Faith That Is Made Of Substance

If there is one benefit, for the Church to have Covid 19 come on the scene, it would have to be that Covid revealed the true lack of authentic trust in God to care for their lives.

God’s provision is always amazing and in these days, it is no less present. Prior to Covid 19 arriving, we were working on a couple of major projects that we had no idea would become so providentially current to the times. The Spirit was preparing to provide a ver powerful response for parishes to help them get back up on their feet and begin to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The first project was to professionally produce a four night evangelistic Parish Mission, entitled “Call To The Deep”, in Video and Audio. The title came from a comment made by a participant. Mark has been walking with the Lord for over thirty years and gone to numerous parish missions. His reflections about this mission seem to capture what the Holy Spirit was doing in this mission. “I’ve been walking with the Lord for decades and I was challenged to go even deeper in my faith.”

This evangelistic mission has enough truth, humor, and passion to lead participants new to faith into a deep relationship with Christ but also challenge the veterans to strive for even deeper levels of trust.

The second major project, entitled Walking On Water, is a new small group process to follow up this mission or any other evangelistic event. It is not a typical content driven small group program but a new purpose driven small group process. Yes, people still gather once a week to discuss their faith, the materials lead them to encounter the Holy Spirit as they learn how to apply a profound truth of God to their lives.

In these days of consumerism in our western culture, we have been trained to consume information but never take the time to apply these amazing truths to our lives. This process is all about growing in Faith as we learn to trust God to provide. Parishes and individuals, who are serious about growing in faith, will find this powerful combination of Call To The Deep  and Walking On Water to be both challenging and fruitful. 

Parishes can bring Deacon Ralph in for a live mission and follow up with the WOW Process. Individuals can gather family and friends from around the country or use the Call To The Deep message to inspire and bolster their faith and then engage in the WOW Process to grow.

The days are coming when the Lord is going to purify his Church and every follower will need to draw closer to the Holy Spirit so that they may be strengthened to walk in His Truth when it will no longer be tolerated. It time to get ready.

What Else Does NEM Have to Offer Your Parish?

Parish Leadership Training on Vision
One of the major obstacles for parish implementation of the New Evangelization is the absence of a unified vision. Most members of a parish staff have never had any serious training on evangelization or discipleship. They are a group of individuals who come from different backgrounds, different home parishes, and different ministry experiences. Each has his or her own view or understanding of what evangelization and discipleship are, but often they work only within their own ministry and agenda…

Pastoral Plan Development
One of the vital elements needed to provide for the spiritual needs of the parish is an infrastructure within which to do so. These systems are most often found within programs that parishes purchase from publishers or ministries. For example, a youth ministry program might use Life Teen, which provides the “how-to” (structure or infrastructure) to distribute the catechetical material to teens. Parishes like these programs because they are user-friendly. While this makes perfect sense in one way, it often causes problems as well…

Parish Staff Retreats
Very often one of the ways the enemy attacks the parish staffs today is to make them so busy “doing ministry” that they do not have time to pray. Reminding a parish staff of the call to pray always and attending to this critical discipline can help ministers revitalize their strength, avoid burnout, and continue to lead them into deeper Holy Spirit-led ministry…

Specialized Seminars
We understand that parishes utilize a wide variety of activities and events to cater for the needs of their parishioners. With this in mind, we create presentations geared to the specific needs of an event. We are very committed to achieving goals with our presentations; it isn’t enough to show up and give a talk. We will ask you to define “what do you want to accomplish with this event?”

Parent Training
Parents today are a part of the “Lost Generations” that were formed post-Vatican II. The results of their formation lead them to make decisions for their children’s religious formation that are not meeting their real desire—to bring them up in the faith. Providing training for parents is an excellent way to help them to become the sound primary catechist the Church desires them to be. However, they cannot give what they do not have…
