70 Anna First Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Rev. Haynes, Delegates and Friends of the Illinois District I bring my 12th report for our wonderful church and my 37th report as Elder in the Church of the Nazarene. This has been a good year at Anna First. The Lord has blessed and we are finishing our statistical year with all budgets paid and even more important, in unity and peace. Our Church Board has served together as Brothers and Sisters in Christ giving respect to one another s opinions and ideas. Our revival with Larry and Tam Lechrone was very good nurturing the spiritual well-being of our church. I am always thankful for those that seek the Lord s touch at an altar of prayer. As I will start my 14th year at Anna in August, I still feel overwhelmed at the honor of pastoring Anna Church. I still know this is where the Lord wants me to be and I m in the center of His Will! The ministries of the Anna Church are designed by the Body of Christ to reach the lost and broken. We believe that is what the church should be doing. It is a spiritual hospital for the lost, the broken, the lonely, the hurting and the empty. We know because that describes us before we came to Jesus, Lost and undone, without God or His Son But then we found Jesus, Oh glorious day! Anna Church very effectively ministered to our Veterans planned by Phil Ray and Leonard Sadler. We had 376 in attendance on that special day feeding all a wonderful meal but more importantly, the Word of God. This is the all-time attendance record for Anna First. As pastor I want to thank all those that care enough to serve faithfully at Anna Nazarene in the last year. Those that have grown in Grace, those that have been saved and sanctified have been helped by a number of people that held hands and stood shoulder to shoulder and focused on Christ. It is so easy to focus on something else that will cause distractions and grieve the Holy Spirit, but this year we came together for the Cause of the Crucified One. My prayer is we will continue this unity in the coming year. In closing: I believe this year has taught us if we will stick together and keep our eyes on Jesus, we can accomplish endeavors that benefit the Family of God and attract those around the church that need the Lord. We will never be a drawing force for the lost until there in unity and unconditional love within the Church that is reaching out to a dying world.

72 Arcola First Dear members of the Illinois District Assembly, Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. It was He who has redeemed us by His own precious blood, enabling us to live godly and holy lives in this present evil age. We can do all things through Him who gives us strength. This year has gone by so quickly it is difficult to fathom that the Assembly is upon us again. We have had two inspiring revivals again this year, one with Rev. Bill Ulmet. With the help of Dr. John and Lou Connett we had more in attendance than imaginable. And the spirit of revival continues to this day. We made a few changes in order to minister to the needs of the congregation. We went through the series, "The Christian Atheist" for a six week period. That video series prompted some deep spiritual searching which yielded spiritual fruit. We also went to small group on Sunday evening right in the local church. This forces all to do some intensive Scriptural searches which causes us to grow in grace and knowledge. We are looking forward to the best year yet with some plans for building updates and growth in numbers and in spiritual depth. Respectfully submitted Pastor Ivan 70

74 ARCOLA SPANISH --IGLESIA DEL NAZARENO General Superintendent Dr. James Spruce, District Superintendent Members of our District Advisory Board, Pastors, Delegates, Friends & special Guests God has bless our ministry at Arcola Spanish, calling on members of the community are not Christian, but sympathize with our church. This has been the opportunity to not only share the Gospel, but to let them know the vision of who God means in their lives. We have managed to profit from this project. People that have never come to our church come on frequent bases. They are now hearing about God and his love. Actual old comers of our church have decided to become member in full communion with the Church of the Nazarene. We are planning not only to receive them as members, but also instruct them in what baptism means in their Christian lives. Thank you for your prayers and support. We hope to count with them in our future plans of your church and in the planting & sowing for the Lord s Kingdom. In His Service, Waldemar Pérez- López Pastor, Arcola - Spanish 72

76 AUBURN Dr. J. K. Warrick, Dr. Jim Spruce, members, and friends of this assembly: This will be my first report at the Auburn Church. It will be my thirty third as a Nazarene pastor. As most may know, I retired at the end of the fiscal year a year ago, and at the District Assembly was given my plague from the General Church for thirty-one years of service. (: Dee and I enjoyed our new status of retirement with an Alaskan Cruise in August, a trip back east for three weeks to be with family and spent a couple weeks in Florida. I also stayed busy making some repairs on our rental properties. Things seemed to be going along just great! We were attending Decatur First Church when we were home and in the area, and then a phone call came. The phone call came from Dr Spruce towards the end of November and asked if I would consider being Interim at the Auburn Church for at least until the end of the year. I said yes and our first Sunday was November 25 th. A few weeks went by and it was clear that we needed to be there longer than the first of the year. During that time the people at Auburn started to get into our hearts and God started speaking to us about becoming their pastor. The people at Auburn were telling us the same thing as well as Dr Spruce. We met with the Church Board on March 11 th and they gave us a unanimous call. We were installed on Sunday April 21, 2013 as their 34 th pastor. This report reflects God s hand at work in our lives and a wonderful congregation at Auburn that is ready to move forward and see what God wants to do through us. It has been remarkable how God has been working in these few short weeks to bring healing to such a wonderful congregation. There is a contemporary song that we have enjoyed over the last few weeks and it says it all. We Are Counting On God. Thanks goes to those who have put their faith in me and my beautiful wife that continues to support me in whatever God has in store for us. Retirement is on hold for now, but we are right where God wants us and enjoying the new challenge He has given. Respectfully Submitted, K. Lyle Artman 74

80 Beardstown As I review the past year I cannot help but realize how much God has chosen to do among us. We have seen God move in our services, work in revival, and speak through His Word in Bible Studies and Sunday School. I truly believe that this is all due to prayer. There have been some struggles this year. However I want to state that God is still at work. Yes, our average worship attendance for this past year has dipped down from a reported average last year of 86 to the average this year of 75. However, I also want to report that God has been moving in individual lives and we have had new families joining our congregation in worship. We have also had a struggle financially and we have cut costs where feasible to help offset the shortfall in income. With this and the faithfulness of those who tithe, we have finished the year in the black and with all budgets paid in full. Even with the measures we took, God deserves the glory for what He has accomplished through his faithful servants. We must constantly remember that anytime God is at work, you can expect Satan to work as well, for it is his desire to thwart the work of God on every level. So it was with each attack, God has proven Himself to be our Help and Guide, our Savior and Sustainer. To God be all of the glory as He continues to call us to put away the past and die to our personal ambitions and allow Him to work in and through us to accomplish His goal. Then, and only then will He pour out His Spirit upon us and build His Kingdom. This year has also seen direct answers to prayer which is why our prayer meetings are such a vital ministry. It is a praying people that witness God s miraculous work. This we can testify to. As a direct result of prayer we saw God move in a mighty way during our revival with Rev. Doug Haynes. It was during this revival that we witnessed the saving work of God as several individuals turned their lives over to the transforming work of God. It has been a great year for the Beardstown Church of the Nazarene when we consider what God has accomplished. This also provides us with a call for even more prayer as we remember that God is partnering with us to move against the very gates of Hell as He directs. And He directs us through prayer. May God alone be honored. Respectfully Submitted, James M. Craig, Jr. 78

84 Belleville Emmanuel It is with a humble and grateful heart that I bring to this Assembly my sixth report as pastor of Emmanuel Church. It is a privilege to serve our Lord in pastoral ministry. My prayer is that my life will always bring honor and glory to the church and most of all to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As I look back over the past church year I cannot help but realize how much God has chosen to do among us. I rejoice in His love, grace, care and presence. Truly He has been with His people here at Emmanuel in numerous ways. In August of 2012, Debbie and I attended the District Prayer Encounter and experienced an awesome and powerful time with God. Since the encounter, we ve have endeavored to lead Emmanuel into a deeper and more personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. I have preached a series of sermons on prayer and discipleship and we are beginning to see the fruits of these and of our special times of prayer. It is our desire to daily draw near to God and fulfill His will and purpose for ministry in our church and community. Like so many others, finances continue to be a struggle, but we stand amazed at how God has provided to meet our every need. We are thankful to be able to report all budgets paid in full. I wish time and space would allow me to tell you how God provided time after time; we do give Him all the praise! This coming September, Emmanuel will celebrate its 75 th anniversary with a celebration weekend on September All are invited; more information will be forthcoming to the district family. As we take time this fall to remember and look back, our main focus is on today and tomorrow and the mission field that is all around us. There is still much to be accomplished in reaching the lost of our area. Obstacles and challenges lay before us, but; Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in God! I tell you the truth, If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20 In His Hands, Russell W. Brewer, Pastor 82

86 Belleville First I am pleased to bring my eighth report as pastor of Belleville First Church of the Nazarene. Our focus as a congregation is to make Christ-like disciples by: 1) Introducing people to a life transforming relationship with Jesus. 2) Enfolding people into the Body of Christ through significant relationship. 3) Empowering people to serve in the work God s Kingdom. 4) Growing people mature in Christ (holiness of heart and life). Belleville First is a healthy congregation, evident in our fellowship, outreach to our community, and by the manner in which the congregation cares for one another. We are diligently praying and working to recover from the loss in attendance and finances over the past few years. We have started two prayer meetings and have implemented three additional emphases on corporate prayer. We are evaluating our ministries, prioritizing areas of focus, and setting goals in key areas. Some of these goals include: 1) How to grow as a prayer-centered congregation. 2) An emphasis on connecting with un-churched family and friends. 3) A focus on enfolding people into our church family by making specific invitations to our worship services, church events, and small groups. 4) An expansion of our small group ministry. We continue to see growth and opportunities in the Young Leaders Academy that we lead at our area school; Whiteside Middle School. We minister to 28 students and have 8 trained mentors who facilitate this program. Our summer lunch program (in partnership with 4 other churches) delivers almost 200 lunches, five day each week over ten weeks. This ministry provides lunches to children (and their families) who receive free lunches during the school year. A growing number of these children have participated in our VBS and Champions Sports Camp program. These activities are helping us build relationships with families in our community as well as with community leaders. Transition is a constant factor in the life of our congregation. We have sent some of our church families (mostly military families) to places such as, Tennessee, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Guam, Qatar, and Afghanistan. We also said good-bye to our youth pastor and his wife; Matt and Stephanie Soulia left BFCN in order to start an urban ministry in Matt s hometown of Flint, Michigan. This past August, we welcomed our new youth pastor and his wife, Kyle and Morgan Fellows. They both have been a blessing to our church family and we look forward to many years of ministry together. I am grateful for the daily ministry partnership of my wife, Lynne. She serves as our Administrative Assistant and works tirelessly caring for people in our congregation.

