This year, 2019, can be your best year yet! And your NGEN fam is here for you, focusing on putting God first in our lives!

They remind us of God’s goodness, His love, His mercies (that are NEW every morning) and His amazing plans for our lives. We hope these Bible verses are a blessing to you as you start 2019 strong!
