L.I.F.E.
Long-Term Illness and Family Encouragement Ministry
Our Mission
To provide emotional and spiritual support to family caregivers and their loved ones.
Our History
The L.I.F.E. ministry was founded in 2008 in response to the increasing number of
New Bethel members who were caring for ill, disabled or elderly family members.
Family caregivers are identified by the U.S. Administration on Aging as
adults, 18 and above, who care for family or friends for little, if any,
financial compensation.
Caregiving may include errand running, transportation to medical appointments, daily routine of personal hygiene or non-medical care, housekeeping, bill payment management, grocery shopping or similar responsibilities. Caregivers are also identified as grandparents with primary custody and care of grandchildren under the age of 18.
