73 FIRST DAY Tuesday, May 3, 2016 The evening meeting of the district assembly began at 6:45PM with pre-service music Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble, Friend of God, Jesus Messiah, and How Great is Our God -- being provided by Wesley Lewis and the Alexandria Church of the Nazarene worship team. Tom Fett welcomed the congregation to the seventy-fourth annual district assembly of the Northeastern Indiana Church of the Nazarene. He also welcomed Dr. and Mrs. Gustavo and Rachel Crocker, presiding general superintendent and wife. Jim Ballenger, district secretary, gave a few words of instruction to the delegation. He also prayed an opening prayer for this assembly meeting. The Alexandria worship team led the congregation in singing songs of worship Your Grace is Enough and Mighty to Save. Mark Dill led the congregation in praying for God s presence and blessing in this meeting. Dr. Roland welcomed the following new parsonage families to this district: Anderson Parkview Michael and Anna Johnson; Huntington First Bobby and Sarah Kemp; Olive Branch Matthew Phillips; Fort Wayne First Travis and Justine Tackett; and Union Chapel Fred and Trisha Stevens. He also welcomed the following new pastoral staff associates to this district: Angola Andy and Bethany Wright; Auburn Jonathan Childers; Bluffton Kenny and Alyssa Plisco; Decatur Eric and Debbie Ward; Portland Kelsey Outler; and Shipshewana Andrew & Kristen Goff. Dr. Roland invited the children and teenagers in the delegation to stand and be recognized as special guests in this service. Other special guests were also recognized: David Barkley NW Indiana district superintendent; Gary and Carol Pate SW Indiana district superintendent; and Ron Blake Indianapolis district superintendent. Dr. Bob and Carol Broadbooks were also recognized. Dr. Broadbooks (USA/Canada Regional Director) was invited to come and give words of greeting. He informed the delegation that the USA/Canada region includes 5049 churches and 78 districts. He also reported that 49,417 people came to faith in Christ in the past year through the ministry of the Church of the Nazarene. It is significant to note that 200,000 people from all around the world came to Christ, which means that one-fourth of new believers came from the USA. There was a net gain of 300 churches in this past year. It is encouraging to note that the Church of Nazarene has had a net gain in believers for the past five consecutive years and that 7% of the net gain of all churches were started by the Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Broadbooks concluded by expressing thanks and gratitude to our people for the work being done by our local churches. Dr. Roland concluded the recognition of special guests by welcoming Josh Means (Wesleyan Investment Foundation) and Don Lain (Nazarene Foundation) to this meeting. The Alexandria Worship Team led the delegation in singing a couple of worship songs: One Day and Give Me Jesus. Dr. David G. Roland introduced presiding general superintendent, Dr. Gustavo Crocker. He gave an overview of Dr. Crocker s many accomplishments over the years of his ministry. Dr. Crocker gave greetings from the Board of General Superintendents and also from the Indianapolis district his most recent assembly meeting. He shared the story of Angela who is a refugee from Syria and the mother of three young children. Her husband and father-in-law suddenly disappeared one day. Their son, Moses, learned about his dad s fate later when he 73

74 watched a YouTube video which showed his dad being beheaded by ISIS. This family has gone through tremendous heartache and is being ministered to by the Church of the Nazarene. As they worshiped together in a house-church, she asked Dr. Crocker, Wherever you go will you please bring greetings from my family? What a touching reminder that we are part of a great global church family! Dr. Gustavo Crocker closed by saying that it is a privilege to greet this assembly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Gustavo Crocker introduced district superintendent, Dr. David G. Roland and highlighted the many aspects of his ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. He invited him to give his fourteenth annual report as superintendent of the Northeastern Indiana District of the Church of the Nazarene. Dr. David G Roland s report began with children marching in from the back of the tabernacle to the music of God is Good All the Time and spreading colorful balloons all throughout the congregation. Children and delegates kept the balloons bouncing in the air throughout the duration of the song. Dr. Roland began his report by reminding the delegation that we are not alone in ministry. We are a family. We are a team. He expressed gratitude for all the work that laypersons, pastors, and staff members are doing in ministry on this district. He also expressed thanks to our district leaders and employees, asking each of them to stand until all have been introduced. The list of leaders and employees includes the following: District Secretary Jim Ballenger; District Treasurer Jeff Kardatzke; District Advisory Board Mark Bennett, Gary Cable, Mark Dill, Dan Garde, Phil Rogers, Marie Secor, Gene Snowden, Ken Swan, Brady Wisehart, and Larry Stafford. District NMI President Laura High; District NYI President Brandon Kirk; SDMI Chairman Danny Hines; District Assistant Marc Royer; Director of Hispanic Church Planting Elias Cabello; District Office Staff Tiffany Ball and Jeanette Benbow; Shiloh Park Camp Managers Dan & Karen Heincker; and Shiloh Park Director of Food Services Chrissie Banter.

Dr. Roland announced that the Generational Leadership Award is being presented to Rev. Oscar H. and Doris Sheets. As this couple was escorted to the front of the tabernacle, Dr. Roland read a summary of their life and ministry. The delegation responded with a standing ovation. Dr. Roland presented a special plaque to Oscar and Doris Sheets and gave his sincere words of appreciation. The delegation once again responded with a standing ovation. Dr. Roland talked about churches living in the comfort of the bubble. It may be comfortable, but it creates a limiting barrier. A video was shown of a recent commercial from DirecTV depicting the settlers who were unwilling to change and insisted on doing things the old way. A graph was also displayed on the front screens depicting our district growth for the past 10 years. The numbers show that we have been a stable district family. Stability is not necessarily a bad thing, but it must also be noted that we are very gradually losing ground. Are we settling for mediocrity? Let s break out of the bubble! God s promise to Abraham was I am going to bless you and I am going to multiply you. Are we ready for God to fulfill that promise on this district? God is looking for successors who will break out from the mold and receive a double portion of his Spirit. Are we willing to break out of the bubble? Are we willing to accept the challenge of doubling our children and youth attendance in the next year? This report concluded with the delegation bouncing balloons in the air and listening to the music of God is Good All the Time. At the conclusion of this report, Dr. Gustavo Crocker asked everyone who became a Christian between the ages of 4 and 18 to stand. At least three-fourths of the delegation stood up. He reminded the delegation that it would make no sense to invest huge amounts of our church s resources into ministries targeted toward areas other than the people in these ages. Let s be intentional about reaching our children and teenagers! Dr. Crocker invited Dr. and Mrs. David and Cheryl Roland to stand. He declared that we as a district will commit to praying for them diligently and working along with them faithfully. Dr. Bob Broadbooks led the delegation in a closing prayer, saying that we receive this challenge with open arms and ask that God will help us to share this Good News with anyone we meet. May we see God at work in dynamic ways in our lives and churches. Gary Cable, vice-chairman of the District Advisory Board, presented a gift to Dr. and Mrs. David and Cheryl Roland. Dr. Roland spoke words of appreciation to this district family. Cheryl Roland also expressed her appreciation for the support of this district. This evening meeting concluded at 9:15PM. SECOND DAY Wednesday Morning Pre-meeting music was offered by a trio of singers from Olivet Nazarene University singing, Back Together Again. Dr. David G. Roland welcomed the delegation. Lorne MacMillan prayed the opening prayer. The trio sang a couple songs, Bless the Lord and 10,000 Reasons. 75

76 Dr. Gustavo Crocker began by asking the question: What do you do when the Lord gives you a promise, or tells you that he is about to do something exciting? Based on his experience as Regional Director when the Tsunami struck in southeast Asia, he taught that there are three human responses to the forewarning of something big that is coming: 1) We ve heard this before. No big deal. It will miss us. (This is what the people in Sri Lanka said in December 2004 before the big tsunami hit their coast.) 2) We are island people. We know how to deal with this. We ll be ok. 3) We will do all we can to be prepared for this. Which response will we have? Are we a CAWKI church? Church As We Know It. Dr. Crocker read the passage in Isaiah 54:1-3: Sing barren woman, you who never bore a child. Burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor, because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband, says, the Lord. Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back. Lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. This passage teaches us that there are three requirements in order for us to enjoy the promise of God (remember that He has never failed to keep one of his promises). First of all, we must embrace the promise. Remember that the promise of God has a location, it is for us and our children, and it is a promise of hope. Secondly we must be prepared for it. And thirdly, we must get ready. We must stretch our mindset. Things will be different. It may be messy. Insanity is doing the same thing we ve always done while expecting different results. Break out of the bubble. But be sure to strengthen the stakes! Affirm our articles of faith. Affirm who we are in Jesus Christ. Go wide and deep. The promise is coming. We have to receive the promise and embrace the promise. We must be prepared, not only emotionally, but also in tangible ways. We must get ready. New generations are coming to us. Our own way of doing things will be challenged. In the process of it all, we affirm who we are. And lastly, we celebrate!! Burst into song! Shout for joy! The blood of Jesus will not be wasted. The promise will come. It is for our children and our children s children. Dr. Crocker concluded his message by reminding the delegation that a movement does not start with strategies and good plans. A movement starts on our knees. It starts when God s people begin sensing a strange passion for that missing link prayer! Let s start on our knees! An act of humility is necessary. If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, then will I hear from heaven and will heal their land. (I Chronicles 7:14) As people throughout the congregation came and knelt to pray at the altar, the trio sang Oceans. Dr. Roland led the congregation in a time of prayer.

