CHAPTER THREE - Background

New Covenant Fellowship was founded as a home church in 1993. The Winklers felt that God specifically directed them back to Westlake, Louisiana. They were further aware of God's direction to do all that they could to have a positive influence on other area churches as well as the local government and schools.

Even though the number of families in the fellowship has remained few in number, there have been some ways in which the local area has been affected. The following accomplishments are given briefly to clarify what God has called New Covenant to.

The fellowship has been instrumental in the following areas:

• Appreciation banquets for the police department and city council
• Baccalaureate services for the local high school
• Making Basic Life Seminars available to the community
• One Easter, baskets for all the church offices of the area were given

There has been an awareness by "the fellowship" that God was going to be doing something of significance in Westlake, Louisiana. It was understood that their role was to help facilitate what God would be doing.

It was further known that they would often not be in the "limelight" but would be there to help other churches and individuals fulfill their destinies.

A prophetic word was given to those of New Covenant Fellowship. It in essence stated that those of New Covenant Fellowship were called to be "Spirit Walkers - Truth Seekers". CLICK HERE for more information about "Spirit Walkers - Truth Seekers".