88 Belleville Korean Greetings in the name of our Lord! I am privileged to serve the church. I praise the Lord Jesus for his faithfulness and thank him for every accomplishment. We do not doubt that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. Mark 12:30 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Revelations 2:10 says, "Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life." Luke 16:10 says "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is just honest with very little will also be this honest with much." God's words of life are the ultimate power of overcoming any temptation and challenge. The greatest work is to exist and survive in the spiritual warfare. We experience the abundant grace and love in Christ every day. Our church celebrated the 20th anniversary last March. God has helped us grow up till now. God has allowed the faithful servants to be with us. God is good. Our church is focusing on serving, dedicating, and training. We would like to be the fertilizer used at sowing time for home and church. We emphasize the worship centered life, church centered life, and cross centered life. Our bible study group meets on Thursdays and Fridays. Tuesdays are our disciple training class. Early trip morning worship for prayer is the Korean tradition. We get together for early Morning Prayer worship at 5:30am. We have finished about 80% of the renovation of church and parsonage. We pray for the completion of the renovation and revival of our church. We are praying that we could be his channel of vision, hope, love and blessing to the world. It is God who works in us to will and to act according to his good purpose. He is able to give immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Philippians 3:14 says "I press on toward the good to win the prize for which God has called me Heavenward in Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 6:12 says "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life". We will welcome the challenges and uncertainty before us. Regardless of the cost or failure, we will fight the good fight and keep pressing on. It is with great optimism that we see tomorrow in Christ. Actually it is the absolute hope we expect God to do even greater things as we follow along. In closing, I am grateful for my family. I am grateful to the members of my church who continue to give a full dedication to their calling. My Prayer is to remain faithful and to increase my effectiveness for His calling.

90 Benton Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, members and friends of the Illinois District. This is my 7th and final report as pastor of the Benton Church of the Nazarene. It is also my 23rd and quite possibly my final report as a pastor in the Church of the Nazarene. I thank God, that in His wisdom, He provided for us the Church. It was a community of Believers in a little town we call "Old" Olivet that first taught me about the love of God and the gift of His Son. It was here that I first heard of entire sanctification and the possibility of a pure heart. It was here that I first witnessed holiness as a reality in the lives of Godly men and women. It was through the church that I was introduced to my wife. It was the church that helped us teach the truth of God's Word to our children and later gave them a place to receive an "Education with a Christian Purpose". The church has given me the means to answer God's call on my life. The avenue for preparation as well as places to serve. At every church I have found people who love the Lord people who were a joy to serve the Lord with, together. There is no question that I have received more from the Church than I have ever been able to give. It has been my strong desire to be faithful to my Lord--from the example I set, to the Word that I preached, to the counsel I gave, my desire was that I would represent and reflect well both my Lord and the church. It is with mixed emotions that I come to this point in my journey. I am not sure what tomorrow holds but I know who holds tomorrow. I will continue to seek ways to serve both the Lord and His Church.

92 Bethel Community It is an honor to bring to you my second report as pastor of Bethel Community Church of the Nazarene. It is an honor to serve a great God, and a great and generous group of people. It is our mission to make known the good news of the saving power of Jesus Christ. To bear Spirit-empowered witness to the events of Christ's life, death, resurrection, and calling of all people to repentance for the forgiveness of sins. May Jesus Christ be praised! Although it was another year of financial challenge, God graciously provided for us in miraculous ways. Two large love gifts made it possible for us to pay our parsonage renovation loan in full. Bethel is once again debt free! We again rejoice that all budgets are paid in full and praise God that He has enabled us to give 21% to others. Our efforts in ministry to children and youth have opened numerous doors to bring the gospel and the love of Jesus Christ to many broken lives. It thrilled us, and pleased the Lord, that an average of 50 children and 18 youth came through our doors every Wednesday night to hear of Jesus and His great love for them! Between 15 and 20 children now attend Sunday School and morning worship services on a weekly basis. Three children prayed to accept Christ as Savior and Lord on Easter Sunday and a number of youth have expressed a desire to know and live for Christ. Other ministry highlights include: Spring revival with Rev. Wayne Rose Four souls saved, one sanctified One new Nazarene, two by transfer Olivetians Concert Sunday morning breakfast provided for bus children Vacation Bible School (Record average attendance) Caravan Awards Ceremonies Kite Day for Kids Annual Weiner Roast Annual Christmas Candlelight Communion Service Speaker for Community Lenten Services Monthly financial support to Pregnancy Resource Center Bi-monthly financial support/food contribution to Christian Love In Action Bi-monthly financial support/food contribution to Cass County Food Pantry I thank God for my godly, loving wife, Sandy and my two children Kyle and Kaitlin.

94 Carbondale New Beginnings Community To: Dr. J. K. Warrick, Dr. Jim Spruce, and my Brothers and Sisters of the Illinois District This past year marks the ninth year from when Randy Wright and I planted New Beginnings Community Church in Carbondale; and many things look different today than they did then. From the original core group that began the church, there are only six adults and four children that remain. Ten out of a group of 30 that came to Carbondale to begin this Church; and four of the six adults are myself and Randy and our wives. Last year I wrote a bleak and fearful report that spoke of lack of money, lack of people and a not so spiritual future, but this year I am more optimistic. When I attended seminary, in my Spiritual Formation class, Drs. Dee Freeborn and Morris Weigelt taught on the radical optimism of grace. I have preached on this subject several times in the last twelve years, but this year it has truly become a part of who I am. I have discovered as a pastor that if I let go and let God have the situation, then it will turn out much better than if I stress about it. I have truly understood that radical optimism that only comes from the grace of our God. There are four areas that I would like to address: 1. Our Sunday average for was 42 and for it is 43. Although it is smaller than were we were five years ago, I have set back and think God for all the new people that he has brought to New Beginnings. Many core members have gone and they have been replaced by a whole new church, people from Carbondale and the surrounding area. 2. This new group of people that makes up New Beginnings at this time have their own identity and with it we needed to refocus the church and that is why we began the refocus process with the District Missionary Mark Copley this past fall. This is going to take dedication of those who will be a part of the Refocus Team, but with it will come a new direction for our church. 3. We are still a small church and we are serving a poverty stricken area and people. There are still weeks that we are down to our last few dollars, but I am not worrying about it. In fact we have been able to pay our budgets in full, and pay extra; and at the end of the day we still do not have any money in the bank, but the Lord continues to bless us with what we need to get through this horrible economic times. 4. Last but not least has been New Beginnings spiritual health. I challenged everyone last year and the response was tremendous and there is a new spirit in our church. We are moving forward by the grace of God looking to all the Lord has in store for us in the next year. I have seen people grow spiritually over the last year and with this they have discipled others. Although we have not grown greatly numerically over the last year, we have seen a great movement of the Lord. We might not have been able to afford a revival this last year, but we have had an actual revival of the life of this church. It is my hope and my prayer that this same spirit will exist next year. Yes, we have had our ups and downs over the past year, but we have also had a multitude of blessings. We had another great Vacation Bible School, we were visited by Shawn Cooper, Preaching Ambassador from Olivet Nazarene University, we were visited by Mark Copley, District Missionary, and last but not least we were visited by Dr. Warrick and his wife, who brought along Dr. Talmadge Johnson and his wife to our church. We have seen two people join the church. We have baptized five people this year. We have seen two young families either, come back to the church or start coming to the church and I look forward to more in the future. With the Radical Optimism that is only found in the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I can truly say that I look forward to this next year with eager anticipation of who God will send through the doors of New Beginnings and the direction that the Holy Spirit will take us. I thank God in advance for all the blessings He will bring us in church year. Respectfully submitted, Pastor Brian Trambley 92

96 Carlinville This is my 7 th report as Pastor of the Carlinville C.O.T.N. When I gave my annual report to the church for the church year I preached from Deuteronomy 7:1 where the Lord told the Israelites to break camp and advance. That was our battle cry and mission. We have seen the Lord do some great things this year, we have also seen the enemy attack. A year ago our attendance was down we were hurting financially and there was no clear light at the end of the tunnel. The Lord changed all that. We have seen new converts; we have seen former attendees return as well as new faces. We have grasped the need to be a church of prayer warriors. People are growing in their relationships with Christ, We have eliminated Debt and for the first time in 3 years have our budgets paid in full. We serve an awesome God. It s not always easy and we have had set backs but we know that with Jesus the victory is already won Respectfully Submitted Rev. Don Harrison 94

98 Carmi Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, and Members and friends of the 2013 Illinois District Assembly: I am honored to bring you my 6 th report as pastor of the Carmi Church of the Nazarene. It seems that each year we live brings more challenges than the year before. We were looking last year at this time for a little relief after coming out of the Nursing home on April 2, but to our surprise Barb was taken very ill, and has not gotten out of the woods yet after 3 surgeries and facing another. We are both blest to have a Church family who has been so supportive through all of our sickness. The Church has matured this year and we have seen some new members pick up some of the work that is needed. Our fall revival was well attended and one of the best combination of singing and preaching I have ever been a part of. I have officiated nineteen funerals this past year, preached and sang at eighty six services outside the regular preaching and singing in the church and held eleven Board meetings. I deeply appreciate the work of our Church Board Secretary, Denise Elliott. We have loaded her down to almost capacity, with writing of board minutes, music director, being sure our budget process is on track, plus always at the piano. Barb Carter has taken the Treasurers responsibility to heart and is doing a great job. Roger Robinson is involved with the Sunday school and other things in the Church. Our Wednesday School is growing and up to today we have averaged fifty four in attendance. We have averaged fifty five in worship and last Sunday had the largest attendance of the year. The children and Youth departments are gradually building with the leadership of Ashley Elliott, and Kim Wooten has done a great job with story time for children. Barb Robinson has led our NMI and it looks as if we will be a 10% Church this year with all budgets paid in full. It has been a joy for us to serve another year. We have been appointed one more year by the District, and I am looking forward to a great year. The Church board has been a great support to Barb and I and all of our family; I thank God for all of them. I tell my church family often that I love them and that there are no runts in this bunch. With our continued faithfulness, God will bring some great things to pass among us. I desire to be a part of a great move of God in our Church and have asked the Church to continue joining together to make that happen. Remember, we are in this together.

100 Casey First Dr. Spruce and District friends, This is my second report as pastor of Casey First, and I am glad to report that we did not suffer through a sophomore slump but the Holy Spirit is still on the move! Once again we have seen increases in Sunday school, morning and evening worship and small groups. But most importantly there has been a tremendous presence of the Holy Spirit as we have worshipped together that has truly made Casey First a family of God. Praise the Lord. Our mission statement is to see souls saved and sanctified and the Holy Spirit is doing just that on a weekly basis. But the ministry miracles at Casey First are not just happening on Sunday. We have four young people who feel called to the ministry and there are more than fifty teens meeting on Wednesday nights. It seems like every night there is something happening at Casey First- which is awesome! Not only has it been a great year but the future looks even brighter as we experience the abundant life Jesus promised. Last year Pastor Todd had a vision of the vowels of Discipleship. A- Accountability, E- Encouragement, I- Instruction, O- Opportunity, U- Unity, and Y- Always Yield. Through these vowels (and vows) of discipleship God has led Casey First to go out and make disciples of all nations- starting right here in Casey, Illinois. As we learn to embrace these vowels we are not only seeing new people become part of our family here at Casey First, but we are seeing people embrace the Great Commission and going out and making disciples! What a wonderful God we serve! I love being a pastor of a church that is a lighthouse for the Lord. It has been a blessing to work with Pastor Todd Holman and Amy along with a church board that not only talks the talk but walks the walk. I thank God for my wonderful wife, Vicki, and my children Jennifer and Stephan, they are my joy and strength. And this year I am going to become a grandpa! Serving God just gets better and better! Which is why every day I thank the best boss in the world- my Abba Father. Every time I tell Him that I can t do this job, He reminds me that He can. With God s blessings, Jesus love, and the Holy Spirit s power Casey First is going to keep going, keep growing in Spirit and in numbers. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Allen J. Ebbler 98

