103.0. "Marriage Ministries International -formerly Nova Shalom" by CNTROL::JENNISON (Get a *new* life!) Thu Apr 08 1993 16:39

	I received information on Nova Shalom Ministries International
	from a Christian friend at work.  He's seen some wonderful
	things happening in the group he's involved with.

	Has anyone here participated in a Nova Shalom group ?

103.1Nova Shalom @ Triumphant Life ChurchJUPITR::DJOHNSONGreat is His FaithfulnessThu Apr 08 1993 16:5611
    Karen,
    
    A couple of Nova Shalom groups have been started in our church with
    rave reviews all around.  However Sandy and I won't be able to get in
    one until September.  They are limited to 7 couples and the course
    lasts 14 weeks.  However, I have been informed that we are invited for
    the next go round.  From what I have heard it is a course to put
    marital roles in biblical perspective and encourages prayer between
    husband and wife.

	There will be a Nova Shalom Outreach at Holden Chapel on
	Saturday, June 12, at 7:00 pm.

	It will last until 9:00.

	Jamie and I plan to attend.

	If anyone is interested in attending, send me mail today and I'll
	send you directions.  

	I believe the next 13-week session starts in September.

	I just noticed that I never put in a note describing
	Nova Shalom.

	Here are some excerpts from their flyer:

	Worldwide vision:

	"... Nova Shalom groups presently minister weekly across the United
	States and on all six contintents.  Couples are actually discovering
	that a `marriage made in heaven' is really possible on this earth.
	It is our goal to see a strong, powerhouse home founded on Jesus
	Christ in every neighborhood of every nation around the world before
	the return of our Lord Jesus Christ."

	Powerhouse Homes:

	"Nova Shalom ministries works with the local church to heal and
	strengthen marriages.  It is our firm belief that every couple has an
	assignment from the Lord and it is our desire to help build them up and
	equip them for the work of their ministry as a one-flesh team.  We
	believe when the homes are strong, the churches are strong. ..."

	Nova Shalom is for people in Wounded Marriages, Stale Marriages,
	and Stable Marriages.

	Again, from the flyer:

	" Nova Shalom groups are open to any couple willing to work together
	on their marriage.  Groups consist of a maximum of seven couples, two
	of which are leadership.  The groups meet weekly in a home for
	thirteen weeks..."

	The thirteen weekly scriptural topics are:

	1. Covenant
	2. One-flesh
	3. Roles
	4. Sowing and reaping
	5. Forgiveness
	6. Faith vision and Trust
	7. Praying together
	8. Agreement
	9. Gifts of the Spirit
	10. Sex
	11. Spiritual Warfare
	12. Life Patterns
	13. One-Flesh Ministry

103.4Another Nova Shalom groupJUPITR::DJOHNSONGreat is His FaithfulnessThu Jun 10 1993 15:247
    For those who can't make it on June 12, there is another Nova Shalom
    Outreach at Pleasant St. Baptist Church in Worcester on Saturday, 
    June 17 at 7:30 pm.
    
    Sandy and I plan to be at this one.

	Shucks, Dave, I was hoping to see you on the 12th...
103.6CNTROL::JENNISONJohn 3:16 - Your life depends on it!Mon Sep 13 1993 17:1613

	We start our 13 week session tonight, exactly 8 years to the day
	after I first met Jamie.

	I'm fairly excited (and Jamie admits he's slightly nervous!).

	By the way, I changed the title of this note.  Nova Shalom has
	become Marriage Ministries International, as they endeavor to 
	go into Arab nations, and felt that Nova Shalom might not be 
	accepted.

103.7CNTROL::JENNISONUnto us, a Child is givenWed Jan 05 1994 13:5528

	There are two Marriage Ministries International Outreach
	nights planned in the next week.

	At an Outreach night, couples that have recently completed
	the program give testimony of how the program has helped
	in their marriages.

	In order to enroll in a Marriage Ministries group (ie. 13 week
	session), you must attend an outreach night.

	The schedule nights are:

	Saturday, January 8th, 7:00 - 9:00 pm, Triumphant Life Church, 
	Worcester,MA

	or

	Monday, January 10th, 7:00 - 9:00 pm, Holden Chapel, Holden, MA

	
	I can provide directions.  Please contact me via E-Mail if you
	need them.

	BTW, Jamie and I will be one of the couples at the Jan. 10th outreach.

	Karen
103.8CNTROL::JENNISONUnto us, a Child is givenTue Jan 11 1994 09:1618
	Last Saturday's outreach was postponed, and will be held
	this coming Saturday, January 15th, at Triumphant Life Church,
	Worcester, MA

	The outreach at Holden Chapel went very well last night, with
	around 10 couples attending (in addition to us "graduates).

	I'd really like to encourage anyone even remotely interested
	to attend an outreach.  Attendance is *not* a commitment to 
	join a group.


	Next groups will start in the March-April timeframe, and are
	scheduled to end before school ends.