78 delegation responded with a standing ovation. Dr. Roland expressed his appreciation to the delegation. Dr. Roland introduced Teresa Garner, ONU Professor, to the delegation and invited her to come and speak. She began by asking, How do we pour into the lives of those who will minister? How will we pass the baton? We should not assume that people know what they should know. We are the light on a hill and the salt of the earth. People may not know the Truth if we don t share it. We must not label people based on our preconceived notions. We don t need to judge people, we need to reach out to them and love them. This may not necessarily mean that we open our arms and welcome them in. It could require that we go to them where they are. If we change one life, we can ultimately change generations of lives. First we must know God. Then we can love Him, trust Him, obey Him, and abide in Him. Too often we start with telling people to obey God before they even know or love or trust Him. Are our churches a safe place to fail? What matters is that we are Jesus with skin on. or not. What matters is that we take people in and care for them and love them. At the conclusion of this challenge, Teresa Garner concluded with a word of prayer. The delegation responded with a standing ovation. Attention was drawn to the report of the nominations committee. Motion carried to adopt the report of the nominations committee. Jim Ballenger gave instructions to the delegation for this Ballot #1. At the conclusion of the voting, Board of Tellers #2 was called to collect the ballots. Don Lain gave greetings to the delegation from the Nazarene Foundation. He stressed the importance of this foundation in facilitating the funding of many ministries in the Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Crocker encouraged the delegation to also stop by the Wesleyan Investment Foundation table later this afternoon and talk with their representative, Josh Means. Dr. Crocker welcomed John C. Bowling to this meeting and invited him to come and give his report from Olivet Nazarene University. The ONU trio sang, Great is Thy Faithfulness. Dr. Bowling began by asking those in the congregation who have attended college away from home to think back to their own first day of college. As a part of the welcoming crew at the university, Dr. Bowling sees people leaving the most important thing in their world at the steps of the university. It s an exciting day for the students but also a bitter-sweet day for the parents. At this point, ONU has to step up and provide what those parents are expecting. This university doesn t just exist to provide courses leading to a degree. If that s all that is offered, it wouldn t be worth all the sacrifice. ONU provides a good education, but more importantly it offers transformation. This comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It happens in a thousand ways in the classroom, in the dining room, in the dormitories, in the athletic arenas, and much more. Alma Mater means nurturing mother. That is what ONU aims to be. This week there will be 1500 graduates from this university. This would not be possible without the great sacrifice of so many churches on this region. Dr. Bowling expressed a heartfelt thanks to the people of this district who have supported this university. After showing a video about ONU Ambassadors of Hope, Dr. Brian Allen talked about the importance of being an ambassador for Olivet and talked about the impact that numerous ambassadors have already made. He recognized Tony Fightmaster and Remington Anksorus, in attendance at this assembly, who are also employees and ambassadors for Olivet. This report from ONU concluded with the ONU Trio singing another song, Total Praise. Dr. Gustavo 78

The ministers choir, directed by Sherry Rogers, sang a special song, Take My Life. Gary Cable read paragraphs from the Manual. John Holbrook played a special trumpet solo, Be Thou My Vision. Dr. Gustavo Crocker began the evening message by talking about his desire to write a book entitled, Holy in Dry Times. If he wrote the book, it would have three chapters and it would be based on I Samuel 3:1-11. This is the story of God s call to Samuel when he was just a 81

82 young boy. This was a very dry time for the people of Israel. There are two things that mark a dry time for God s people: 1) a lack of God s Word and 2) a lack of vision. Dryness has the capacity to infect us. Eli, the prophet, was in a dry time. He couldn t hear God s voice. His dryness had an effect on Samuel. This is evidenced by the fact that Samuel didn t recognize God s voice when he heard it. This story reminds us that God still calls people even in the driest of times and in the most difficult environments. And God still calls children! What can we do to help someone else hear God s voice when He is speaking? We simply tell them, God is calling you. Listen for His voice. God will take care of the rest. Are you dry today? Dryness gets us all. But we can be replenished! Jesus is the everlasting fountain. When we are replenished we are able to stand in the gap for others. Dr. Crocker closed his message by inviting people who are dealing with dryness to pray at the altar. Many pastors and congregants knelt at the altar for prayer as Dr. David Roland prayed for the congregation. Dr. Crocker began the ordination ritual by inviting all the ordained ministers to join him at the front of the sanctuary. Those receiving elder orders are: Remington J. Anksorus, Caroline B. Burch, Chad A. Clark, Michael A. Hazlet, Toni L. James, and Nancy J. McCabe. Vicki S. Frederick is receiving deacon orders. Bryan P. Shelley s credentials from another denomination are being recognized. Each ordinand candidate and spouse knelt at the altar while Dr. Crocker ordained them. A selected elder also prayed for each ordinand in turn, while the district ordained elders and deacons laid hands on them. Each of the newly-ordained ministers stood along the front of the platform with their spouse. Dr. Crocker and Dr. Roland presented each of them with a Certificate of Ordination. The delegation responded by singing Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow as the ordinands and spouses were escorted to the dining hall for a reception in their honor. This seventy-fourth annual district assembly session was adjourned at 9:15PM. V. REPORTS A. DISTRICT OFFICERS 1. Dr. David G. Roland, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT 2016 STATE OF THE DISTRICT ADDRESS HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! We are here to Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all people. For great is the Lord and worthy of praise; (I Chronicles 16:24-25a) The Lord is in this place! Let s declare His glory in celebration and praise. Welcome to this 74 th annual gathering of the Northeastern Indiana District Church of the Nazarene Family. BREAKING OUT OF THE BUBBLE 2016 A little girl had been trying for months to learn to tie her own shoes. She finally succeeded and 82

83 then burst into tears. Her father asked her why she was crying and she sobbed, Because now I ll have to do it all by myself for the rest of my life. When was the last time you felt like that? Maybe you felt all alone in ministry? Look around this room, you are not alone. And seeing you encourages me. You represent a multitude of faithful laborers who week after week are engaging in the work of the Church of the Nazarene across this great NEI District. You may be serving in the children, youth, or adult ministries. You might be a greeter, a church treasurer, a board member, or custodian; unpaid in earthly measure, you regularly invest in others for God s glory. You prayerfully support your pastoral staff and regularly exemplify good stewardship. I want to say thank you! And Pastors thank you! You are the very best and I am privileged to partner with you. My gratitude also extends to gifted leaders who are essential to the operation of the district. These men and women serve with great proficiency and spiritual wisdom. We are so indebted to them for their selfless service and our appreciation is inexpressible. Jim Ballenger, District Secretary, is an essential partner in the year round organization of this district assembly. He and his wife Janie are dedicated, efficient, and a tremendous blessing. Jeff Kardaztke, District Treasurer, is also an asset to the team. He ensures integrity and helps maintain a framework for financial stability. The District Advisory Board is a unified body of seasoned leaders who exhibit the wisdom of God in the administration of district affairs. Missions President, Laura High; Youth President, Brandon Kirk; and Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries Director, Danny Hines, are high energy, creative, visionary leaders with a passion to reach children, youth, and adults with the mission of Christ. Drs. Marc and Marceil Royer have joined our staff and have been extremely effective in coaching pastors and church boards in strategic planning for ministry success. And just recently Rev. Elias Cabello, has joined us is directing the District Church Planting for Hispanic Ministries. Tiffany Ball, Office Manager, with her infectious bubbly spirit brings fresh creativity and professional expertise to the district office. We all lean heavily on her ministry heart. Office Assistant, Jeanette Benbow, is engaging and contributes to the strength of the team with her knowledgeable computer skills and secretarial proficiency. She is always ready to help. I owe her a great debt of gratitude to my wife, Cheryl, for her partnership in this district assignment. We are a package deal. She is my prayer partner, co-laborer, best friend, and the love of my life. Shiloh Park Camp Managers, Dan and Karen Heincker, are visionary leaders that consistently create a safe place for Christian development, faith, family and fun. Together with the Shiloh Park staff, and generous, skilled volunteers, they continue to build a quality ministry to people of all ages. They work closely with the Camp Board under the excellent leadership of chairman, Andy Cole, and are currently building a challenging vision for the next decade of ministry. Let us never forget that Shiloh Park is the heart of our district gatherings. It serves as an indispensable connector of spiritual vitality for every local church and generation. It is a place of 83

84 quiet rest apart from the distractions of the world, where campers are exposed to the Word of God and the support of Christian role models. Shiloh Park camps are staffed by local church leaders who follow up on those who are making spiritual strides. It is a place for godly young people to grow in serving Christ and it provides opportunities to develop and broaden the circles of fellowship and friendship of all ages. Thank you for your support of this great place. At Shiloh Park, we are family! LET S CELEBRATE Do you remember our 2015 theme #reviveus634? Our plea for revival echoed Isaiah 6:3-4, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty. The whole earth is full of His glory. I am happy to report that from His fullness we have all received grace upon grace (John 1:16). The following statistics certainly do not reflect the full magnitude of God s glorious grace over NEI, but let me tell you, Jesus love is bubbling over! Corporate worship increased to 9,311 (+64). New conversions nearly doubled the previous year with 1,495 (+601). And we Baptized 365 (-21). We increased in the number of New Nazarenes to 331 (+26). WE WELCOME ALL OF THEM!