102 Centralia Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, and the Illinois District Assembly, It is my honor to report once again from Centralia. As in past years, Centralia has had ups and downs as most churches typically do. However, we have tried to do a few things we considered to be radically different this past year. Those are the ideas I wish to share. Instead of doing a traditional VBS last year, we developed a program we dubbed, Interactive Families. Instead of a one-week intensive ministry to children, we decided to proceed with a summer long program where we unified the morning worship service theme with a Sunday evening time for reinforcing the theme. The sermons were based on the parables of Jesus, and evening activities included songs, crafts, games, etc. to help drive home the lesson of the parable. Key to this ministry was an evening meal where adults were encouraged to attend with their children, and while the children had their lessons, the adults had lessons based on The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman. The idea was to help the adults learn to build better relationships between the adults based on better communication in sharing our love for one another. The program was such a success, we ended up extending it an additional three months and the adults covered the book Personality Plus to better understand why we are the way we are and that being different can be a strength rather than a constant source of conflict. As a result of this ministry, family units have grown stronger, and relationships seem to be improving. This summer rather than proceed in that same format, we are going to attempt to develop outreach activities such as allchurch trips to the zoo to build unity among the congregation, their families, and hopefully offer opportunities to attract people who do not attend to become involved. Our desire is to reach beyond the walls of the church building and help build better families, which we believe will have dramatic impact on the community as well as the Kingdom. Prayer has been the foundation upon which we have made these decisions. And to that end, we have begun utilizing Wednesday evening simply as a time of praying the Scriptures. God s word is replete with promises, for the lost, for our families, for our spiritual growth, and the list continues. We have found resources whereby the authors have taken the promises of Scripture and written prayers based on these promises. Our time on Wednesday evening is one of unity in praying these prayers, believing that God is calling us to a prayer ministry. Results are happening, and as we are praying, God continues to move in ways we might have previously though improbable. God is moving in Centralia. We do not know exactly where we are headed, but we know who is leading us and we willingly are following. Respectfully submitted, Pastor Tim Mondy 100

104 Champaign First It was the best of times it was the worst of times Do kids still read that in school? Regardless, that is a pretty good description of our year at Champaign First Church of the Nazarene. This year we completed a $90,000 renovation of our existing building. We replaced our HVAC system and are seeing a significant reduction in our utilities. We renovated restrooms, replaced flooring, rebuilt our platform and made it handicap accessible, traded our pews for chairs and even repaired some brick on the outside of the building. This was good. We saw people accept Jesus as their savior. Others came to know the experience of entire sanctification. This was great! We started a group for twenty somethings that is progressing well. Love it! And there is no room to tell how our teen group progressed, how our small groups loved on each other and the myriad of other ways our people loved God and others this year. We also had some hard things this year. Last summer our children s pastor, Cory Swinderman, was called to be the lead pastor at Chrisman. I can hear the tearing of the heart strings still ringing in my ears. Soon after that we ran into complications with the city over our platform remodel. This messed up our contractor s schedule and between the two our two week platform remodel turned into a three month process. Our worship and tech teams went the second, third and fourth miles as they hauled their equipment on and off the platform each week during this process! In the midst of these things we lost people. Some moved, others just moved on and for a while it seemed God had closed the front door. Ok, the worst of times is a bit grim, but it wasn t a lot of fun. I m happy to report things are turning around. The remodel is nearly finished, our children s department is reorganized and reenergized, and God has opened our front door once again. We have seen new families in the last three months and many are staying. I thank God for our CFC Family that worked so hard and put in extra hours in so many ways this year! God is Good and we continue to work towards our vision: To show our love for God and for people by helping them GET CONNECTED to God, to a Group and to a Team. In Christ, Pastor Jim High 102

106 Champaign New Day Community Dr. Toler, Dr. Spruce, friends and Delegates to this Assembly. I bring to you my 11 th report for New Day Community Church of the Nazarene. The last eleven years has been in many ways the most challenging in my 26 years of Pastoral ministry. When we moved back to Illinois in Dec. of 2002 we knew that it was God s will to be home, closer to dying parents and to be Pastor of New Day Community Church to be a part of it coming back from the dead. My biggest struggle has been the restrictions that working fulltime for our local High School has placed on my time and my ability to lead us to a new day at New Day. Being bi-vocational has required all of us to make some sacrifices. My family has to sacrifice time, my Church has had to sacrifice my availability and I have had to sacrifice some of my gifts and leadership investment in order to squeeze ministry into a very limited schedule. With that said, we have again been able to make an impact by introducing our Church and most importantly our Savior to several non- Christian families in Champaign-Urbana and beyond. We have had more visitors this year than any year in the last 7-8 years and we are making some progress in seeing people with no understanding of Christianity or now Church background begin to show some interest in God and His family. As always finances have been a struggle, but we have been able to do more on our obligations this year than in several previous years combined and we believe that God will continue to help us make strides into a lost community and show His light to some very needy people.

108 Chrisman Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of this Assembly, it is my privilege to be submitting my first report as Pastor of the Chrisman Church of the Nazarene and my first report as an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. It has been a great blessing for me to complete my first year of ordained church service with the Chrisman congregation. Over the past year, it has become increasingly evident that our church has a passion for the ministry areas of worship, discipleship, and missions. We ve experienced God s presence in our times of Worship this year. In the fall we hosted a revival with Rev. Dan Bohi, and in the spring we hosted a family revival with Big Blast Ministries. These revivals were intentionally very different. Indelible images from each include people seeking to be filled with the Spirit in the fall, and visiting children and adults going to the altar for the very first time in the spring. We ve provided opportunities for spiritual growth through discipleship. This year was our first year in many years to offer Caravan at our church. Caravan is offered just as school lets out, and our church is a short walk from the school. It has been an effective outreach to our community, and 12 children graduated from the program this year. Our church has a heart to serve others through missions. In addition to paying our WEF budget and Alabaster offerings, the Chrisman Church has continued to send monthly support to 5 Nazarene churches in Guyana, South America, sponsored 3 orphans in the Philippines, and sponsored 1 Nazarene pastor s daughter in Papua New Guinea. Giving to these missions extras over the last few years has allowed the Chrisman Church to extend its ministry influence beyond the small town of Chrisman, IL, which continues to be a deep desire of our congregation. Please continue to pray for our church as God continues to help us worship, grow, and serve in the new church year. Respectfully Submitted, Pastor Cory Swinderman 106

110 Clinton First On April 21, I announced to my congregation that our time together was coming to an end. I will be starting a Doctor of Theology program at Boston University this fall. It has been such a blessing to be the pastor of Clinton Church of the Nazarene and I am grateful for the ways God has worked and will continue to work in and through this congregation. Sunday after Sunday for 6 years now, we have proclaimed together that We are called to be a community that is a faithful image of God s love and I say Thanks be to God because there are so many ways that calling is becoming a reality among us. When I think of that calling becoming a reality among us, I think of Easter Sunday and Isaiah s baptism and how well he knew the stories of Acts in our class time together and how that is a testament to Kathie s faithfulness in our children s quizzing program. I think of how our teens went without food for 30 hours that weekend so that the hunger of others might be alleviated. I think about how our congregation gave generously that Sunday to meet and exceed their goal, raising over $1700 for hungry children around the world. I think about how everyone gave in that offering just days after having given in the offering at our Good Friday service, an offering which goes to help those in need in our own community. I think about how in that Community Good Friday service we united with our brothers and sisters in Christ around our Lord s Table to declare that our allegiance to Christ is greater than our denominational loyalty. And all of that was in just one weekend! It is to say nothing of the previous weekend when the teens participated in their district quizzing finals; a testament to Connie Crawley s faithfulness in coaching them to memorize scripture. Time would fail me to tell of Janet, who jumpstarted my prayer life a number of years ago or Myra, Marie, and Shirley who have met with me for prayer three times a week nearly every week since or the selfless acts of service and witness to our community through 4th Wednesday, the Rummage for the Cure, and the Salvation Army Bell Ringing or the tireless dedication of our musicians, our Sunday School teachers, and our children s workers. Not only that but there are also new images of God s love and faithfulness springing up all the time. I think of Ashley Oakley s new leadership on the outreach committee, the caregivers group recently started, and those newly received into the membership. Every one of us is, indeed, surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. We are ever becoming what God has called us to be: a community that is a faithful image of God s love. I believe the future of this church will be brighter than its past as long as there is continued dedication to that calling. I can not express enough thanks to the members of this congregation for allowing me to be their pastor these past six years. It is an experience that shaped me to be a more complete disciple of Jesus. I know that God will continue to minister through them in so many ways. Rev. David Young 108

112 Collinsville Good Samaritan This is my third report to the congregation as senior pastor of such a loving, generous people. One key objective our church has been working toward this past year has been to become an indispensable resource to our community. Let me briefly share three opportunities the Lord has provided for us toward meeting this goal. This past year we have made great strides in strengthening our relationship with the faculty, staff and over 800 students of the Collinsville Middle School located directly across the street from our church facility. Principal Jackson has warmly welcomed our invitation to be of service. Working in partnership with the administration and teachers, our church was able to offer a weekly tutoring program for academically-challenged students. We have been able to not only assist students with their schooling, but doors have opened for us to share our very lives as well. This past spring Shantrez and his mom, Aretha, relocated to Collinsville from East St. Louis. It was the middle of the school year. Shantrez began attending the weekly after-school tutoring sessions. His mom worked long hours and weekends at a local fast food restaurant. We soon learned that Shantrez had to spend many Sunday mornings sitting at the restaurant while his mom worked. When he learned that the tutors were from the church across the street, he asked if he might be able to catch a ride and come to church on Sunday. Several of our church s middle school students from the church have befriended Shantrez, enfolding him into our church family. Today, both Shantrez and his mom considers the Good Samaritan Church their home. A second opportunity afforded our congregation toward becoming a greater resource to our community came about through a strategic partnership with several other area churches. Recognizing the many low-income and hungry people living in our community, several churches joined together to establish S.O.S., a ministry which offers a free meal and extends table fellowship every Tuesday evening. Every other month the Good Samaritan church is responsible for providing this great ministry to the hungry and marginalized people of our city. One final story. After being released from prison Chase started attending Sunday service at the invitation of his grandmother. Chase invited his friend, Juan, a young man who spent considerable time in prison for armed robbery. Chase and Juan both had considerable questions about God and any sort of a hope-filled future Fast-forward one year. Juan and Chase both stood before our congregation, confessing their need and love for their Savior and then were baptized. Their future is bright. God is at work among the people in Collinsville, empowering us to reach a lost community with the hope of Christ. Pastor Kevin Hancock 110

114 Decatur First 2012/13 has been a year of transition for Decatur First Church of the Nazarene. Even so, we celebrate God s leading through the process. After my wife and I accepted the call in December 2012, we moved from Raleigh, NC and started in the pulpit March 3, After three months we can say without reservation that God has us right where He wants us. This year D1Naz averaged 627 in worship attendance and took in an income of 785k. Beyond that and more importantly, 44 became new members, we baptized 9 people, 62 received Christ as Lord and Savior in our worship services, and several hundred were reached through special outreach ministries. Pastoral Staff: Pastor Jeremiah McClure accepted the call as Youth Pastor and moved from Charlotte, NC one month after our family arrived. This year the church also celebrated the retirement of Associate Pastor, Ed Abla and Financial Manager, Gene Ray. They have served the church faithfully over the years and we are thankful for all they have contributed. Pastor Tim Lourash transitioned from Youth Pastor to Associate Pastor and Danaka Bulthuis was promoted to position of Finance Manager (from the daycare). Ministries: Helping Hands increased outreach to families across Macon County as we now supply food to hundreds of people each month. Celebrate Recovery grew in attendance to over 35 per week; CR also sponsored the movie Home Run, which ended up staying in Decatur for three weekends. Upwards Basketball and Cheerleading increased from 140 last year to 190 this year; through this program we reach hundreds of families in the Decatur/Forsyth community. PASSION 2013 celebrated its 5 th anniversary, through this drama presentation we reached upward of 2000 people over the course of five nights and more than 100 made decisions for Christ. Treasures Adoptions Ministry is growing and many families in our church are adopting special needs children from abroad; D1Naz has over 40 adopted children as part of our church family. Creative Kid s Daycare increased their enrollment once again and now have over 150 kids attending. Our Daycare Director, Dianne Cox also wrote a grant and received it in the amount of $11,000. We praise God for the many victories celebrated this year. Other Highlights: Kids Wednesday Night Boot Camp last summer, Family Fun Fest, VBS, and Crosswalk are a few ministries that made an impact in our community. Our new website is and we are in the process of casting a new vision in Decatur and the surrounding area. Decatur First is a great church with a promising future. I believe God is leading us into an exciting future filled with promise and hope. I am thankful for the opportunity so serve on the Illinois District and look forward to the years ahead. Dr. Brian L.

