NLEC Worship with Larry Rice is more than a worship experience. It is the revolutionary empowerment event whose participants are society’s rejects, the poor, fatherless, and homeless, but who are finding hope through the revolutionary Gospel of Jesus Christ to the extent that they are able to reach out through the work of New Life Evangelistic Center as leaders in the fields of broadcasting, renewable energy, and direct help services to others who are in need.

Perhaps at this very moment you just don't see how you can go on any longer.
The hope we have in Jesus Christ is not only for this life, but also for the next.
It's faith which will destroy the strongholds in our life.
Getting a glimpse of God's wisdom, knowledge and love
Only by the power of God did Moses fulfill his mission.

As the power of the Holy Spirit came down, the world was changed.
As we examine the teachings of God's Word and allow the truth of the Resurrection to impact our lives, we experience a transformative shift.
Without breaking the curse of Original Sin through accepting the reality and complete fulfillment of what Christ did on the cross, we will continue to feel shattered, defeated, and without hope throughout our lives.
The One True God has revealed Himself as the self-existent, eternal, all-powerful, sovereign God; also He's manifested Himself as Three-in-One: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