Generational Leadership Award 2016 The Psalmist declared with great resolve, We will tell the next generation the praise worthy deeds of the Lord (Psalms 78:4). The NEI District Generational Leadership Award expresses our appreciation to those who have proclaimed God s praises to the next generation by living exemplary lives and serving others selflessly. Today we honor two outstanding NEI Generational Leaders, who are deserving of our highest recognition and gratitude. REV. OSCAR H. & DORIS SHEETS From his early childhood, Oscar Sheets fulfilled God s call to preach and has touched countless lives for the cause of Christ. When he was just a boy, his grandmother observed him standing on 85

86 an old crate in their front yard. He was preaching his heart out, but she thought he was cussing and using God s name in vain. Oscar met Doris at First Church of the Nazarene in Frankford, Indiana where both of their families were active members. Love sparked a sweet courtship and they were married at Old Frankfort First Church on September 9, In preparation for ministry, Oscar and Doris moved to Bourbonnais, Illinois where they attended Olivet Nazarene College. Oscar earned a Bachelor of Theology degree. He was ordained in 1957 on the Northeastern Indiana District. Oscar and Doris obeyed God s call to pastor churches of the Nazarene across the state of Indiana for 44 years. They pastored in Frankfort, Arcadia, Kokomo Forest Lawn, Winamac First Church, Mishawaka, Lafayette, and Elkhart Northside Church of the Nazarene where they officially retired in Their oldest grandson, Tim Sheets, is now building on this rich heritage as the pastor of Elkhart Northside. Oscar continues to be a popular preacher, often requested for pulpit supply. Since retiring, he and Doris have been such a blessing as interim pastors at Kendallville, Shipshewana and New Horizons in Pickford, Michigan. These two leaders are district minded. Oscar has served on the District Advisory Board, Olivet Nazarene University Trustee, District Nazarene Young Peoples Society President, Youth Camp Director, District Sunday School Chairman, a delegate to several General Assemblies and interim District Superintendent. Doris has served in a supportive role as Children s Minister, Mission s President, pianist and violinist in worship services as well as wife, mother, hostess, gardener, cook, and substitute teacher. The Sheets have four married children: Jerry & Susan Sheets, Larry & Connie Sheets, Jill & Rick Rice, and Gary & Kim Sheets. From generation to generation the Sheets have lived to declare God s love as, Jerry, Larry, Rick, Gary, and grandson Tim are all Elders in the Church of the Nazarene. Their daughter, Jill, is a District NMI President in Michigan and a Trustee at Olivet Nazarene University. Oscar and Doris are the proud grandparents of 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Three of their children graduated from ONU and 10 of their grandchildren have attended ONU. With selfless service and hearts for God s glory, Oscar and Doris Sheets have lived commendable lives and proclaimed God s truths to all generations. As we celebrate their legacy we praise the matchless name of Jesus for His love that endures forever. Let s Break Out of the Bubble Imagine living inside a bubble. Your first thought may be comfort, protection, or contentment. However, bound by the bubble you might begin to feel isolated and restricted. The desire to explore, to grow, to entertain new ideas and to leap out in faith is enticing but it is a struggle to break out of the bubble. 86

87 The comfort of the bubble is a dangerous security when we serve a boundless God. He urges us to anticipate exceedingly abundantly more than all we can ask or imagine. And yet, the bubble creates a barrier that not only limits us but limits what we allow God to do in us and through us. A cursory observation of the district growth for the past ten years reveals a stable district with a few increases and decreases annually over the decade. Thank God for that stability! However, it could tend to lure us into feelings of contentment and lull us to sleep in satisfaction, settling for mediocrity. Tonight let s break out of our bubble and burst through the barriers! Let s break through to victory in prayer, and let s seek the Holy Spirit to fill us until we pop with power to accomplish our God sized mission. What is our mission? Our mission is to reach our kids, our grandkids, and our community kids for Jesus Christ. In our own strength, it is impossible. Some of you may be in a crucible, burdened for your own children, or your church children. To reach them we must live in the extraordinary power of Almighty God. We need a double portion of God s Spirit. The scriptures teach in II Kings 2 that the great prophet Elijah was growing old and nearing the end of his time. God instructed him to embrace young Elisha as his successor. Elisha knew this was his last chance to draw wisdom from his mentor. Elijah knew it was his last chance to offer spiritual instruction. As they walked together along the Jordan, Elijah asked Elisha, Tell me what can I do for you before I am taken away? Elisha replied, Please let me inherit a double portion of your spirit. His request was not for personal wealth, power, or greatness, but one of full surrender and a desperate plea for more of God s anointing. Their journey offers four lessons that will help the NEI District break out of the barriers that keep us from living in the extraordinary power of God s Holy Spirit. Let s follow their journey and the double blessing it produced. (1) GILGAL, THE PLACE OF SEPARATION God first led Elijah and Elisha to Gilgal, the place of separation. It was here that centuries before, the swift flood waters of the Jordan River threatened to block the Israelites from seizing God s Promised Land. Joshua urged the people to separate themselves from their past and break out through the barriers of paralyzing fear and unbelief and to enter the waters by faith. They had to be a separate people, belonging to God alone and ready to obey Him at all cost. Because they obeyed, the waters parted and they walked across on dry ground to embrace the Promised Land. Now, generations later, Elijah and Elisha stand at the altar of stones erected by Joshua and celebrate the miracles of God. They too are set apart for His service. The altar served as a reminder to them and to us that it is the biblical duty of every generation of Christians to see to it that the next generation hears about the mighty acts of God. 87

88 Chuck Swindoll wrote, It is during the child-rearing and adolescent years that a parent is called by God to carry out one major mission, to model authenticity. How are we doing? Are we declaring the mighty acts of God? Are we modeling Christ at home, at work, and on the sports field? May our prayer of separation be as that of Andrew Murray who prayed, Father, let the Holy Ghost have full dominion over me. In my home, in my temper, in every word of my tongue, in every thought of my heart, and in every feeling toward my fellow men; let the Holy Spirit have entire possession of me. What barriers are preventing us as individuals and as a church body from entering into God s promises today? Just as with the Israelites, paralyzing fear and unbelief threaten to defeat us today. Disobedience, apathy, and prayerlessness grieve the heart of God. May God give us such an intense desire for Him that we enter into our closets of prayer and stay there until we break through to receive a double portion of God s Spirit. Jesus promises, You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you! Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, leaders will grow in faith and vision. Prayer meetings will be God focused rather than need focused. Marriages will be restored. Believers will step into faith. Worship services will be alive and full of God s Spirit. The sick will be healed, the lost will be saved, and the bills will be paid! (2) BETHEL, THE PLACE OF FAITH AND OBEDIENCE Elijah and Elisha, in obedience to God, journeyed on to Bethel, the place of faith and obedience. It is here that Elijah and Elisha are reminded of an ancient conversation between the Heavenly Father and His son, Abraham. God said, Abraham, I am going to bless you; I am going to multiply you; your descendants will be greater than the sand of the sea, and I am going to bless the world through you. Abraham responded to God in faith and full surrender. He pitched his tent and built an altar in essence declaring, I am going to trust God with all my life. Even though Abraham and Sarah were old and had no children, and God s promises seemed too good to be true, Abraham believed God would somehow break through the barriers to fulfill His divine plan. Elijah and Elisha at this same place recalled the miracles of multiplication as the world was blessed through Abraham s descendants. In every generation God is looking for successors who will courageously break out in faith to receive a double portion of His Spirit and trust God for the impossible. The truth is, every church, regardless of size or location, must reproduce itself for the next generation. A church that believes in multiplication will earnestly pray for a God sized vision to reach entire families for Christ. Fifty years from now most of us will be dead and gone, but there will still be a church. The question is, will we have led them to the double portion; or will we have taught them to just settle for faith bound in a bubble of doubt? NEI knows how to multiply! God has blessed us through the 2020 Strategy, a challenge that was presented at assembly last year. The leaders of each local church were encouraged to prayerfully dream beyond the boundaries of human efforts and to establish goals that with God s help could be accomplishment by Here is a summary of those goals: 88

89 By faith, we will increase local church membership by 38% (to 18,000 members). By faith, we will increase worship attendance by 147% (to 23,000). By faith, we will increase Sunday School and Discipleship by 93% (to 16,000 increase). By faith, we will start 40 new works. These projections reflect tremendous faith in God s ability, to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to His power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). As every church makes these goals a priority, we will work doubly hard, pray doubly hard, and trust God for a double portion in order to become a Break Out District. Our progress has already begun and we celebrate that we have 12 New Church Sponsorships this year. Muncie South Side, Anderson First, Elkhart Crossroads, Fort Wayne Grace Point, and Lynn each sponsoring one work and Bluffton sponsoring seven new works. Phil Stevenson, in Five Things Anyone Can Do to Help Start a New Church, offers five suggestions on how you can participate in church multiplication to reach the next generation. 1. Go Public. Pastors and people, talk openly and often about the possibilities of starting a new church. 2. Genuine Prayer. Ask God to, till the soil of unresponsive people, closed communities, and hardened attitudes. God is able. 3. Generate Enthusiasm. Give testimonials, preach on the harvest, and invite church planters to come and tell their stories. 4. Generously Invest. Share resources and manpower to nurture a growing environment. 5. Grant Permission. Pastor, give your congregation permission. Encourage them to reach outside of your church to start new small group Bible studies, satellite services to the communities nearby, or the start of a new church where God is opening doors. That is breaking out of the bubble in faith with the next generation in mind. (3) JERICHO, A PLACE OF TRUST Elijah and Elisha journeyed on with God to the third location, Jericho, a place of trust. Although generations had passed, they would never forget hearing about the battle of Jericho. The Israelites had entered the promised land but it was inhabited and territory had to be strategically conquered. The walls surrounding the city of Jericho were heavily fortified, impenetrable. There was no question, that barrier was beyond their ability to break. Joshua listened to God, gathered an army and gave them strange instructions. They would not fight but simply march around the city and the walls would fall. Trusting God, they marched. 89