116 Decatur Oak Grove Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of this Assembly, It is my honor and privilege to be submitting my second report as the pastor of Oak Grove Church of the Nazarene. It has been an exciting and fruitful year in many ways. Many of the seeds that have been planted in years past have begun to bear fruit for the good of the Kingdom and of our local church. The year was mark by growth, both spiritually as well as numerically. Through the services and ministries of our church we have had four people accept Christ as their savior. Attendance has been slowly climbing and we have accepted four individuals into membership. This year is also marked by growth in ministries. We have not only started up a new Sunday school class for young boys and a Wednesday night women s ministry, but we have also started the first youth group this church has seen in some time. We have also had more people using their gifts and talents to glorify to God through helping with music and sound on Sunday mornings. More than just inward growth, Oak Grove continually seeks grow in its impact on the community. This year we have been privileged to reach nearly sixty children with the message of a God who loves and cares for them through our VBS ministry. Through partnering with Hopeful Hearts Ministry we have been able to show the tangible love of God to dozens in our community. And through various other events and opportunities we have made connections with well over a hundred individuals in our community. God is moving in exciting ways in and through Oak Grove and we look forward to the future that He has for us. Respectfully Submitted, Pastor Timothy Mezera 114

118 Decatur Parkway Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of this Assembly: Praise God for His faithfulness! God has blessed and He is still blessing. Praise His name! The choirs of Trinity, Oak Grove, and Parkway combined again to present another great Christmas musical directed by Pastor Ron Black. Thanks to the choirs and Pastor Ron Black for making this event a time of blessing, worship and praise. On the Sunday following the musical the Children s Dept. presented a program entitled For the Glory of the King directed by Kim Byrne. The Christmas story was presented in story and song by the children, youth and adult participants. Thanks to the Children s Dept., to all involved, and to Kim Byrne. This spring ten of Parkway s faithful ventured on another Work & Witness trip to Florida at the Missionary Village in Bradenton. God certainly was with the team as they traveled to Florida and back to Illinois. Thanks to David Bailey and the Parkway W & W Team! This was David & Sheila Bailey s final trip to Florida as Work & Witness leaders for Parkway. Larry & Jeanette Butler will assume this role and continue the Work & Witness tradition of Parkway. A special thanks to Shari Tapscott our office administrator who faithfully takes care of the church office at Parkway. Thanks to David Taylor our Sunday school Superintendent, Tina Eller our NMI President, Jeff Mannlein our NYI President, and Ron & Marilyn Black our faithful associates in ministry. I love the Lord Jesus today and I want to be found faithful in His service. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit s presence will touch our hearts in a new and powerful way.

120 Decatur Trinity Praise goes to the Lord for giving us another good year at Decatur Trinity and for restoring me back to full health. Praise His holy name! Even though the Lord blesses us greatly, we must also report that we have no immunity to the difficult economy. When a factory here in town closed its doors, two of our families lost their main income. One family of four sought other income opportunities in another state. Ouch! It hurts when a small church loses a family of four. For the previous two years we averaged 51 in morning worship, but I would like to announce that even with the family moving, whom we miss dearly, we still with God's help, managed to average 52 in morning worship! I would like to report about our good revival but it was in May and occurred after this report was sent and not in the church year this report represents. This will have been the third time we had Dr. John Juneman from Nashville, TN for a revival at Decatur Trinity. Ask me later and I'll tell you more about him. God shows up in our services and we enjoy giving praise to Him! People are getting help at our altar and our sense of family is strong. We are looking forward to another good year at Trinity. To God be the glory! Respectfully submitted, Pastor Dan Taylor 118

122 Decatur West Side This is my second report as pastor of Decatur West Side. This has been a year of positive adjustments as the congregation adjusted to the new pastor and as I adjusted to a new congregation. Our two largest outreach efforts were late in the calendar year. We had well over 500-people attend our annual Trunk-or-Treat Halloween alternative. We tried to invite every person who came through to come worship with us. In early December, West Side was the sponsor church joining with the central Illinois ministry known as Operation Sleighbell, providing Christmas gifts to financially challenged families. I had the incredible pleasure of sharing the message of salvation with 335-families in three-day time, as well as inviting each of those families to our church! This year we have intentionally and actively used our Thrift Shop as a means of inviting people to worship with us. Those in our neighborhood know our Thrift Shop more than they know our church. We now diligently utilize our Thrift Shop to point people to our church. On Easter Sunday, we rejoiced as fifteen-people prayed to accept Christ as their personal Savior! The majority of those individuals were new to our church. The church also raised $6,000 to purchase FOUR motorcycles for the pastors in Sri Lanka. Our folks got excited about this project, partly because I ride a motorcycle. We are currently planning for the future, seeking God s wisdom in knowing how to most effectively impact our neighborhood for Him. We are praying for His supernatural revitalization of 95-year-old Decatur West Side Church of the Nazarene. The need is great, but our Savior is more-than-enough! We believe great days are ahead for West Side! Yours for Souls! Steve Cecil 120

124 DuQuoin This is my sixth report as Pastor of the DuQuoin Church of the Nazarene. Even though I am in retirement status, it is an honor to have the opportunity to continue serving in the ministry. It has been a joyful experience to pastor the dedicated people of DuQuoin. Along with driving 150 miles each Sunday for Sunday School and Worship, I have attended all board meetings, revival services, visited many homes and hospitals, attended work days and special activities at the church. These past years the field of evangelism has been open to us and several have found Jesus as their Savior. We love the people of the DuQuoin Church. They are willing to be challenged in regards to giving of themselves. There is a deep sense of faithfulness regarding their obligations to the church, district and general alike. Many times there are expressions of their appreciation for our coming to be their pastor. It is our prayer that as we anticipate the coming year, praying and seeking His Will, that souls will be won to Jesus and lives changed. Joan and I pray that we will be a witness and a blessing to those who do not know our wonderful Savior. Respectfully Submitted, Pastor Michael D. Ice 122

126 Dupo Bluffview Christian Center This past year has been one of the most difficult one for the ten plus years in ministry, as I am sure many other pastors have experienced as well. All facets of the ministry we have seen many valleys but very little peeks. The terrible economy has trickled down to a much diminished giving. There has been a slight drop in attendance but extremely difficult to maintain new attendees because many have found the church in general irrelevant today, including those who grew up in the church. It has become even more difficult to maintain visitors on a regular basis because the holiness living that I preach regularly is not well accepted among those of the world, and I refuse to compromise the scriptures. It has also been extremely discouraging to watch what is going on within the church in general, and the compromise of so called Christians to fit more into the world instead of their faith. It is even hard as a pastor to maintain my own spirit because of all this, but I refuse to compromise my calling simply to help fill pews and increase the giving. On an encouraging note, I do have a small core group within the church that has doubled down their commitment to the church and to their faith that I believe will go a long way in this coming church year. We also just started a teen ministry of reaching out to them with their own hangout place on Friday & Saturday nights. We have seen over 80 different teens come through the door and average about 20 teens per night. Through generous donations and creative financing we will soon finish an outdoor park on our property for the teens to use as well as families within the neighborhood and community. This will be an excellent outreach for the church and great potential in reaching lost souls for God s kingdom, praise be to God. Pastor Ronald Hebel Bluffview Christian Center Dupo Nazarene 124

128 East St. Louis Rush Memorial I am pleased to submit my seventh report, to the District as pastor of the Rush Memorial Church of the Nazarene. God continues to bless our efforts as we build relationships with a community that seems to have lost all hope in having any kind of relationship with a loving, merciful, and forgiving God. God, through our compassionate ministry has made a way for us to reach out to the homeless community and all others who are in need, to build relationships with them to lead them to a personal relationship with Him. Our church has and always will be a beacon of hope for those who are lost to find their way back to salvation, a gift that only comes through Jesus Christ. God continues to bless our church, as we faithfully serve Him. Last year and this year God blessed our Thanksgiving Community Dinner, with a multitude of people who came to share the love of God with us. We were blessed to receive donations from people throughout the Metro-East area who wanted to show love to those in need. By far, last year and this year was the largest dinner we have had the pleasure of hosting at our church. In our bible study and prayer meeting we continue to pray and search the Scriptures for the truths of God s Word as it relates to each of us living a life that will glorify and please Him. God continues to bless our efforts as we seek to glorify Him each and every day. As we continue to build bridges in the community through our compassionate ministry, we leave the confines of our church walls every Thursday to go out on the streets to take the Gospel of Christ to people who will never enter the doors of a traditional church. We have entered our twelfth year of ministering to people who live on the streets. God has allowed us to build relationships and trust with the people we come in contact with. We truly believe people will be saved through this ministry of love God has given us. God has allowed our church doors to remain open for twenty plus years. Some people have asked, How are we able to keep the doors open? It is by the grace of God and the faith we as a congregation have in a loving God who is worthy to be praised. Although we are a small congregation, God has empowered us to reach out to the surrounding community with His Word and His love to plant and water so the Holy Spirit can bring people into a personal relationship with Him. I m reminded of Gideon, in the book of Judges. God told Gideon he had to many men, take them down to the water and he would separate them. God did this, so the other nations would know it wasn t the number of men Gideon had that would give him the victory it was God. Having a small congregation we realize it s not about the number of people we have, it s about the presence of God empowering us through the Holy Spirit to do the work He has given us to do. In God s time the people with come, all we have to do is continue to lift Him up. We faithfully believe people will be saved here at Rush, as God allows our lives to show evident of the hope we have in Him, we pray people will want the same thing we have a personal relationship with Him, that leads to eternal life for us.

