501(c)(3) Since 2014
New Life Empowerment Development Center, Inc. was registered with the IRS in 2009 as a Bible Study ministry and incorporated in 2014 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are a fulfillment of a dream — providing technology, skill acquisition, and empowerment through learning at the grassroots level.
We are passionate about teaching individuals, families, communities and nations the value of enlightenment through God's purpose for our lives. We are committed to helping everyone who will accept any type of help we offer.
Beyond the classroom, we teach kids how to use computers from the ground up, loan laptops directly to students in need, and partner with local churches to administer development programs and homework assistance to children across the city of Jonesboro.
We supply school materials — backpacks, pens, pencils, rulers and more — on a first-come, first-serve basis for students from Kindergarten through High School.
Beginner computer classes and Computer for Kids — teaching internet basics, email, and fun educational websites for children of all ages, monitored and assisted throughout.
We loan laptops directly to students who need them, ensuring no child is left behind due to lack of access to technology. Because every learner deserves the tools to succeed.
We connect students with tutors familiar with their subjects, especially areas of struggle. In partnership with local churches, we administer homework assistance programs to kids throughout Jonesboro.
We support the AAMEN program for young men and are developing a mentoring and life skills program for young women in the community, led by Mrs. Carla Ota.
We equip community members with practical, real-world skills to improve their livelihoods and employability. From digital literacy to hands-on vocational training, we invest in your future.

Led by Rev. (Dr.) Greg Ota, our Thursday Bible Study is a non-denominational gathering open to everyone — regardless of background or denomination. We study the Word of God verse by verse, equipping attendees to be solution bearers in their homes, workplaces, and community. Whether you're a lifelong believer or simply curious, you are welcome here.
Every year before the school bell rings, NLEDC rallies volunteers and donors to make sure no child in Jonesboro starts the school year unprepared. We provide backpacks loaded with pens, pencils, rulers, and essential supplies to students from Kindergarten through High School — completely free, on a first-come, first-served basis. It takes a village, and we'd love for you to be part of ours. Watch this page and your local church for event dates.
No laptop? No problem. NLEDC loans laptops directly to students who need them, ensuring that every child has access to the technology required to learn, grow, and thrive. We believe the digital divide should never stand between a student and their potential. Reach out to us to find out how to apply for a loaner device.
We teach kids and community members how to use computers from the ground up — from internet basics and email to practical digital skills that open doors. In partnership with local churches across the city, we administer development programs and homework assistance to children, equipping them with the real-world abilities they need to succeed in school and beyond.
