.H.H. "No One Allowed Homeless or Hungry"

EIGHTEEN YOUTH AND LEADERS TO INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER
Wednesday, July 21 we sent a group to a conference for high school youth (a couple thousand) at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. The glory fell and the group returned on fire, to say the least. They're bringing revival home with them!

Also congrats to Steve Hocking and Loretta Darnell (right) married at New Song on July 24.




warriorPASTOR LOREN'S NEW BOOK
"RENEWAL FOR THE WOUNDED WARRIOR: A Burnout Survival Guide for Believers"

Published by Chosen Books, this was released in February. Reports have come in from far and wide testifying to its healing impact. 
Includes a foreword by Dr. James Goll. The precursor to this book was Burnout: Renewal in the Wilderness which was hailed by the late Jack Frost as the best book on burnout available. To a gathering of pastors in Toronto Jack stated that it saved his ministry. This new book is an updated and refined rewrite of that earlier book that never really got into the market.

Recorded from live worship at New Song Fellowship, Denver, Colorado and subtly enhanced in the recording studio. All songs were either were written by Pastor Loren Sandford for use in worship at New Song or were spontaneously created by the team under the anointing of the Spirit in the fire and glory of worship. It is our prayer that we have captured the best of some very anointed worship services and this music will lead you into an experience of worship almost as if you were there! Samples in .mp3 format: Sample 1   Sample 2   Sample 3   Sample 4