130 Edgemont Grace It is my privilege once again to submit my annual report to the Illinois District as Pastor of the Edgemont Grace Church. First, I want to give thanks to the Lord for His inexpressible grace toward me and the people of our church, as He has brought about many kind expressions of His blessings in our congregation. I have seen God work in the lives of some to deepen their desire to know Him more personally. I have been told that our mid-week Bible study has stimulated the desire to understand God s word and be drawn closer to Him. Lives are continually being challenged to apply the teaching of The Word and individual souls are receiving the assurance that God s Word brings hope into their daily lives. We have not seen any new converts this year but we ve had a number of visitors who have told us how our services have blessed them and opened up their understanding of God s Word. Our prayer is that not only would their understanding be opened but the Holy Spirit would lead them into our fellowship as new Nazarenes. Like all other churches on the District we have had our share of challenges. We are still in need of a new building. Some of our longtime members are at the point where they aren t able to be in attendance on Sunday or Wednesday night any longer. Also, this year we experienced what s becoming a common type of vandalism to other congregations in our area; our air conditioning compressor was stolen. However; our faith in an all knowing and good God gives us the determination that He is working all things out according to His perfect will for us.

132 Fairfield Fountain of Life Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, member and friend of this District Assembly this is my 25th pastor report and my first being back in the pastorate after being out for 5 years. It is a joy and a pleasure to serve the Lord at Fairfield Fountain of Life Church of the Nazarene. They are the best congregation I have had in my 25 years of ministry. They love us and most of all they love the Lord and you can feel it when you come to the services. They have a wonderful spirit and we all have seen the Lord work in miracles ways this year. They have been without a pastor to live there for the past years. They were given some money to get a parsonage and it didn t seem like enough but as in everything in God's will He works things out. We have a new double wide home. We have seen God answer so many other prayers as well. A few of those are we had a week long revival with an average attendance of 25 each night with many from the community from even other churches coming in. Also we had 52 come to the church for Easter Sunday which was our last Sunday for our revival. One last thing is we have a new sign with the times of our services on it so everyone can see it as they pass by the church. We are planning our first VBS that we have had in a number of years with the help of the Carlinville church puppeteers. We realize we don't have any children but we are stepping out in faith that God is going to bring in children and parents from our VBS. God is working and we are looking forward to the coming year to see what God is going to do. God s Ambassador and your servant Norlyn Crandall 130

134 Fairview Heights Parkview I continue to enjoy my ministry to the Parkview congregation and in the Metro East area of St. Louis. The people continue to be wonderfully supportive of their church and their pastor. Advancing in the understanding of the Holy Scriptures is rewarding to see as people hunger and thirst for the truth, then share the joy of understanding God s will in a way previously not understood. In the face of financial uncertainties we are continually blessed with funds coming in from unexpected sources. There are times when we marvel with one another over God s working in ways we could not imagine. Through fiscal discipline and faithful giving we ended our year in the black. I a need arises with ministry positions, people step up and step in to serve. In the face of some serious structural problems with our facility the people have rallied in full unity to face the challenge, remaining positive and expressive of their faith in God as our caring Father. The people know how to love their pastor and wife. It is truly heartwarming how they find ways throughout the year to express their love and support of our ministry. As the church endeavors to adjust to the changes in our world, the saints acknowledge and accept such efforts. Such maturity is a joy to see. In the coming year we will continue to look to God through the scriptures and dedicated prayer for direction in a changing world. We will work to develop measurable discipleship in our educational efforts. We will also pursue and complete the repair of the failing trusses in our main sanctuary. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Jay Shoff, Pastor 132

136 Flora There s a great story of a mother of eight children who returned from the grocery store to find five of her youngest children sitting in a circle quietly playing in the middle of the floor. Unable to see what they were doing, the mother put down her sacks of groceries and walked over to find the children playing with five cute little skunks. Instantly, the terrified mother yelled, Run, children, run! Each child grabbed a skunk and ran in five different directions. The mother was beside herself and screamed louder. It so scared the children that each one squeezed their skunk. And as you may know, skunks don t like to be squeezed. There is a smorgasbord of fear fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of the dentist, fear of the dark, and on and on it goes. But in the church, probably the greatest fear is the fear of change. Over this past year, the church in Flora confronted this fear, asking ourselves, How do we need to change to better accomplish our mission? Change hasn t been easy. In fact, this has been the hardest year of my twenty-three years of ministry, and one of the hardest years for the church in recent history. Relational issues that had been holding the church back were painfully confronted. Sensing the need for greater unity in fellowship, we went back to one morning service after having two morning services for over fifteen years. Recognizing how we as a congregation had become mere spectators in worship, we made some noticeable changes that encourage participation: worship leaders gave way to worship teams, pastors reading Scripture to congregational readers, revising our greeter and usher ministries, etc. Though the changes weren t easy, the response has been tremendous: 17 people involved in four worship teams, 12 people participating in instrumental ensembles, 20 people volunteering to read Scripture, 25 serving on a greeter rotation, etc. My prayer for the Flora Church for this new year is that we will keep asking the question, How do we need to change to better accomplish our mission, and that we will bravely follow where the Lord Jesus leads.

138 Georgetown Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of this Assembly; This is my 12 th report for the Georgetown Church of the Nazarene. A few months after moving to Georgetown I was visiting at Carle Hospital and saw a pastor from another district that I have known for a long time. The pastor knew we had moved to Georgetown and asked where we were pastoring and I told him we were at Georgetown when he looked at me and said are you still there. I thank the Lord for the people at Georgetown. They have been wonderful to my wife and I. After our auto accident a year ago April we could not have ask for a kinder or more compassionate congregation. This past year has been a challenging year for the church and Wanda and I coming back, but the Lord has always been faithful. We haven t broken any records this year, but praise the Lord He has kept our people together. Pray for the future of the Georgetown Church that we will reach our community for Christ. Pastor Gary E.

140 Glenview Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of the Illinois District. This is my 33 rd report for Glenview and my 39th report to the Illinois District. As a church, we have a mission to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. We have continued to strive to fulfill this mission. It is an honor to present this report on behalf of our entire church family. The listed accomplishments and those unlisted are the result of great team effort with everyone striving to achieve their goals. Once again the church has had an excellent year financially and spiritually. It is a real joy to pastor and worship with the people of Glenview. It is amazing what will happen when the people are unified in the Spirit of Christ and truly love the Lord Jesus. Our big event this year was to purchase four new commercial type furnaces at $12,500 for the Nazarene Sun Valley Indian School at Sun Valley, Arizona. This was our Special Missions Project. It is a wonderful blessing to be able to help these Navaho Indian children with a serious need. This is the only school teaching and reaching the Navaho Indian children with a secular and spiritual education. The church family loves their parsonage family and this love is deeply reciprocated. We truly enjoy pastoring these wonderful people. Glenview is committed to loving God and others. We are anticipating great things this next year as we pray, fast, and work together.

142 Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Godfrey One of the highlights of the church year was when the church s offer to provide volunteers for school functions was accepted. Two events where the church was invited to help were Celebrating Dr. Seuss Birthday and Fall Fun Day. It was a joy to have many of our senior adults volunteer to read books to several classes at the school s Celebrating Dr. Seuss Birthday event. An even greater joy was hearing how much the seniors and children enjoyed getting to know each other. At the school s Fall Fun Day, several adults and seniors came out to man various stations throughout the school grounds. We served popcorn, ice slush cups, received tickets, cheered the kids on as they went through our stations, and had the opportunity to get to know the parents of the children who live in our neighborhood. This fall we will again offer to volunteer at the school; to be readers, man booths, and serve where we are asked to serve. Our goal: To build relationships with and serve the many families in our community, introducing them to Jesus by being like Him. Respectfully Submitted, Stephen A. Shotts 140

144 Granite City CTM Greetings in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ! It is my pleasure to report for the third year on our organic church ministry in Granite City. I can say with confidence that Jesus is still Lord of his church! We started the year with The Tangible Kingdom Primer. This small group resource is an eight-week journey into the mission to which God calls his followers. Through the daily activities and weekly rhythms, we began to see our neighborhoods and workplaces with new eyes. We were faced with some of our own missional and spiritual negligence, and called again to participate in what God is up to around us. In the summer, we began our latest attempt at a regular house church meeting. We learned some valuable lessons in our earlier endeavors, and this meeting continues as of this writing. In the intimate setting of a living room, we have learned to sing without a leader, pray together, celebrate where God is at work, share burdens, rub one another s edges, and most importantly, exalt Christ and experience his presence together. Thankfully, we continue with strong, intensive discipling relationships. I have said it many times before, and will continue to, but our Life Transformation Groups are the backbone of everything we do. Finally, our year ended with the highlight of the DCPI training on the district in March. This was a fruitful time for me as church planter to recharge, reset, and begin to dream again about what God might do in Granite City. I am in the midst of following through with plans I made that week, and am excited about what God has in store. Jesus is King! Respectfully submitted, Timothy Young Jr. 142

148 Harrisburg Oasis Community Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of the Illinois District: It is with a deep sense of gratitude this pastor s report is presented on behalf of Harrisburg Oasis Community Church of the Nazarene. Please allow me to say that after a lifetime in the ministry, it seems that the Lord s blessings during this past year have been exceedingly abundantly above all that we have ever thought, asked or witnessed. Some of his benefits regarding the building of the Kingdom of God would include: The abiding faithfulness of the Holy Spirit in every service; The altars have not been barren; The multiple testimonies of those experiencing Saving, Sanctifying, and Sustaining Grace; 11 New Nazarenes; 83 Average Sunday attendance; 50 + Average Wednesday attendance; Free Sunday School Breakfast 9:00-9:30 AM; Remodeling of 10,000 sq. ft. worship facility completed; $146,240 raised for all purposes; All Budgets Paid In Full; Parking Lot Plan in place for enlargement/enhancement. To God be the glory, great things he has done. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man s conscience in the sight of God.

152 Jacksonville (CTM) It has been an exciting and challenging year getting to know the people of Jacksonville. The group that has formed there is small but doing well; we continue to meet people in the community...some who have visited the group..others have joined with us. Our meetings are very informal, very real and very much saturated in Scripture. We share the Bread of Life over Coffee and Sandwiches, but The Holy Spirit's presence is evident. Although we meet in a Restaurant, we are very much becoming a Church, not by man's definition..but by Scriptural definition. We have no building and no budget but we have Jesus, and His Spirit is uplifting and holding us as He shapes us into the Body of Christ in that place. In addition to the continued formation of our Organic Church, we have formed the j4j (Jacksonville for Jesus) Task Force, which is made up of Pastors and laymen from existing Nazarene Churches in the Jacksonville area. Some wonderful ideas are being shared and prayed about, the result of which will be the establishment of a Nazarene Compassionate Ministry in Jacksonville. All area Nazarenes are welcome to participate and get involved in what is looking to be a wonderful and exciting adventure for and with our Lord. We look forward to all that Our Savior will accomplish in this City that He so obviously longs to reach. With Gratitude to Him and to You, Rev. Rita (and Gary) Briggs 150

156 Laclede To update what has been going on in the Church of the Nazarene at Laclede, IL, : It has been a difficult year, but God is good. We lost a couple of people from our congregation through the death of one of our members. On the upside, though, we gained 3 new people this past year. We started a prayer meeting on Monday nights that has helped the church spiritually. My son started teaching a new adult Sunday School class and the people seem to be enjoying it. My wife has been working with the children's Sunday School class trying to get them more enthused. We are a small church, so there is not much to tell. That is pretty much all that has been going on.

