Empowering Lives · Jonesboro, AR
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 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.
Since 2009, New Life Empowerment Development Center has been quietly transforming lives in Jonesboro, Arkansas — one family, one student, one community member at a time. Through technology, education, mentoring, and faith, we equip people with the tools they need to rise above their circumstances and walk in their God-given purpose.

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.