90 For six days the army marched in silence. The only sound was the sound of the ram s horns blown by the priest at the command of Joshua. On the seventh day after the seventh lap, the people shouted and the walls came tumbling down. Just as Elijah and Elisha were inspired by recalling this great miracle, we too are inspired to trust God more completely. The walls of Jericho may symbolize barriers in your home or your church that seem impenetrable. Are you willing to trust God to help you break free? Maybe you envision God inside the bubble, powerless to help you. Your situation may seem so hopeless that you have just settled into unbelief. It is possible there are some Joshua s here trying to minister in your own strength and you are discovering you are powerless. We can trust God s Word that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. The walls will come down and you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. Go back to the scripture and read again about the Jericho miracle, then reestablish your trust in Almighty God and give Him praise! (4) THE JORDAN RIVER, A PLACE OF SURRENDER God continued to lead Elijah and Elisha on their journey. They came to the Jordan River. Remember, it was here they experienced God s miraculous power for themselves. Elijah struck the water with his cloak, the river parted and they crossed on dry ground. Throughout their journey Elijah declared God s extraordinary works and gave Him praise. God s lessons first began at Gilgal, a place of separation. Then on to Bethel, a place of faith. The third stop was Jericho, a place of trust. Now here on the banks of the Jordan, God has revealed to Elijah that his time on earth was nearing an end. Jordan was a place of full surrender for both the old prophet and his young successor. When Elijah asked Elisha what more he could do for him, his response, A double portion is my plea. Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit. There on the edge of the Jordan River Elisha surrendered to God. His request was not out of selfish ambition, notability or fortune. He was not interested in comfort or security. He was not willing to settle for anything less than God s holiness. My plans, my ambitions, everything I am or ever hope to be, I lay it down. Elisha accepted his mission to declare the mighty works of God to the next generation. The double portion of God s blessing fell on him and he carried on with the ministry Elijah had begun, performing more recorded miracles than anyone else in the scripture other than Jesus. Listen carefully, if you get nothing else this evening, hear this! We serve Almighty God, the King of Glory. He is perfect in power. Faith bound in a bubble produces only human results. Let s break out and break through to receive a double portion of HIS SPIRIT! Maintenance ministry can no longer be our mode of operation. Children, youth, and families are at stake. 90

91 Chip Ingram of Focus on the Family shared some alarming facts on the family which underscore our mandate to minister to the family. Only 25% of families in America have both a mom and dad in the home with the kids. One third of all people who go through divorce will live below the poverty level. 60% of all couples live together before they get married. Experts attribute the primary cause of family disintegration to the increased failure to hold marriage and marriage commitments in high esteem. When marriage fails and more specifically dads are absent, dysfunction in children increases. Violence, felonies, depression, teen suicide, promiscuity, gang involvements, and drug abuse are at their highest predictability factor. America needs a double portion of God s Spirit. NEI needs a double portion of God s Spirit, your church and you as an individual need a double portion of God s Spirit. Church leaders, are we so desperate for the Lord that we are willing to stay on our knees until we have received the double blessing so we can declare the mighty works of God to the next generation? Pastors are you powerless, bound up in a bubble of discouragement? You need a double portion of God s Spirit. A double portion does not mean twice as much of God because He cannot be measured or contained. A double portion of His Spirit means that we empty ourselves of all fear and doubt, then fully surrender to receive the boundless love of Jesus Christ that cannot help but bubble over. When the church is at its best and functioning in the power of the Holy Spirit it is fortifying Christian families and reaching into the community of non-believers with hope and a helping hand. It is providing biblical solutions to difficult situations. Theologian, John Piper, expressed it well, God does not drop a new Bible from heaven on every generation. He intends that the older generation will teach the newer generation to read, and think, and trust, and obey, and rejoice. How about your family? Are your children and grandchildren learning to love the scriptures, to pray, and obey God? Do you rejoice in His mighty acts and give Him praise? Maybe some of you have unsaved family members that have literally broken your heart. You pray night and day for their salvation. Now multiply that burden and embrace your church and community kids passionately in prayer. We must reach the next generation for Christ. To do that we need a double portion of God s Spirit of love, joy, hope, and faith. God is good and great and mighty to save. He can do immeasurable more than all we ask or think. Psalm 145:4 is so relevant to our mission to reach the family, One generation shall praise His works to another, and shall declare His mighty acts. For over a year the Lord has burdened my heart for the family. He presented to me a God sized challenge. We have been so blessed this year to minister to 2,416 children and 1,086 youth on a weekly basis. But think about the many children and youth in your family and community who do not know the life changing power of Jesus Christ. Without your loving prayers, they have no hope. 91

92 The challenge, I must remind you is God sized. So here it is. Let s double the number of youth and children we minister to this year. Let s break out of that bubble and pray until we have fully surrendered, then serve until we have accomplished God s mission. Children and youth are not all well behaved, they come from diverse cultures, and economic backgrounds but Jesus loves them all and just like Jesus we must love them too. NEI will celebrate our 75 th Anniversary at our next assembly. It will be a grand celebration when we witness God s mission accomplished. Let s double the number of children to 4,832 and let s double the number of youth to 2,172. Pastors will you accept the challenge? Board Members how about you? Sunday School teachers, youth and children s workers, are you ready to break out of the bubble and double? Pastors, are you willing to accept the challenge to Break Out of the Bubble and Double up on the ministry to our children and youth this year? If so, I want you to come forward and take one of these Double Bubble gum machines as a reminder all year long that children and youth are our priority. As we sing this song, come and accept the challenge. Respectfully submitted, David G. Roland 2. Danny Hines- SDMI Dr. Roland, Delegates and guests of the 2015 NEI Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries Convention, It is my privilege to bring to you my third report of the District s efforts to help in our discipleship making efforts. The two areas I would like to focus on in this report are: 1) Celebrating achievements of our churches and 2) Challenging our churches to greater achievement in their discipleship making efforts. I want to start by celebrating the achievements of some of our churches. This year s Sunday School and Discipleship awards are as follows: SDMI Awards Honor Schools, having growth in Attendance and Responsibility List between 1-9% Anderson Eastview Ligonier Anderson First Lynn Bluffton Muncie South Side Collett Muncie Wheeling Avenue Crossroads Community Shipshewana Fort Wayne Trinity Sugar Grove Kendallville Cross Pointe Family Warsaw New Harvest 92

93 Yorktown Superior Schools, having growth in Attendance and Responsibility List between 10-49% Angola Community Auburn Fort Wayne Grace Point LaGrange Muncie Forest Park Muncie Northside Van Buren Winchester Exceptional Schools, having growth in Attendance and Responsibility List 50% or greater Butler Matthew 28:18-20 NIV 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Jesus mandate, our mission, is to go and make disciples. We are told to baptize them, teach them to obey everything Jesus has commanded, Come, follow me. This mission is not a suggestion, it is a mandate with a purpose and a promise. We are not called to do this alone, but through the power and presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In order to fulfill this mission, we must be intentional in our going to make disciples. What are your discipleship goals as a church? What is God calling you as a church to do to fulfill his mission of discipleship? I want you to understand that I will never ask you to do something I myself am unwilling to do. I am asking us to partner together for the cause of reaching our communities for Christ by setting realistic, attainable goals. However, sometimes God s goals for us will seem unrealistic and unattainable but, through faith and with God s help, all things are possible. I have included a worksheet for you as a pastor and church leaders to begin to carve out what God might be calling you to do this year in making disciples. Setting Discipleship Goals (Please refer to the handouts at your tables) Our District Superintendent, Dr. Roland acknowledges those who have accomplished certain milestones in their church. I believe they are milestones every church could and should accomplish every year. They are as follows: Evangelism & Discipleship Award 1. Increase in Responsibility List 2. One Conversion 3. One Baptism 4. One New Nazarene Missional Award of Excellence 1. One Baptism 93

94 2. One New Nazarene 3. Increase in Worship 4. Funds Paid in Full Strategies for Discipleship Baptism Discipleship stories should permeate our churches. The days that we baptize men and women, boys, girls, and teenagers should be designed toward deeper discipleship and evangelism. Last fall, we baptized six of our youth. One of our youth, a seventh grader, shared her story of faith and invited her family to be in attendance. It was through her testimony that mom and dad were spurred on to want to make the same decision to follow Christ. Her dad, as he exited the baptism service said, That was really inspiring. It makes me want to know more. This spring we baptized these parents who watched their daughter be baptized. They were baptized along with a younger sister. We are rejoicing at their progress as their journey of faith continues! Baptism is a wonderful time to celebrate what God has done through redemptive transformation. Plan it. If it means using someone else s baptistery, do it. I know there has been discussion on the Winchester Zone on doing a zone baptism because of the need for a place to perform baptism. Baptism can happen in your parking lot with a kiddie pool or a horse trough. Be redemptive by being creative! Starting New Groups or Discipleship Programs New Believers Group One-on-one Discipleship 94 Bible Quizzing Vacation Bible School Summer Camps Our children s camps continue to be some of the best we have ever had. But, it s a new year and we desire to see more boys and girls at our camps. The local church is the best mechanism to encourage kids to camp. What is your goal? Women s Retreat Cheryl Roland and her team continue to put on a great Ladies Retreat year after year. This coming year is no exception. I want to challenge every church to send at least one person. This event is designed to encourage ladies of all ages. I know that the choice of speaker and music is designed to reach the multiple generation groups represented in our churches. This year s speaker is Karen Abercrombie (Miss Clara from the movie War Room). Do not be late with your registrations. NEI ladies have until July 1 before it is made open to the rest of the public. What is your goal? Men s Retreat Our men have a great time at the men s retreat shooting guns, chucking pumpkins, corn hole and more. Pastors, ministry leaders, this is a place to encourage your men to come together and enjoy a time of bonding and hanging out together. What is your goal? Prime Time Retreat & Banquet Our Prime Time group enjoys their time of fellowship and encouragement to one another. One of the greatest elements that comes out of our Prime Time events is how our prime timers connect with each other outside of the retreat time. I know that I only have one couple that