158 Lincoln First A few years ago we used to jokingly refer to Lincoln First as, The Church on the Move. That unofficial motto was a jab at the number of people in our congregation that had moved around town over the course of a couple of years.

With 4 households moving away in the last year, I d love to shoot the tires from under the moving truck. None of these folks have gone away mad, and that s good. And even though I might deny it if you ask me publicly, I m glad that they are stretching out in new directions, embracing new situations and in at least a small way taking a part of us with them. I m glad for them. Not so much for the rest of us. The numbers tell a troublesome tale. Worship and Sunday School attendance are down for the year. Our membership has been lowered by losses of another kind as we have said goodbye to some we dearly love who have made their last and best move. Others have decided that they needed a different church setting in which to grow and still others have quietly drifted away altogether to be members in name only. This is the reality that we are living in and it makes us worry about the future. Will we make it? Will there be enough money to pay the bills and the budgets and the preacher? Will there be enough people to teach and serve and lead? To fight these fears I ve offered my church these three humble advices: 1) Lighten up. The numbers don t lie, but they don t tell the whole truth either. Some really good things happened this year. We conducted a successful VBS, we left the comfort of come to us here and went out to the Logan County Fair to offer cold water in Jesus name. We invited weary parents to entrust their children to us while they shopped or rested from shopping last Christmas. We organized our first 24-hour prayer vigil in the fall. We saw the Lord supply what we needed to purchase the materials to construct a wheelchair ramp and install new front doors. He also provided for us to pay all the bills, meet our ministry obligations to the district, the general church, ONU, and even had enough left over to bless area ministries like local Christian radio and our pregnancy resources center with end-of-the-year gifts. God did what God always does. He made little into much. I believe He will keep it up in days to come. 2) Tighten up. When I say tighten up I m promoting two goals. The first is for every member of our church family to be more intentional about their relationships with others in the church. There is a memorable scene from the original Toy Story movie in which Sheriff Woody reminds his fellow toys that their family would be moving soon and that each toy needs to partner up with a moving buddy so that no toy is left behind. That s the ticket. I see hints of that kind of loving care that sweet Christ-like love, now and again when someone goes to someone s bedside or drops off a meal or gets together for no reason except just to be together. That s what we need, just more and more and more of it. We also need to tighten up our purpose. A big hairy goal for the board this year is to pray, seek and implement a plan to minister to our community in a way that no other church is doing. We need to tighten our focus and throw our energy into what makes us distinct. Notice I did not say superior. We are only a part of the puzzle when it comes to the kingdom of God in Lincoln, but we are a piece and I believe an important one. 3) Heighten up. Specifically, we need to go vertical together on our knees. We need to pray. We need to be people of prayer. We need to be constant in prayer and moved to fervent prayer. If we are going to survive it will be because we are moved to seek God like never before. Instead of throwing up our hands in frustration, we will, in our weakness, seek the power of God to make us strong and healthy in Him. As Paul wrote: We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves, but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope 2 Corinthians 1:

160 Mahomet Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Pastors and Delegates of this Assembly: We are honored to present the annual report on behalf of the congregation in Mahomet. In , we identified goals and have experienced growth in the following areas: Increase in opportunities for intercessory prayer Expanded from one to three prayer groups Increase in number of small groups Expanded from six to nine small groups Increase in participation in Sunday School/discipleship groups Average participation has increased significantly Progress toward debt reduction Mortgage balance has been reduced $8, since January 2012 We have admittedly struggled with a lack of faith for finances and fostering an atmosphere for growth; however, we celebrate a fresh anointing of God in areas of discipleship, evangelism, worship, giving, fellowship, and service in recent months. Following the Prayer Encounter in Springfield last August, the leadership team recognized intercessory prayer as the pathway to discovering a revitalized purpose for our existence in the community. For eight months, we waited before God in prayer as He began to bring forth unity in the Body by stretching our faith. We are now experiencing a supernatural moving of the Holy Spirit among us and anticipate the unexpected from God every day. We have a renewed passion to know more about and be more like Jesus, experience more of God the Father through a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit as we learn to live one day at a time walking with Him. We embrace Dr. Bresee s challenge: We must have new Pentecosts: manifestations which will shake the place where we are and shake the hearts of men...

162 Mansfield Community Again this year, our Community Easter Egg Hunt was a success. Over 5,600 plastic eggs were filled with candy and prizes to claim, then spread out over the Village park to awaiting children. We provided printed reusable grocery bags for each child participating. They were printed with the name of our church and with our purpose, Our Church Can Be Your Home. We also printed tracks about the meaning of Easter that were in every bag we gave out. I appreciate our church board s focus and commitment to ministry, especially Compassionate Ministries. Thirty-two boxes filled with all the necessities for a bountiful Christmas dinner were distributed to needy families the week before Christmas and even more food was distributed this year through our food pantry. We appreciate our ministry partners at the Mansfield United Methodist Church. This year we combine our efforts for Vacation Bible School for the sixth time. Last year was a fun theme, Veggie Tales: Pirates Who Don t Do Anything, in an outreach to the community with a total of 82 children attending. Bible lessons and great music brought the children in to learn about Jesus gifts to them. The theme this year for VBS will be Kingdom Rock. We are still saving our VBS materials and making them available to other churches on loan. Any church can check our website for a listing and they can also send us information on the materials they have to loan other churches. That page is listed on for all that choose to participate. New ideas are always welcome for innovative ways to reach the community for Jesus. The board has a new project, Friday Night Movies in Mansfield. We have permission to set up screen, sound, and projector downtown by the Gazebo to show family films. Veggie Tales for the kids will likely start the evening, then other rich movies such as Facing The Giants, Flywheel, Fireproof, Courageous, and the Jesus Film, just to name a few. Our vision again this year is to Engage the Word. More time with God, reading His Word, praying for His Holy Spirit to fill and guide our lives individually and as a church family. There is hope for our community. Jesus is the Hope and the Mansfield Community Church of the Nazarene can be the pipeline to spread God s love. I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. This is our message to the community from a praying church that cares.

164 Marion First Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Rev, Haynes, Fellow Pastors, Members and Friends of this Assembly, Marion First has reason to celebrate at this time. Over the past year we have witnessed new life in Christ as there have been conversions and baptisms. Our children s department has had much to do with that as they continue to work with the new families associated with our church because of Vacation Bible School. Wednesday evening Prayer Meeting as well as our Tuesday morning Ladies Prayer Group are also an integral part of what is going on here. These seasons of prayer are serving to help us all endeavor to be people of continual prayer. We have witnessed the miraculous as God moves because his people pray. There is also a movement among our young people that we have not seen in some time. There is a spirit of genuine cooperation and commitment to being Disciples of Christ. Together they are reaching in and reaching out that they may be effective for the kingdom. We have also made some adjustments to our Sunday School as some classes are meeting at alternative times other than Sunday morning. That move has resulted in a noticeable increase in the number of young adults that are being ministered to. Our Monday Evening Spiritual Support Group continues to serve the broken in our community helping them to find a way to put life back together when they are dealing with addictive behaviors, substance abuse, or recent incarceration. We gained some and lost some. We received less money, but gave more away. We did more on less, but it is only because God has enabled us to do so. We are looking expectantly to the days ahead to continue to be a blessing to the kingdom, our community, and to the Illinois District. Respectfully Submitted, Pastor Bobby Parker 162

166 Marshall This is my first annual report as the pastor of the Church of the Nazarene in Marshall, IL. My wife and I have only been at Marshall for 9 months, but we consider it nothing short of a privilege to be where we are. We have found God to be so faithful in our first months of ministry; the people here in Marshall have been nothing but gracious and accommodating. It is a joy to be their pastor. While I can only speak out of my brief experience here in Marshall, I can say that the Holy Spirit is moving here in the Church. There is a new energy and excitement that is difficult to ignore. In the past few months, we have seen new families and children begin attending and participating in the life of the Church. On Sunday nights this January, I taught a four part membership class for those who were interested in what it meant to be a disciple of Christ and more specifically a Nazarene. Of those who attended the classes, we had the privilege of accepting 5 new members. We accepted another 2 members by transfer, from a sister Church of the Nazarene in England. Additionally, we have been blessed by two series of revival services. We had one revival in November, with Rev. Doug Haynes; and a second revival in April, with Dr. Mark Quanstrom. The refreshing presence of the Holy Spirit was real and sweet during both of those times of revival. As God leads us into another year of Kingdom building work in Marshall, I have nothing but hope and assurance that God will not rest until the work that he has begun is finished. While this is my first annual report as the pastor of the Marshall Church of the Nazarene, I pray that, God willing, it will be but the first of many to come.

168 MATTOON EAST SIDE Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Rev. Haynes, members and friends of this 70 th District Assembly of the Illinois District: This is my 25 th pastoral report to the District, my 19 th as pastor of Mattoon East Side. This year has certainly been different from any other in my ministry. We began the year with a return visit by the Utter family for a Faith-Promise Rally. The contact with this great missionary family served as a catalyst to encourage our involvement with backpack radio station ministry. What a blessing to know we are being used as instruments to getting the Gospel out to areas that might never hear the Good News otherwise. This contact also encouraged our continued support for the World Evangelism Fund. More negatively, a bad fall in late August resulted in the pastor s badly crushed right wrist. Having a wife who was willing and able to be a chauffeur, an associate pastor, as well as anything else dictated by these circumstances, made this unfortunate situation far more bearable. After my continued refusal to accept it for more than two years, a concerned Church Board insisted in February of this year that I take a three-month sabbatical. I didn t realize how physically and emotionally drained I had become, but I soon began to see my need for physical and spiritual renewal. For the educational aspect of this hiatus, I chose to examine worship ideas being used in churches we visited in our community with the hope we could use some of them in our own worship. This proved to be encouraging, interesting and potentially fruitful. We don t know fully what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future. Respectfully submitted, John W. Connett 166

170 Mattoon Real Life Community Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, fellow pastors and delegates to the Illinois District Assembly: It is a pleasure to submit my second report as pastor of Mattoon Real Life Community Church of the Nazarene. This year has been a year of continued transition at Real Life Community Church of the Nazarene. Last fall we held a prayer revival in our local church which led to a weekly prayer meeting and also the decision to rededicate the church to the will and work of God. On November 18, 2012, the rededication service was held, what a truly joyful occasion. New people have found their way to RLCC over the past few months, and while many have been merely one time visitors, a few have stayed and we are enjoying the additions to our congregation. While we have seen some familiar faces depart, we know that they have gone in the grace of the Lord and continue to serve Him faithfully in the areas where they have now been planted. We have also mourned in the passing of several saints and longtime members of our congregation, but celebrate their eternal presence before the throne of God. January brought the launch of Sunday evening activities at RLCC in the form of study times intersecting faith, scripture, and daily life. So far studies by Jim Cymbala and Max Lucado have helped us to learn about the importance of prayer, the power of hope in Jesus Christ, and the truly amazing grace that God extends to us. We are looking forward to what God will continue to teach us as we focus upon his will for us. Mattoon is in need of a harvest, with only 30% of its residents actually attending church. There is no lack of opportunity to share Christ, and we are actively pursuing the vision of being an ASK church. This is a church that Asks for God s direction, Seeks opportunities to share Him with others, and Knocks on the doors that God places before us. It is our hope and prayer that God will continue to use RLCC in magnificent ways during the years ahead. Respectfully submitted, Michael A. Flowers, Pastor 168

172 Monticello Hello, members and friends of the great Illinois District: This is my 3 rd report to the district as pastor of the fine church at Monticello. We have encountered God in a new and fresh way this year. We have seen 8 people come to faith in Christ, and have done the 31 day new believers online discipleship devotionals. We continue to thank and trust God for all His Goodness to us. We look forward to an even greater year this year. Here are some highlights: A great revival with the Burkhalters. A paying down on our mortgage principle. Seeing a young man come back to faith from a life of drugs and sin. Witnessing an on the spot healing. Hosted the Community Good Friday Service. God is so good. We ve starting praying about beginning a new church in our area. The CSC Conference was a great help to me and the idea is starting to spill over into our community. Praise be to God!

