Served President Bush on The Republican Presidential Roundtable

Early in 1987, faced with a newly-elected Democrat-controlled Senate, President Ronald Reagan founded the Republican Presidential Roundtable. He sought not only to restore a Republican Senate Majority, but to create a unique forum in American politics, which would bring together 250 of this nation's most prominent business and civic leaders. President Reagan wanted to enlist their greater involvement in our party and country.

New Life International

In 1979, New Life International (NLI) was created as a Christian, non-profit organization headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee. New Life meets the needs of people by supporting a multitude of humanitarian, religious and charitable causes throughout 152 countries.

Mission Statement

New Life International, (NLI) is a Christian, non-profit organization established in 1979. The mission of New Life is to fulfill the Great Commission through evangelism, church planting and humanitarian relief.

Program Overview

New Life International’s international programs consists of four components:

Evangelism
Church Planting
Fresh Water Wells
Humanitarian Relief

History

In 1979, Norvell Olive, was on a journey for wealth and success. Little did he know that his journey would lead him to a tent revival meeting where he would offer to sell a bus to the evangelist. The evangelist told Norvell he would talk to him about the bus after he listened to him preach. As he listened, the spirit of God began to move and Norvell made a decision that would forever change his vision, his goals and his purpose. He accepted Jesus Christ, gave the evangelist the bus, and joined his passion for wealth to his new found passion for souls by founding World Bible Society which eventually became New Life International.

How it all Works

New Life International has developed a network of evangelists, missionaries, and organizations all over the world to effectively share the gospel and make disciples through the teaching of biblical principals. This network is pre-approved by NLI and visited on a regular basis to provide accountability and insure that the funds we disburse are being used for their intended purpose.

Humanitarian relief is often provided in conjunction with our evangelism efforts through our World in Need and Wells for Life programs.

New Life International raises monetary support from the general public, through its charitable planned giving division, National Community Foundation (NCF) and through its investment division, Harmony Asset Management Group (HAMG). Since the administration of the organization is completely underwritten by NCF and HAMG, 100% of the donations received from the general public are spent directly on the program(s) to which the donations were designated.
