Joe & Kim Palm

Joe & Kim Palm have been on staff with New Life Christian Fellowship since August 2000. Joe was the part-time Associate Pastor of Outreach and Evangelism at the New Life Virginia Beach congregation. God has privileged Joe & Kim with much fruit at New Life. They have been privileged to launch a sidewalk celebration ministry, a "Jump Start Your Heart" program, a summer reading program in a local community. All three of these outreach ministries were a joint effort between New Life and Reaching our Communities for Christ. Some additional outreaches included jail ministry, food ministry, visitation ministry, a servant evangelism event, and participation in the Angel Tree program. They have had the privilege of seeing one-third of the children of a particular apartment complex come to know Christ as their personal Savior. To God be the glory for the great things he has done!

Over the last several months the Lord has been stirring Joe's heart to look for full-time employment or part-time employment to supplement his position with New Life. Recently, the Lord has opened up a full-time Associate Pastor position with a church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Joe's primary passion is evangelism. This position would allow him to fulfill this passion as fifty percent of his time would be dedicated to outreach and evangelism ministry. After much prayer and counsel, Joe & Kim decided that this is the will of God and have accepted this position. They will be moving to Tulsa and Joe will start his new position shortly after the New Year.

Please keep Joe & Kim in your prayers as they move out of their comfort zone like never before to follow the will of God for their lives. This transition will find them adjusting to another denomination, a new group of people and a different part of the country.