180 MT. VERNON FAITH Dear Illinois District Comrades ~ this is my 20 th Annual Report for Mt. Vernon Faith. The call unto HOLINESS is not up for debate. Christ either has all of us or He has no part of us. Many people want a Savior who forgives sins and cleans up messes, but they don t want a LORD whom they are willing to serve with total allegiance. Attendance growth is no substitute for allegiance. Total allegiance to Christ and His Word is our basis for incredible wins even though attendance figures may not reveal it. The Church as a People: five baptized, four joined by profession of faith, people pursuing holiness, one healed of cancer who was given 2 months to live 17 months ago, community involvement, and we host the annual J.C. Challenge day of Christian music, an outdoor event attracting nearly 1,000 people to our front lawn each August. Our Daughter Heather is bearing fruit unto holiness among many people. Heather has Epilepsy and God is being glorified through her music, message, and merciful radiance. The Church as a Place: a basement that doesn t flood and eaves that don t allow birds to build apartment complexes in our attic anymore. What a tremendous relief! We pledge our allegiance to Jesus Christ. He is our Savior and our LORD. All Glory To God, Rev. Ed Sprinkle 178

182 Murphysboro First This past church year the Murphysboro First Church of the Nazarene grew closer and stronger as we experienced a few pruning adjustments along the way. Murphysboro First is indeed blessed with the strong presence of God a body of believers primarily focused on continuing to seek and follow God s will and when prompted by the Holy Spirit, moving out of comfort zones and into taking steps of faith for the advancement of His kingdom! Revival spiritual renewal happens anytime we are open to and respond to His promptings. Our evangelist Rev. Doug Haynes inspired and challenged us May 6-9, 2012 as he led us in our Spring Revival. And then September 29 through October 3, 2012 tenured evangelist Rev. Larry (& Tamla) Leckrone was here to help us to dig deeper in our holiness walk. And then for our Spring Revival, in April (13-16) this time, we had our Amen evangelist Rev. Doug Haynes back with us! Rev. Bob & Jennifer Wilkerson are scheduled to be with us September 22-25, I am once again able to joyfully report that thanks to prayer and sacrificial giving ALL budgets are once again PAID IN FULL. There is always a ripple effect of God s blessings of deeper growth and higher spirituality throughout a congregation who make the decision to take God up on His challenge as recorded in Malachi 3. That was how it was this past year at Murphysboro First a year of God moving and more of His people responding and trusting Him. Praise the Lord! His for souls Pastor Jim Frye 180

184 Greetings in the Name of Jesus! Nebo God has once again been more than faithful here at Nebo. God has blessed us with souls being saved. It has been my privilege to lead teenagers into a new relationship with Jesus Christ, and it has been my privilege to lead adults into a new relationship with Jesus Christ. God has blessed the Church with a group of young adults who have lead into starting a youth group that meets on Sunday nights. This has proven to be a great outreach. There have been several highlights in the Church this year: New souls for Christ 100% increase in Sunday Evening attendance with a 38 average attendance Old time Prayer Meeting on Wednesday nights bringing forth fruit Record Total Raised in the life of the Church New Sanctuary Choir singing every Sunday morning All Budgets paid in full 9 years running Expanded Parking and several other improvements to the buildings while remaining debt free Church Board has taken steps to be able to move towards supporting a pastor fulltime, by increasing weekly pay, and now paying all expenses on the parsonage. With each step of faith God has given the increase. The Church is as healthy financially as it has ever been, even with the increased outflow. A very much needed and Spirit led Revival with Rev. Johnny and Linda Blair, great refueling, and great encouragement A great and attractive Spirit in the Church, many people have made the comment how wonderful and sweet the services are to be a part of A highlight for myself being able to conduct the very first Revival at the Harrisburg Oasis Church, which was newly organized at our last assembly. God broke thru in a special way with a young man giving his heart to the Lord, in only his second time in a Church building! God has been more than faithful; He is in control, as we endeavor to stay 100% in His will at every point of the journey. I could not accomplish much without my faithful and beautiful wife Lori beside me, handling many issues and ministries as they arise, all the while being Mom to our four great PK s. We serve with some of the greatest people to be found anywhere. Respectfully Submitted, Darin Workman 182

We have attempted many things in an effort to increase attendance. Our people reach out to the community by providing food, gas and financial assistance when we can. We celebrate the grace of God to Oakwood in all that He does in and for us. The presence of God is in our services. One person received Jesus and was baptized within a few months but has not joined the Church yet. The day care is a ministry for the Oakwood community. The attendance is up and the finances in the black. The day care receives excellent reports from parents and State officials. Alicia Hance is a wonderful director for the daycare.

188 Ogden Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, and Members of the Illinois District This is my eleventh report as the pastor of the Ogden Church and I am happy to report that again we have seen God s Spirit move among His people in our church. Reflecting back on my tenth year of ministry to the Ogden church I see signs that we might be turning back from last year s decline. Giving is up even after take into account the giving for the work and witness trip. Attendance has been approving and we occasionally see a new face or two. An accurate measure of success for a community of faith is not found in numbers but in the evidence and exhibition of God s power within that church family. We have seen that power work within our church community this year when we celebrated the lives of 2 beloved members of our community who went home to be with the Lord. We have watched on numerous occasions as God healed when doctors doubted. We have seen God s Spirit move people to faith, hope, and peace when the world today is filled with doubt, discouragement, and fear! Our membership remains at an all-time high and we end the church year with our upcoming work and witness trip fully funded and a larger cash reserve in the bank that we started the year with. It s Most importantly I believe that, in our struggles, many of us have grown closer to Christ. I believe collectively and individually we can claim that we leave this church year closer to God and that is the true measure of success for disciples of Christ! I am humbled by the love of God the Ogden Church has poured out on their parsonage family. I am blessed and honored to be their pastor. Respectfully Submitted Rev. J. D. Garlock 186

190 Olivet It is my honor as an ordained elder, to present to this 70th Illinois District Assembly, my 20th report for the Olivet Church of the Nazarene. Olivet Church celebrated our 100th Centennial Year of proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the community and surrounding area of Georgetown. Dr. David Felter, Holiness Today Editor at our Global Center, was our guest speaker, along with Dr. Brian Allen, from ONU, providing uplifting music for the day. Pastor James Walker, member of Olivet Church, provided a beautiful connecting link between the old Olivet College (which started in Olivet) and the Olivet Church of the Nazarene which started in 1912 on the campus of old Olivet College. Pastor James Blue presented two Holiness Heritage Centennial plaques to two members of the congregation: Betty Steelman, oldest living member; and to Don Smith, longest attending member. Pastor Blue was presented with the Holiness Heritage Centennial plaque from the Global Center of the Church of the Nazarene and also a Centennial plaques from Olivet Nazarene University. Former pastors Keith Kelly, William Burton, and William Renner also attended the centennial anniversary, speaking in the afternoon service. Olivet has once again PAID ALL BUDGETS-IN-FULL using the new Global Center formula. This is the 20th year we have accomplished FULL PAYMENT OF ALL BUDGETS. We overpaid the World Evangelism fund by 35%. The $45,000 remodeling loan we secured in February of 2011 is nearly paid off through faithful pledges and cash gifts received. The church took a major step of faith in November by hiring a part-time youth minister, Stephen Rippee. Stephen was involved with Table Rock Camp/Fun In The Sun. He has Sunday night and Wednesday night activities for our youth. Several community youth are now attending. A recent Super Bowl party was attended by 25 youth. The youth Sunday School class has shown growth under Stephen's leadership. We continually see new families visiting our church and many have connected on a regular basis. Two Odle families, the Metheney family, Betty Duprey, Heather Pierson, Connie Ingram, the Martin family, the Carter family are all regular attendees now. As pastor, this is an exciting part of the ministry. It has been a thrill to have 4 join the church of Profession of Faith. The church board is a strong working team with a vision for growth and a desire to continue seeing God's rich blessings upon our church. Our Women's Ministry once again prepared nearly 50 shoe boxes for the Samaritan Christmas Shoe Box Program. These were sent to needy children around the world. Even though Olivet Church is located in a small unincorporated village with just over 100 residents, we are proclaiming the messages of SALVATION by GOD'S GRACE and the EMPOWERING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT through His sanctifying power. I have no plans of slowing down or retiring during some of the most exciting and thrilling days of fulfilling my call to the ministry. GLORY!!!! Respectfully Submitted, James P. Blue 188

194 Pana First Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus our Lord. This past year we endeavored to focus on the essentials of ministry. **Teaching the Word of the Lord and baptizing new believers. **Introducing people to a relationship with Jesus. **Strengthening people s relationships with each other. **Helping people understand that holiness of heart and life is possible. **Leading the Church to practice the Fruit of the Spirit daily. Thanks to Associate Pastors Barbara Sheets and Lila Chaplin. Barbara s preaching, teaching and overall support has been great. Both of these ladies have served without pay and yet poured themselves into this church. Lila has taken her ministry outside the church and into the prison systems. Ministering in several of the local prisons, she has been blessed by seeing several inmates accept Christ as their Savior this year. Attendance at the services has ranged from 50 to 120. God is using her greatly to reach a segment of the population many would like to forget. Yet these are souls for the Lord! Five people joined the church this year. Our men s ministries group grew and journeyed to Promise Keepers in Cedar Falls, Iowa. They meet monthly for breakfast and prayer together. Each Wednesday evening they meet for Bible Study. It is our goal to introduce several new ideas this coming year. We want to start a Celebrate Recovery group and are praying for a leader. We want to strengthen our Discipleship Training and lay groundwork for growth both numerically and financially. Pana needs the Lord and we need the people. Submitted, Walter Sheets, DMin. 192