95 attends the Prime Time Retreat. They always have a great time and tell me about all the people they meet. My goal is to have at least one additional couple from my church to attend this next year. What is your goal? Nazarene Safe Only about half of our churches have become Nazarene Safe churches implementing a sexual abuse policy. In our current world, it is important that we are taking all necessary precautions to keep our children and youth safe when they are in our care. It is important to provide a safe place for our young people regardless of whether we have one or one hundred in our care. We want to help you in achieving this goal, but we need you to help us by identifying a need in your church. Every Nazarene church needs to have taken the necessary steps to prevent sexual abuse in your local church through written sexual abuse policies and procedures as well as training and background checks for your children and youth workers. We must do our part to keep our young people safe in our care. Prayer alone is not enough to keep from someone preying on the young people in our churches. Sometimes the offender may come from within the group of young people. Sexual abuse training makes us aware of these issues and how to deal with them. In the next few months, we will be working to create strategies and delivery systems to help your church. Help us by identifying your church as one that needs help. This five part strategy takes time to implement, but it is worth putting forth the effort to improve the safety of our ministries to children and youth. The five-part NazSafe strategy includes: Awareness Training Staff and Volunteer Screening Policies, Procedures, and Practices Accountability, Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting and Responding As a District SDMI, our goal is to help the local church become more effective in their disciplemaking efforts. We want to give you resources, provide training, and bring encouragement to your efforts. I know that in our world a post-modern, post-christian world it can be difficult to help people see their need for a Savior. I challenge you to take risks, pray, and seek the Father s direction. Making disciples is the same process disciples making disciples making disciples. The means by which we do this may be different, but the God who transforms is still the same. Together we can accomplish more for the Kingdom than by doing things on our own. Encourage the people in your care. Cast a vision for the future as you Go and make disciples. Respectfully Submitted, Rev. Danny K. Hines 3. Brandon Kirk- NYI 95

96 Dr. Roland, Pastors, NYI Presidents, Volunteers, & Delegates of this Convention; I would like to begin by sharing 5 things I have learned over these past six years while serving as your District NYI President. Here they are, in no particular order. 1. Apparently, all youth workers have ADD, not just me. 2. You make $1.24 per hour doing this job, seriously I did the math. 3. Dan Heincker loves it when you dream up massive projects for him to do. 4. Dr. Roland frequently takes you to lunch and pays (shake head no). 5. Stay humble, the only reason you have this job is because no one else wants it. I always compare this report and our time together as the State of the Union address for NYI. Over the next few minutes you will see images and videos of events from this past year. Let me be honest with you, this will reveal how much fun we have as NYI and we simply cannot hide that. But, while we embrace the fun, please know that the life transformation of young people is the reason we do what we do. Every event that we have is intentional about pointing students to Jesus. Celebrate Life Here is one of those videos now [celebrate life video]. Why was I running toward a mob of NEI students at the end of that video you ask, well, because we won. The whole thing. First place they call it. No big deal, just the 2nd time in 4 years we ve done that! Dan Garde continues to lead the charge for Celebrate Life as he has for the past 14 years. Celebrate Life is a two-fold process that happens at both the district and field level. We have been fortunate to have Dan coordinating both events. Every year, we are in the running to win it all which is a testament to the tremendous talent that we have on this district and also Dan s leadership. In just a few short weeks, we will be heading back to Olivet with a few hundred participates to compete and represent NEI. Our students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents before collegiate coaches and fellowship with students from Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana. Unfortunately, after 14 years, Dan will be retiring from Celebrate Life. Dan was unable to be here today, but I thought it would be really nice if I took a picture of his standing ovation (wink,wink) for doing an outstanding job these past 14 years. Would you like to express your appreciation for his years of investment? Scholarships Speaking of investments, each year NYI makes a financial investment in our students through a scholarship with Olivet Nazarene University. We choose students who are active on our District and are Christ like examples to their peers. This past year, we have awarded Grant Arbuckle, James Beyioku, Chelsea Beers, Mckenzie Beers, Sam Danner, Anna Eads, Tyler Robinson, and Griffin TenBarge each with a $500 scholarship that Olivet will match. Special thanks to Josh Smith for his work in handling our application process. 96

97 Winter Retreat This past year we had nearly 130 people attend our District Winter Retreat, which was around a 25% increase from our previous trip. Youth groups and church vans powered through the snow to Gull Lake Ministries in Hickory Corners, Michigan. Although, one broken down church van failed to bring its students home. How embarrassing right? This is why I won t mention the name of Andy Cole s church [not gonna do it]. Some of you are now wondering if that is the same van that brought you here!? Speaking of embarrassing, a few days before the retreat, I showed my wife a picture of the shirts we were getting. She said, those are really nice.you do realize they say Winter Reteat right!? Oops. Remington Anksorus was our retreat speaker and once again did a fantastic job. Olivet sent us a band free of charge which we were obviously okay with. The band members not only did a great job of leading worship but also connecting with our students on a personal level. Weeks after Winter Retreat ended, a senior pastor forwarded me a message he had received from one of his students that attended from his church. It was obvious that God was stirring in her life as she wrote, it was a life changing experience. Again, this is why we do what we do. Camp Meeting Last year at camp meeting, we had our first combined service under the newly constructed pavilion. Jim Chapman brought the message as we enjoyed a wonderful breeze from the summer air. It was a dream years in the making that finally took place. Jerod Covert is our Campmeeting Coordinator. His job is to plan events and activities for youth during the week of Campmeeting. Jerod did a great job last year and will be giving camp meeting oversight again this year. If you have students that will be here, make sure they connect with Jerod. This year, LaMorris Crawford (chaplain of the Cincinnati Bengals) and our hometown boy Cory Clark will be speaking. Bible Quizzing NEI is extremely fortunate to have the Freeland family giving oversight to Teen Bible Quizzing. John, Debby, and Valorie do a tremendous job leading this ministry. The Freeland s have such a burning desire to see teens engaged in the word of God. The top quizzer this year was Serena Broxon, who was awarded a $500 matching scholarship to Olivet Nazarene University. Deborah Mitchell earned a $200 scholarship to ONU for second place. Caleb Hines, Jordan Crawford, and Sara Espiritu each earned a $100 scholarship to ONU for placing 3 rd through 5 th respectively. At the end of the quizzing season, a survey was given to each student. I want to share one of the statistics from that survey with you today: - 91% said that Quizzing helped them grow in God's word. In addition to that, one student wrote, Quizzing has helped me come closer to God. It has helped me to open my comfort zone a little and helped me to see things about myself that was hidden. Another wrote, God has shown me through quizzing what I need to be in life. 97

98 Our quizzing ministry reaches beyond memorizing Scripture verses. While there is no doubt that quizzing helps students learn God s word, it also is a place where they learn about God s love. Zone Lock In This past fall we rented out the Huntington YMCA and had us a good ol fashion Lock-In. We were able to keep the cost down to $5 a person and fill them with pizza, a night of fun, and a time of worship. We had 117 teens and 26 adults present. We were very pleased with those numbers and are anticipating even more coming this fall. I want to thank Andrew Miller for all his planning and preparations. This summer he will also be taking over the responsibilities of directing our Sr. High Camp. Doug Thomas has served in that role for a number of years and has now crossed over to the dark side of Sr. Pastor. Thank you Doug for all your years of service. Summer Camps A little over a year ago, I was in a meeting with fellow District Presidents from all over our USA/Canada region. The question was asked of us, what is the most effective ministry that happens on your district? Being youth leaders we responded electronically of course. We all were responding to this question as our answers were being posted for everyone in the room to see. One ministry dominated that screen, being mentioned more than any other ministry. Over and over again we kept reading, Summer Camps. Here s the deal, we have the best summer camps money can buy! Students flock to our camps as we minister to more than 500 students each summer. If you are not sending teenagers to camp, you should be. The opportunity for spiritual is too significant to allow them to stay home. I think our camp directors are doing a great job of communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our students! Ryan Wright and Doug Thomas have made summer camp an attractive destination for our teens. As a result, lives will be forever changed. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and the investment you make in the lives of our students. Welcome Booklet I want to remind you about our NYI Welcome Booklet. This booklet is intended to be shared with any newly hired youth pastor, or given to someone that has just been appointed NYI President. We don t want to assume that your youth leader knows about everything happening here at the district level. This book provides you with descriptions of the various events we offer and causally list the dates of those events to help keep them on your church s radar. Please make sure this gets into the hands of your youth leader. A digital copy is also available on the district website. NYC is an event that happens only once every 4 years. Thousands of Nazarene students are in attendance from all over the country. [Here is a recap video of this past summer s NYC.] There is so much I could tell you about NYC, to be honest its hard to know where to start. Let me begin by saying that this was one of the most God inspired events that our teens have ever experienced, through worship, through serving, through teaching, through fellowship, through having an encounter with our Creator. At one point during worship, I remember turning around 98

