USA Strong

We want you to get to know us a little better here at NewLife Patriot. We’ve been in business for 40 years and are proud to say, we are USA Strong.

Located in South Eastern Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia and the Bible Belt, we take to heart the meaning of hard work, family, loyalty, and faith. We are proud to fuel our local job economy, providing over 100 jobs in our area, with a strong emphasis on USA manufacturing.

Our designs and garments are created in our own warehouse and offices here in Somerset KY where we live and raise our families. Along with producing top quality products at affordable prices for our loyal customers, we are adamant about reducing waste and donating goods to local organizations. We use the most ecological process to create our garments, as well as donate returned, or unused items to our local Salvation Army.

NewLife Patriot is proud to be an approved vendor for the Veterans of Foreign War (VFW) and donate monetarily to their organization for every VFW garment sold. We also donate regularly to the Simper Fi Fund, a cause near and dear to us. With every purchase, our customers have the option to round up to the nearest dollar to be donated to the Simper Fi Fund, and we are very proud of that partnership as well.

So thank you, our loyal customers, that keep us in business, keep us excited to keep producing quality USA made products, and keep our local economy thriving. 

Sow generously: How to share God’s love through service

 

The first time I met him, I had a trunk full of groceries and two babies on my hips. He saw a stranger with a need and reacted with generosity. Unloading my bags was a simple gesture at the time, but has since resulted in the unexpected blessing of a second grandfather figure. One seed planted produced a treasured relationship for both of us.

 

I’m not the only recipient of Jim’s generous heart. He is such an extraordinary giver, the children in our congregation even believe him to be the owner of our church. While knowing better, their parents would agree. Jim is present, selfless, and active. His seeds of generosity planted through the years bear lasting fruit.

 

When we plant seeds we have no idea if they will take root, how they will grow, or even what seeds they will someday sow themselves. But what we do know is that we have a role to play in the spreading of the seed. Our responsibility is to offer what love we have and let God produce the outcomes.

 

During this Thanksgiving season, we count every blessing of harvest. We celebrate the extraordinary givers who have sown seeds in our lives from which we still are reaping the benefits. We reflect on our own seeds sown. Are they worth reaping? Will they continue to bear fruit for generations to come?

 

The Scriptures tell us in John 15 that loving each other produces fruit that lasts. I want to sow this kind of seed that reaps a plentiful harvest year after year. Meaningful fruit. Lasting fruit. I suspect you do too.

 

That is why I created The Love Offering. It is a servant-minded approach to living, focused on sharing God’s love with those around us. Each day provides an act of love to sow into the life of another with a corresponding Bible verse. Our combined effort can create a chain reaction of loving service that point people to Him.

 

The Bible encourages us in 2 Corinthians 9:6, “whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” God has so bountifully blessed us and to much is given, much is expected. Join me as we pour out our blessings as love offerings to the world in thanksgiving to the God who is the most extraordinary giver of all.
