2 PAGE 2 INDIANAPOLIS DISTRICT WELCOMES YOU On behalf of the Indianapolis District, we welcome you back to Indianapolis. We are honored to host the 29th General Assembly and Conventions. Indianapolis is the 15th largest city in the U.S. and The 24th Global NYI Convention begins Wednesday, marking 94 years since the formal organization of youth ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. These three days will be an important time of celebration and vision-casting as NYI prepares for an even brighter future. For the third time in its history, the convention will take place in multiple sites around the world through is home to three Christian denominations: the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), The Wesleyan Church, and the Free Methodist Church. Indianapolis is home to the largest children s museum in the two-way videoconferencing. NYI delegates in nine regional sites will fully participate in the convention, even as they are separated by land and sea across multiple time zones. These regional sites help relieve the challenge that many delegates face obtaining a visa and necessary funds to travel to the U.S. Regional sites enable a greater diversity of delegates to have a voice in convention proceedings. world, as well as the largest sports venue in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indianapolis is a wonderful place to live and we are glad you have come to visit us again. We have prayed for your safe arrival and are glad you are here! Throughout the convention center you will find volunteers from across the Indianapolis District. Their goal is to assist you as you visit our city. Our desire is that your visit will be comfortable and enjoyable. From the Nazarene family here in central Indiana, I want to welcome you to one of the largest family reunions in the world! All of us look forward to making new friends and catching up with old ones. Our goal is to make you feel at home while away from your home. Like all of you, we have committed to praying for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There are many things that are needed in our world today, but nothing is more needed than a new touch from God. When it comes time for us all to leave and go back to our places of responsibility, may we all be able to say, Surely the presence of the Lord has met with us, and we are more determined than ever to share the message that we have been entrusted to proclaim. God bless you and welcome to our home, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

4 PAGE 4 SDMI TAKES HISTORIC ACTION In 2013, the General Assembly approved Resolution enabling the Assembly to elect a Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International representative to the General Board. In the years that followed, each of the Church of the Nazarene s regions met and provided names of SDMI leaders to be consid- ered by the Global SDMI Council for one name to be nominated to the General Assembly. The General Board has never had a voting representative from SDMI until now. This new action will take place throughout the week. Results will be posted as they are made available. DAILY SUMMARY CLERGY PROFILES: ARE YOUR RECORDS UP TO DATE? The Office of the General Secretary is charged with keeping clergy profiles concerning credentialing, education, and ministry assignments. During Exhibit Hall hours, clergy may receive a copy of their personal profile for review and for updating at the Research Services exhibit. A valid photo ID is required.

5 DAILY SUMMARY PAGE 5 JESUS FILM HARVEST PARTNERS CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARY The 2017 General Assembly app is now available on ios and Android devices. The app includes several features to help attendees keep track of event activities, including a daily schedule and a map of the Indiana Convention Center. Attendees can filter events or use the search feature to look for specific activities. The schedule section also includes the option to star activities. There are optional reminders for starred events, which JESUS Film Harvest Partners celebrated the last 20 years of God s work and launched into the next 20 Tuesday evening. The theme of the celebration was You get the thanks God gets the glory! Nearly 500 Harvest Partners from all over the world Alaska to Zambia filled the room. Attendees witnessed ministry results through media and stories and celebrated the recent milestone of more than 15 million decisions for Christ. Numerous Harvest Partners were thanked for their sacrifice and faithfulness over the past two decades. Among them was retired Global Mission Director Louie E. Bustle. In 1997, five Nazarene lay couples thought it would be a great idea for their denomination to work with the Jesus Film Project of Campus Crusade for Christ. Bustle signed the partnership agreement for the ministry with the original director of Jesus Film Project, Paul Eshleman, later that year. GA 2017 APP NOW AVAILABLE are then added to the Favorites and Notes section for easy access. While an account is not required to use the app, attendees can create an account to connect with others at the event. Additional app features include a General Assembly news section, access to online giving, and a link to the live stream. The app will continue receiving updates before and throughout the event. Bustle and Eshleman recounted JFHP s origin story through a video, where Bustle highlighted the JESUS film s impact on the church. I think this is the greatest tool God has given the Church in these years, and I m just glad the Church of the Nazarene was a part of using this tool to build the kingdom of God, Bustle said. JFHP Executive Director Brian Helstrom shared the ministry s future plans. The strategy has not changed evangelism, discipleship, and church planting, he said. How we do it will change because where we go is now more difficult. The Church of the Nazarene is in 162 [areas]. There are about 80 left to be reached. Some of these are the most difficult places on the planet, he said. Nazarene regions are currently laying plans for 33 of the 80. Helstrom said JFHP offers anything they can do to help the regions succeed. The celebration concluded as attendees were encouraged to further the work by leveraging the impact of their investment through a million dollar challenge gift.