99 and seeing every single one of our students with outstretched arms, recklessly praising God. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life. Our district helped an organization called C.A.P., which stood for Clothing Assistance Program. This ministry gives away new and used clothes to more than 12,000 homeless kids every year. Three Thousand of which are living in shelters.. As you can imagine, it is hard for them to always find the volunteers they need to keep up with all they have going on. So our students helped sort, tag, and hang up clothes. Just before we left, the lady in charged thanked us for the help and said that we saved them months of work in just that one afternoon. One night during the evening service, everyone was given a card. They were instructed to write down what they felt God was calling them to do. I want to read a few of those responses to you [read response cards] and that was just 9 out of the 83 we got back! On the last day Eric Samuel Timm spoke some words that have been ringing in my ears ever since. If you want something different with your life, do something different with your time. What an applicable statement for all of us. NYI Council Over this past year, our District Council members have served with excellence. Together we have planned, together we have dreamed, and together we have led. Today is important because it shapes the dynamic of our Council, placing individuals in a position of leadership and giving them a voice in our plans for today and the future. I want to extend my appreciation to the individuals that have served so faithfully on our council over this past year and welcome our new members to the team. Conclusion It has been with great honor that I have served as District NYI President these past six years. I have always been so proud to represent NEI at all the different conferences, meetings, and events over the years. I found early on that we are such a respected district around the field and region because of the strong leadership that preceded me. I have served our District, the NYI Council, and our students to the best of my abilities. We have an amazing group of people that have shared in carrying the burden of ministering to NEI youth. I am so proud of the different things we have accomplished over the years, in particular the beautiful pavilion and recreation area standing here at Shiloh Park that the NYI led the charge on. I cannot express how appreciative I am to be part of a District that not only embraces the ideas of our young people, but stands beside them to help see it through. Never once were we told that it couldn t be done. In fact, the only thing that was said to us was, How can we help? Recently, I have felt that it was time to allow someone else to man the post and bring fresh ideas and leadership to our NYI. I am thankful to be leaving on good terms and our youth in good hands. It is time for me to rededicate my time and attention to the youth and responsibilities of Anderson First Church. Therefore, I submit to you my formal resignation as the NEI District NYI President effective at the conclusion of Celebrate Life. At that time, newly elected Vice 99

100 President Dillan Ketcham will fulfill the remainder of my term until Convention next year, as indicated in our NYI Constitution. It has been an absolute privilege to serve you! Thank you for the partnership, prayers, and support that you have afforded me these past six years. Respectfully submitted, Brandon Kirk 4. Laura High - NMI Let our hearts not be hardened to those living on the margin There is room at the table for everyone This is where it all begins, this is how we gather in There is room at the table for everyone Too long we have wandered, burdened and undone But there is room at the table for everyone Let us sing the new world in, this is how is all begins There is room at the table for everyone From: Room at the Table by Carrie Newcomer Dr. Roland, Pastors, Delegates, Local Presidents, and Guests of the Assembly: It is my privilege to bring my fifth report for the Northeastern Indiana District Nazarene Missions International. In this time where national superiority and hatred is being called out from our places of government, in this time where we are bombarded by the ideology of self-preservation and exclusion, we are challenged by the call of the Trinity to go into all the world. We answered that call with a holy enthusiasm. We physically went into the world through Work and Witness trips. The district sponsored medical mission trip to the Amazon took medicine and health care to the people in the remoteness of Brazil, honoring the creative Spirit of God through sharing the power of healing with all people. The second district sponsored trip, the Work and Witness cruise, took us to the inner city of Cozumel, the Nazarene school in Belize, as well as to a public sponsored school in Honduras. We sang, preached, and painted buildings as well as the beautiful faces of the children. We repaired structures, distributed food, and picked up garbage. And we learned. We learned to struggle with the juxtaposition of the poverty in the lives of others and our own wealth as we returned to the cruise ship to be met with overabundance and self-centeredness. Our hearts were convicted, and as we prayed together we became more determined to make room at the table for everyone. We traveled the world and the world traveled to us as we learned of our brothers and sisters through Deputation services. Our understanding of the cause of Christ was enhanced by conversations with those who are seated at the table of diversity. The Church is in the world and the unity of Christ lived out and proclaimed. 100

101 The first year of our English Missions Training was a huge success as twelve young people from Brazilian Paulistano District came to NEI to experience evangelism in a culture different from their own. We were blessed by their love for God, by their example in prayer, and their unshakable belief in the Lord. They gave testimony to their Holy Spirit empowered resilience as they endured being trapped in a van for fourteen hours during the snow storm of the century. We are a better people for having them on our district and in our churches. Through NMI, NEI has shared the resources that have been provided to us by the grace of God. We met and exceeded all of our World Evangelism Fund obligations. Raising over $780,000 for WEF. We gave over $27,000 for Mission Specials. Thirty-five of our churches were declared World Evangelism Church of Excellence by giving a minimum of 5.7% for the World Evangelism Fund. Forty of our churches achieved Missions Priority One status as they presented a balanced view of missions through praying, giving, education, and discipling. Around the district we have prayed for missions, seeking the face of the Father so that we may do His will. We have taught and been taught through the use of our excellent mission lessons. Our local presidents have found increasingly creative ways to present the missions educational materials. We have increased our emphasis of discipling those who feel a call to missions. A year ago I stood before you and challenged you with these words: Where would we choose for Christ to be absent? Who would we choose to not have access to the message of Christ? Would it be in Nepal, which was added to our world area list in 1998? Would we have left the people of Nepal to face the days of unbelievable torment without the presence and knowledge of Jesus Christ? Would we abandon those trapped in the rubble, leaving them with no one to call out to? Would we have left them to face an eternity of torment because we were tired of Missions? Because we had no time to learn or prepare for the fulfilling of the great commission? Today I stand before as we reflect on a year of increased worldwide calamity. The world has shuddered with earthquakes and the buildings, humanity s monuments to humanity, have fallen once again. Our world has become increasingly built on the foundations of sand and the people suffer. We pray for the people of Ecuador; we pray for the people around the world as they suffer. Will we do our part to make room at the table for everyone? We have become too comfortable with the images of our own brothers and sisters staring through chain link fences as they locked behind gates for the crime of seeking asylum. We have excluded them from the table for the crime of seeking safety and freedom for their families. In our selfishness and our fear, we have removed chairs from the table and justified it as our right. We have forgotten that we too are strangers in a foreign land. We have looked at our own resources and declared their inadequacies to welcome others to the table. I have a large family and am blessed to have all of my children and grandchildren live within an hour and a half of our home. On any given Sunday we have a minimum of twenty-four people at our tables. To seat such a number, we use the cultural seating arrangement of the adults table, the teens table and the children s table. We are limited in space and resources for such a group so we must make divisions, but this is not true of the resources of our Heavenly Father! We serve a God who is unlimited in power, unlimited in His presence, unlimited in His Knowledge. He is the one who is calling us to make room at the table, His table, for everyone! And as we make that room HE WILL PROVIDE the necessary resources. NMI is a tangible expression of room at the table for everyone and our Shipshewana church literally lived that in this past year. They partnered with those of the Amish faith to raise funds 101

102 for the building projects at the Kudjip hospital in Papua New Guinea. As the Amish and the English cooked and fed a variety of people they TOGETHER exceeded their expectations. Through the moving of God, by the time the weekend was done, the Shipshewana church had raised $20,000 for that project. It wasn t just the physical food; it was the Spirit of God calling people to give beyond measure. Psalm 133 states: It is good when the people of God live together in unity There IS room at the table for everyone. It has been through the actions of the great majority of our churches that people are being welcomed into the fellowship of believers. It is my privilege to say Thank you not only on behalf of the district, not only on behalf of the denomination but more importantly on behalf of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let our hearts not be hardened to those living on the margin... Missions must become messy to achieve all that God plans for us. It must become so intentional that it breathes through our every breath, that it goes into all the world, into every neighborhood, and into every heart. Jesus clearly showed us the way through the unwavering solidarity and compassion with those the world has marginalized. Walter Brueggemann states: Compassion constitutes a radical form of criticism, for it announces that the hurt is to be taken seriously, that the hurt is not to be accepted as normal and natural but is an abnormal and unacceptable condition for humanness. Our alliance with Jesus Christ demands that we build His Kingdom on the foundation for His compassion for the lost, for the sinner, for the broken, for the marginalized. Any other kingdom will fail and will fall into the sands of history, to never been seen again. Today we celebrate the successes of the past year. Today we acknowledge the beauty of our common call. Today we receive the mantle for the time before us, however long that may be. For we know that one day He will return. Today we vow to make room at the table for everyone! Lord, take away our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh, filled with your love and compassion for all people. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Laura A. High B.

Shiloh Park Board Continual effort...this is the phrase that I would want you to take home with you as you think about what is happening at Shiloh Continual Effort. There is a continual effort of the camp board to pray and seek the vision for Shiloh Park. And through the effort of seeking God s vision for Shiloh, we are always working on ways that we can continue to reach the lost and the searching in our cities, counties, district, and state. Dan and Karen Heincker, along with many others, have continually given their blood, sweat, and tears to a place that not only means a lot to them but so much to so many people. Many may think that camp is a thing of the past; it meant more to people of yesterday than it does now. I m here to say-it still means a lot to people today. Men and women are still getting saved, sanctified, set free, sent, and called by their Savior HERE AT CAMP SHILOH! People may not even recognize the influence of camp. Did you know that most of the men and women who come to the Lord before the age of 18 do so at camp? Did you know that the majority of our men and women who are called to the mission field or ministry received their call while attending camp? Did you know that many people who are sanctified and set free can point to camp as the defining moment in their sanctification? And did you know that the world fights for our attention trying to keep us from investing in something as wonderful as camp which is so beneficial to the life of the church? This is why we have continual effort. We strive to make Shiloh Park an environment where people come not only for fun, but also for Christ! This last year, we have continually improved the camp ground and its facilities. We have hosted hundreds of events, conventions, seminars, retreats, and camps all while remaining good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. Through the diligent efforts of Dan and Karen along with the camp board, we are putting together a new Master Plan for Shiloh Park in order to be focused to make the most impact on the lives of those that walk these grounds each week. Some ask why? Why put in so much effort? Simply this: We know that the enemy, through his continual effort, wants to kill, steal, and destroy what God is doing. And if we are going to continue to reach the lost and the searching to bring them into a saving grace through Jesus Christ, we believe that they deserve our continual effort, because of what Christ did for us. 108

109 May we ever strive to give our continual effort like Christ gave us His even unto His dying breath. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Andrew L. Cole Shiloh Camp Board Chairman C. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES 1. Assembly Finance We, your Assembly Finance Committee commend the NEI District Family for your faithful investment in the church at home and literally around the world. Your support makes it possible for the church to strategically move toward fulfilling the mandate of the gospel to reach others. We believe that the love of God compels us to be faithful to the practice of stewardship and that it is a vital part of Christ-like discipleship. We offer thanks and pay tribute to the devoted treasurer of each local church who carries the heavy load of responsibility for the handling of church funds. Often working long hours and late into the night they stretch every dollar for maximum benefit. Thank you also pastors and church board members for making denominational support a priority. Furthermore, we recommend that: 1.0 Stewardship and Finance 1.1 The contents of this report be ed to every pastor and distributed by the pastor to each local church board member and that special attention be given to recommendations in the report that apply to local church policies (sections 1-3) and the Tithe Plus Funding the Mission Plan (section 8.0). 1.2 In addition to scriptural preaching and teaching regarding tithing and giving of offerings, our pastors seek to keep their congregations informed of the benefits and blessings of giving through wills, trusts, annuities and endowments to the educational, home mission, and world mission programs of the church. 1.3 Each church endeavor to maximize its giving for the educational extension ministry fund by utilizing matching fund programs offered by many of the employer corporations of its members. Olivet designates the educational extension gifts from churches and the matching portions of those gifts toward scholarships to Nazarene students. By utilizing such programs, our churches are better able to serve the financial needs of Nazarene students wishing to attend Olivet. 1.4 Each church establishes a separate accounting for monies raised for the building fund and or missions, with this money being used only for that purpose. 1.5 Each local church considering building or property acquisition that will incur debt is encouraged to follow the district recommendation to limit total indebtedness to no more than two times the average of the total raised for the previous three years. In seeking approval from the District Advisory Board the church must demonstrate financial stability by having paid the Tithe Plus for the two years prior to the request as well as show ability to meet the loan payments without jeopardizing the spiritual life of the church (Manual 234). 109

110 1.6 Each church board require a weekly report of all receipts from every department be given to the pastor, treasurer, and financial secretary. All financial records of the church, and its departments, be audited each year (internal or external) and that the records be open to the pastor at all times (Manual paragraph ). No financial policy should be established without the knowledge and consent of the pastor. 1.7 Each church should prepare an annual operating budget and submit a copy to the district office for review by May All Nazarene sponsored organizations (such as daycares, church schools, compassionate ministry centers), including those operating as separate 501[c]3 organizations within the boundaries of the Northeastern Indiana District, shall submit an annual financial report and operating budget to the District Office by the start of their physical year. 1.9 Each local church is responsible to protect their tax exempt and business status in the local, county, state, and federal governments. The following business reports are to be filed on a regular basis to protect the local church status. COUNTY: Business Tangible Personal Property Return filed each year with the county assessor by May 15 th Form 103 short Form 104 Ditch Tax STATE: Business Entity Report (annually on the church organization anniversary) NP-20 Non-Profit Organization Report (annually by May 15 th ) to the Indiana Department of Revenue FEDERAL: 941 Employer Quarterly Federal Tax Return W-2, W-3, or 1099 (must be accompanied with a 1096) 2.0 Pastor and Staff Salary/Benefits 2.1 Each local church board review the pastor and/or staff's salary and benefits at least annually. The senior pastor's compensation package increase should be equal to at least the current cost of living percentage plus any determined merit increase. The church board secretary should report the action taken to the district superintendent. 2.2 Each church reimburses the pastor's actual professional auto expenses or reimburse for miles driven up to the IRS maximum mileage rate. Churches may also consider leasing or purchasing a car for the pastor's use. This is a church expense, not a pastoral benefit. 2.3 Each church pay all expenses in providing a church-owned parsonage. Church owned parsonages should be inspected annually for needed repairs/upgrades by the local church. When the local church board votes to provide a housing allowance for a pastor-owned home, the allowance should be sufficient to cover these expenses. The pastor/staff compensation package should be reviewed annually and documented in the church board minutes according to IRS regulations. 2.4 Each church assume the cost of travel, meals, child care, and fees to the preachers meetings, retreats, seminars, and other district and general church sponsored activities for the pastor and immediate family. This is not to be considered vacation time. 110

111 2.5 The minimum vacation program for senior pastors who have served in the Church of the Nazarene 1 to 4 years should be 14 days including two Sundays; 5 to 10 years should be 21 days including three Sundays; 11 to 14 years should be 30 days, including four Sundays. Fifteen years or longer should be 37 days, including five Sundays. The pastor is also to be given at least one day per week, and we recommend two days per week, for personal use. All vacation and personal time is to be with full pay, and based on the statistical year, not to be accumulated. Vacation and personal time should be taken at a time of the pastor's own choosing with consideration being given to the local church calendar. This time shall be in addition to national holidays as determined by the local church board. Pastors moving from one church to another during the statistical year should prorate their vacation time. 2.6 The senior pastor, with the local board, should designate a vacation program for all staff. 2.7 Local churches should recognize that families moving to pastor their churches will incur expenses in addition to the basic truck rental and moving fees. Consideration should be given to additional expenses related to insurance, auto licensing, school registrations, and so on. An extra week s salary is recommended to cover such expenses. 2.8 Pastors be granted an additional seven days leave, including one Sunday, with full pay, for continuing education or study and report back to the church board on the activity. 2.9 We encourage churches to pay the continuing educational expenses for their pastors Each church, in consultation with its pastor, is encouraged to prayerfully consider providing a sabbatical so that the pastor can take the time needed for spiritual, emotional and physical renewal and growth. As a pastor approaches his/her seventh consecutive year in ministry in that particular church, contact should be made with the district superintendent to come and meet with the board and pastor to share a District Advisory Board prepared packet for guidance and options We encourage each church to provide a special gift for the pastor s family and staff at Christmas and at other times during the year such as Clergy Appreciation month The District Superintendent, February each year, communicate with church boards regarding changes in salary and benefits for the ministers in their local church If church and ministry employers have been paying or reimbursing the cost of individual health insurance policy premiums for employees (on a pre- or post-tax basis), they should STOP and consult with their professional tax advisors on appropriate next steps. While payments under these plans may not constitute taxable income to employees, more importantly, they may subject the organization to significant tax penalties for noncompliant reimbursements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). (Note: This represents a major shift from what has been common practice at many smaller employers over the last several decades).

112 3.1 It is the obligation of every local church to encourage each pastor and staff member to secure an adequate health insurance program for their family. 3.2 Each local church must carry worker's compensation insurance as required by law on the pastor (including bi-vocational pastors) and other employees. 3.3 Each local church is encouraged to carry disability insurance on its pastor and fulltime staff. 3.4 Each pastor be encouraged to participate in a personal tax sheltered annuity (TSA) program in addition to the basic Nazarene pension plan. Each local church is encouraged to contribute an amount equivalent to 3 percent of the pastor s salary or a minimum of $10 per month. 3.5 Each church reimburses the pastor and full-time associates for Social Security tax, in accordance with IRS rates and rules. Bi-vocational pastors should be reimbursed for Social Security tax on church income. The pastor and church treasurer should avail themselves of all resources available for compliance with IRS rules and regulations. (see for further information.) 3.6 Each church should determine the financial support and housing allowance for evangelists and should notify them of such minimum support at the time when the call is made. The final breakdown of that amount should be left to the discretion of the evangelist and accommodated by the local church. 3.7 Each church should provide in their budget sufficient funds to reimburse the professional expenses incurred by their pastor for books, supplies, gifts, media, and other ministerial resources. An accountable reimbursement plan should be established in accordance with IRS rules (see memos at Each church should maintain a current tax exempt status (sales tax and personal property exemptions) by filing annually the proper documents with state and county authorities. Any improvements to real properties require the filing of a property tax exemption in the year the improvements are made. 4.0 Publications and Printing 4.1 The NYI, SDMI, and NMI each share $600 annually for the cost of the Newscaster and website operation. 4.2 All our people be encouraged to utilize Nazarene Publishing House and that creative ways be employed to place Holiness Today in the home of our church families. Additional materials can be found at We encourage every church to utilize the Church of the Nazarene Foundation to facilitate planned and deferred gifts from their members to any Nazarene ministry, including gifts to the local church, and to use the Foundation to manage investment accounts, endowments, or charitable trusts. Visit or call General Assembly 5.1 A reserve fund be established to cover delegate expenses to the General Assembly. In addition, each auxiliary is encouraged to do the same. In setting the per diem for each delegate, a formula should be set adjusting the amount to properly reflect a lesser delegate expense when there are two from the same household serving as delegates. Per Diem for any General Assembly delegate who is also a delegate to a convention will begin the first Saturday. 112

113 6.0 District Superintendent 6.1 Salary, housing allowance, and expense reimbursements are listed in the district administration budget (Section 7). 6.2 The district is to reimburse the district superintendent for Social Security taxes due on the district compensation package. 6.3 The district superintendent is to be granted 37 days of vacation with pay, including five Sundays. This time shall be in addition to national holidays. 6.4 The district superintendent shall be granted a period of sabbatical having served seven consecutive years on the NEI District in the roll of district superintendent. 6.5 The district superintendent is to be provided with hospitalization, life, and disability insurance by the district District Administration: It is the recommendation of the District Finance Committee that for the church year, the budget be set as an eleven-month budget to harmonize with the new assembly year (April 1, February 28, 2017). 7.1 District Operating Budget Salaries, Wages Superintendent 58,013 Office Manager 24,864 Office Assistants 5,485 District Secretary 3,000 District Treasurer 4,500 District Gifts 2,000 Total $97,862 Superintendent's Benefits Housing $41,525 Self-Employment Tax 17,559 Annuity/IRA 9,420 Life Insurance 3,681 Disability Insurance 2,388 Continuing Education 11,000 Total $85, 573 Other Staff Benefits Office Manager s Cell Phone 275 Employer s Portion of FICA 2,305 Total $2,580 Administrative Reimbursements Superintendent's Meals/Motels $3,850 Superintendent's Conferences 3,667 Superintendent s Prof. Expense 0 Superintendent s Sabbatical 5,000 Auto/Airfare Expenses 6,875 Total $19,

Each local church commits to give proportionately to fund these mission causes worldwide; World Evangelism (WEF), the Ministerial Pension and Benefit system (P&B), Olivet Nazarene University, and the District Mission. Funding the mission percentages are based on current local church income. Church income is any donation received by the church that qualifies as a charitable contribution per IRS guidelines. This includes non-cash donations of $5,000 or more. The plan for funding the mission applies to all churches, including NewStart churches. The World Evangelism Fund can continue to be underwritten with Easter, Thanksgiving and/or Faith Promise offerings. At click on the Track Giving tab for an online tool designed to assist local churches with tracking their progress toward funding the mission, helpful information, FAQ s, and examples. You may also make online payments for WEF and Pensions at this site. In order to use the Funding the Mission (FTM) site, pastors and/or local church treasurers must obtain a login ID and password from this website and the pastor must then request access for his church from the district office. For Church Treasurers: You are encouraged to use the Funding the Mission (FTM) web site ( to report church income each month (after the last Sunday of that month), and then use the online calculator to determine the amount to send to each of the mission areas listed above. In addition, Treasurers should use the FTM web site to submit Point-to-

116 Point requests. Point-to-Point Giving is a method of recording Ten Percent recognition for cash gifts and non-cash gifts that are not funneled through Global Treasury Services. This method should be used for special circumstances in which a local church sends a gift directly to a Mission Special. Examples of Point-to-Point giving are gifts to the Nazarene Theological Seminary (NTS) and the Nazarene Bible College (NBC). Once approved, these point-to-point gifts are credited to the local church as Missions Specials. Another good reason for treasurers to use the FTM web site is because some churches have additional income and additional missions specials credited to them as a result of someone (individuals or groups within the church) giving funds directly to Global Treasury Services (GTS). These gifts given on behalf of the church are referred to as Missions Specials from Others. The district office is available to assist treasurers with questions on the process. WITHOUT COMPUTER ACCESS or access to the FTM web site, the following processes (from Stewardship Ministries) may be used to calculate allocations by hand. Each step must be followed, and in the proper order, to ensure that the proper results are achieved for each of the budgets: Calculating WEF During the Year (How much WEF do we need to send?) STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus] Mission Specials = Income Base STEP TWO: Income Base [times].055 [divided by] = WEF Goal End of the Year (What percentage of WEF did we send?) STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus] Mission Specials Paid [minus] WEF Paid = Income Base STEP TWO: WEF Paid [divided by] Income Base = WEF Percentage Paid Calculating Other Budgets STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus] Mission Specials Paid [minus] WEF Paid = Income Base STEP TWO: Income Base [times].0225 = P&B Goal (2.25%) Income Base [times].0225 = Education Goal (2.25%) Income Base [times].0485 = District Goal (Using an example of 4.85%) Calculating Ten Percent Goal STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus] Mission Specials Paid [minus] WEF Paid = Income Base STEP TWO: Income Base [times].10 = Total Amount Needed to Reach Ten Percent Status for the Year Every local church is responsible for submitting funding the mission funds at least monthly as follows: 5.5% to the World Evangelism Fund-- This fund helps make possible the global evangelistic work of the church in over 159 world areas, supporting missionaries, schools, hospitals, clinics, compassionate ministries, as well as regional and global ministry center operations. 116

117 2.25% to the Pensions and Benefits-- This fund helps fulfill the promises made to our retired ministers, evangelists, and other clergy, of a basic retirement benefit. 2.25% to the Education Fund-- This fund provides scholarship dollars and tuition assistance to our NEI youth in their pursuit of higher Christian Education at Olivet Nazarene University. We encourage every church to consider the original 2.5% if possible, which has been our standard. 4.85% to the District Mission Fund which services all three departments of the District (NYI, NMI, SDMI) and Shiloh Park. This fund helps make possible the missional work of the church in the northeastern part of Indiana, supporting the planting of new congregations, ministerial training, missional partnerships with local churches, district ministry center operations, and our district support personnel. WHERE TO SEND THE FUNDS World Evangelism Fund and Pensions and Benefits Funds either electronically sent or mailed to: Church of the Nazarene, Treasury Services, PO Box , Kansas City, MO Educational Funds for Olivet Nazarene University and the District Mission Fund are mailed to: NEI District Church of the Nazarene, 1950 S. 350 E., Marion, IN All auxiliary departments of the district and Shiloh Park Ministries are to submit a year-end financial report (showing fund balances and any amounts designated for planned needs) and a proposed budget for the new church year to the district office by April 5 for use by the Executive Finance and District Assembly Finance Committees as they execute their responsibilities. 8.3 Based on the formula described in paragraph 8.1, the extension ministry percentages are: Ministry Percent World Evangelism Fund 5.5% Olivet Nazarene University 2.25% Pensions and Benefits 2.25% District Mission Fund 4.85% 8.4 The District Mission Fund percentages will be allocated as follows: Ministry Percent District Administration 48.55% Home Missions 14.30% Shiloh Park Ministries 19.00% Nazarene Youth International 5.65% Sunday School & Discipleship Ministry 4.75% Nazarene Missions International 7.75% Total of Extension Ministries % Nominations The following nominations are presented in harmony with the guidelines of the 'Philosophy of District Involvement' as adopted by the nomination committee: MEMBERS: David G.

Dr. Scott Daniels is Senior Pastor at Nampa College Church of the Nazarene. I Samuel 3 - Been thinking about Samuel and what his life looked like and felt like. Samuel was basically dropped off the church and left. Dr. Daniels spent most of his life in the church and has a wonderful heritage of ministers in his family. I Samuel 8 - They tell Samuel that he is old. Names were given to the different generational leaders. Generational tensions are not new. Meeting and Discipling your neighbor next door. 121

122 Dr. Daniels displayed a generational and historical chart, showing the beginning and the end. The start is always in exile then leads to the land, then leads to Kingship, this is the high point of their history. It did not take long for the proof of I Samuel 8 to come true. They would not like a King. Then turmoil of division then comes into place. You can t change the clock back, the division leads them back into exile. You can t go back to 587. At this point, you need new leaders. This metaphor of exile can be compared to Christianity - 99 out of 100 people would say we are in between Division and Exile. He believes that we are moving into Exile period. The generation coming behind us are not interested in fighting cultural wars. Although we like being above numbers 3 and 6 o clock on the chart, when you look at the metaphor chart we are not at our best at the 3 and six o clock, because when we are in control, we are not at our best. But when we are below the 3 to 6, we are at our best because we are leaning on Jesus. Dr. Daniels had us turn to the book of Jonah Chapter 1. He wanted to use Jonah s story to show us how to use it in discipling our neighbors while we are in the Exile area. The Word of the Lord came to Jonah - GET UP! 99% of the time when we are called by God - He is saying Get Up and Go! God s call for our lives is to Get Up and Go into this world that is broken. GADOL - Jonah gets up and GOES DOWN to Tarshish. Jonah runs up - The storm (TOHU and BOHU) goes up The kindness of pagans - most people who are sinful are still nice people. The problem is not the people in the world, it is the people in exile. It is easy for us to get in the pulpits and preach about those people who are in chaos and are wrecked, but the problem is the people that God has called to Get up and Go - and they don t Get Up and Go! We are not to be holy just for our selves, but for the people who are in the world. Jonah GOES DOWN in the belly - and that is where the transformation takes place.