196 Paris First Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, and members of the Illinois assembly: Paris 1 st has had a blessed year, with all glory due to God. Our worship average is up +21. Sunday School is +13. We were privileged recently to baptize ten people. Some of these were teenagers or pre-teens that came out of our new D.O.T. (Diggers of Truth) group, started up on Wednesday nights, based primarily upon Bible quiz materials. We were expecting three to eight youth, but God gave us approximately twenty-three. We also received eleven new members this year, eight adults and three youth. October 28, we had a Fall Rally Day. Our people worked hard and prayed. We had the largest crowd for many years 195. We had to get out the folding chairs! We had 134 Christmas Sunday. Our Vacation Bible School was one of the best for a long time. We remodeled some space at the back of the sanctuary into handicap accessible restrooms. All we had otherwise were two small restrooms in the basement. These new restrooms precipitated a new nursery, which is now complete. We are trying to upgrade our old building, and have plans for a new fellowship hall after the parsonage is paid off in two or three years. Our people believe in and practice prayer. It often shows in the wonderful worship times we have had. Shiela and I feel very blessed and grateful to be serving God at Paris 1 st church. In His Wonderful Name, Gary A. Williamson Pastor 194

198 Pittsfield With the threshold before us stepping into a new fiscal church calendar, it is a moment of new beginnings. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." We are seeking to hear what God is saying! Although we celebrate and remember great triumphs of the past, we forge forward. Absolutely we can thank God, giving Him all the glory for 75 years of holiness influence in Pittsfield, multiple souls won for the Kingdom, a dozen baptisms in the past year, budgets gladly overpaid, new members, ministries effecting multiple levels of our community, yet we cannot live in the past. It s over, with much thanksgiving. Another chapter has been written. We understand, however, God is much more interested about our living for Him today and stepping into tomorrow, than living in the past. The crucial question is "What is God saying for us today as we are given the invitation to engage in each tomorrow?" The response is, "We will fulfill with God's help the mission before us, making Christ-like disciples of the nations." What does that look like as we see the mission fulfilled? 1. We will seek to plant new Churches (at least one within the next year). 2. We will seek to be biblically engaged with our culture. 3. We will seek to bathe everything we do and are with passionate and persistent prayer. 4. We will seek to consider the particular needs of our community/county with acts of compassion. 5. We will be a people with a mission in word, giving and deed. It is with great delight and with a heart full of love that we continue the journey in Christ, with Christ to fulfill His promises for this Age. Thanks be to God! Jon Kroeze 196

200 Quincy Emmanuel What a privilege and joy to be a part of the family of God and know His saving and sanctifying power. It is also a privilege for me to report for the second time for Quincy Emmanuel. Some incredible things have transpired enabling us to better serve our community. There is a renewed sense of anticipation and excitement about what God is going to do in the coming months. The past year and a half effort has been made to lay a solid foundation for future growth and discipleship. We have not arrived but we are on the journey. This past year two wonderful revivals have been conducted that strengthened the church family and brought new converts into the fellowship. Much emphasis has been placed on Sunday school and recruiting new teachers and workers. We strongly believe the old adage that the Sunday school is the right arm of the church. While many local churches are giving up on Sunday school, we are making a concerted effort to renew a passion for reaching the unsaved by inviting them to Bible classes and drawing them into the fellowship. God s blessing has been quite evident in the finances of the church. Significant physical plant projects on the property were badly needed. Estimates of costs for these improvements was $100,000. Of course, the church did not have these kinds of funds and voted to borrow a large portion of the amount needed. As each project was completed, cash was available for payment and the church did not borrow any funds. Praise God! We do believe the imminent return of Jesus is close at hand. This evokes a greater passion than ever to reach as many people as possible with the good news of the gospel. Respectfully submitted, N. Wayne LaForce 198

202 Rantoul Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of this Assembly: We arrived in Rantoul in September We have served here together with many of the best laymen on the district for 34 years and 10 months. What an exciting journey! The community is unabashedly grateful for our presence and influence. We have been workers together with them to make our town a great place to worship and live. We partner with numerous community outreach and ministry programs. This last year may well be said to have been one of our best in many ways. We have laymen who are serving faithfully in so many areas of ministries. We have seen souls and marriages saved through the prayers and ministry of God s people. As assembly closed last year a family tragedy pulled us away from the church. We rushed to Birmingham, AL to assist our daughter and her severely burned husband. The church took up the ministry responsibilities for over two full weeks. They visited, called in the hospitals and nursing homes planned and carried out the worship services... they were wonderful and all the while encouraging us to remain with our family until they were stabilized. They rendered financial assistance as well. I am so pleased to pastor a church of disciples who are able to carry out the mission of the church in the absence of their pastor. God bless them! We have baptized, served communion, preached the word, conducted a fabulous VBS that accelerated our Sunday School growth, taught the principles of discipleship, and observed real spiritual growth in our congregation. We are grateful for how far the Lord has brought us since last year. Our goals include 1.) an increase in new Nazarenes 2.) an increase in giving and report all obligations supported in full 3.) an increase in our discipleship to train more workers for the harvest 4.) an increase in our Sunday School and small group ministries. We are grateful for Olivet Nazarene University which has provided us with ministry options and events that created high points through year and strengthened our church. I remain saved by His grace, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and endeavoring to be a faithful servant of God. I am grateful to my wife, Kathy, for her model of Christian piety and strong support in our ministry endeavors. Respectfully submitted, Mike Curtis 200

204 Roxana Ministry is always an adventure and this past year has been no different. There are some significant highlights that I want to note in this report. 1. The church generously provided their pastor with a sabbatical leave in order to go to Malawi to teach in the Nazarene Theological College of Central Africa. I was there for four weeks teaching two different classes. For fun, we arranged to Skype in on Sundays so that the congregation could share in the adventure. 2. We hired Thad Haynes to be our new worship and children s pastor. The Haynes family arrived in September. 3. We were blessed by the ministry of Tim Hancock for zone revival and Chuck Sunberg for our Faith Promise Convention. 4. I participated in two bike blessings, both on bitter cold days. 5. We began a new prayer meeting and continued our discipleship groups. In the coming year we anticipate four major thrusts. 1. We will continue and expand our emphasis in prayer. 2. We will continue and expand our efforts in making disciples using insights gained from Hal and Debbi Perkins. 3. We will give needed attention to the physical plant and create a plan to remodel the sanctuary while eliminating debt. 4. We will work with the new zone mission strategy team to determine how best to begin starting churches on the zone. Along with these thrusts in ministry, the ministry of our church continues to impact our church and community. We are seeing new life, young families, new children, new babies, new families, and new energy in worship. We continue to impact our community through the motorcycle ministry, the ministry of our theater, and our partnership with the school district. It is our desire, passion, and intent to connect people to Jesus. In order to do that, we must connect people to us and be sure to point them to Christ. It is our hope, desire and passion to break new ground in reaching others with the love of Christ. In His Service, Pastor Larry Lacher 202

206 ROYALTON Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, and delegates to the assembly, This is my nineteenth pastor s report for the Royalton Church of the Nazarene. The church was a year of blessings and sadness for us. The sadness occurred from the loss of two young people from unexpected death. With God s help the families and the church is moving forward and His comfort has been reassuring. I was privileged to travel to Cali, Colombia September 2012 for a discipleship conference involving The Master s Plan. It was a life changing experience. I have realized more than ever the power of prayer. When we re willing to take extra steps in spending time in prayer, the power of God is released and lives become transformed. We re still in the infant stages of realizing this as a church but God is moving. My prayer is, we will allow God to lead us into a strong discipleship ministry. God has blessed us in so many ways. The most fulfilling way is how lives are being changed, transformed, and renewed. I can t wait to see what God has for us in the future. My desire is for God s anointing upon the church. I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered ~ Isaiah 56:8. Respectfully Submitted David Sorensen 204

208 Salem Grace I bring you my first report from Salem Grace Nazarene. It is an absolute blast leading a great group of people who love Jesus and love this community. This last year has been a great year for our church and we are excited to see what God is doing in this part of the state. I have a church full of people that understand why we exist and are fully committed to our mission that God has called us to. Our mission at Salem Grace is simple: Reach, Grow, and Serve. It s what we do. I am extremely privileged to be able to pastor a great group of people who are sold out to Jesus and this mission He has given us. We don t get caught up in tradition or style; we get caught up in making an impact in people s lives. I have great a staff that are truly servants of Christ Jesus. They wash feet! They lead with servants hearts. I love working with them and feel like I have the dream team. People are getting saved. Marriages are being put back together. Holiness is taking root in our homes. It s a great time to be a part of His Church! Michael Kraemer 206

210 The Hope House A Parent Affiliated Congregation of Salem Grace Church of the Nazarene The Hope House is home to Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-centered twelve step program for those seeking healing and freedom from hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Salem s Grace Church of the Nazarene began preparing to launch recovery ministries in The first Step Study Groups began meeting in the summer of that year. In the midst of these preparations, generous donors offered vacant church building nearby for the use of these ministries. Others provided labor to restore and remodel the facility, which was named The Hope House. After the training of the initial leaders, and their completion of the program, the first Large Group Meeting took place on April 4, Every Thursday night is a celebration there. Small groups also meet regularly, and The Hope House has quickly become the go-to place for those seeking recovery in the Salem/Centralia area. Grace Church of the Nazarene has provided financial support, pastoral leadership, and hundreds of hours of work by volunteers to make this ministry happen. Pray with us for those who take their first courageous steps on The Road to Recovery which begins at The Hope House. Mark Copley 208

212 Shelbyville Dr. Spruce, Dr. Warrick, members and friends of the assembly: Things are well in Shelbyville. The Lord has been good to us this past year. We have been faithful in trying to make disciples in our part of the world. We are enjoying some new programs to help us reaching our community for Jesus. We started an Upwards basketball league and it was a huge success. It was wonderful to see so many people getting stretched in their service as the volunteered to be a part of this outreach program. Seeing the gym filled every Saturday for 8 weeks in a row with people who know we are teaching Jesus along with basketball was very gratifying. We have seen God work in many ways and He continues to show up regularly at our services. He is always invited by the prayer groups that meet prior to church to lift Him up and pray for their pastor and each other. God is helping us to pay down our debt far ahead of schedule as the church continues to be faithful in giving. We have a new bus to help with our ministry (the seniors in action are very appreciative). We have had numerous missionaries again this year and had another great Work & Witness trip to Guatemala. I have every reason to be optimistic about the coming year. We have a great church and an even greater God who are working together to accomplish His will. Pastor Greg 210

214 Sherman Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, members and friends of the Assembly, It is my privilege to serve with the people of the Sherman church and to give my fifth report as a part of this congregation. As is the case in any congregation we have had our share of celebrating the hand of God moving in and through us as well as the times when we have just had to trust God s heart and His Sovereignty. We are gaining a better understanding of what it means to be a people who make disciples who also make disciples. But more importantly, the past few months I am seeing more people putting this understanding into practice. In spite of a lower average attendance this year we have seen God s hand at work in several different ways. We participated in the Engage the Word emphasis individually and in small groups. It was great to see the power of the Word in the lives of those who participated. We also saw great progress in the lives of many believers with a Discipleship Encounter. This was made possible by Rev. Lloyd and Kim Brock and the staff of Pekin First Church of the Nazarene. Other highlights from the year include sending three different young people on extended mission trips, having several who participated in the District Prayer Encounter, distributing food to those in need both in our church and in the community and recognizing two individuals with their first Local Minister s License. It was my personal privilege to go with a group of pastors to Cali, Columbia and to see what God is doing there as well as attending the Prayer Encounter at Crossroads Tabernacle in Fort Worth, TX. But most importantly we have seen God changing lives. Like Greg and Tracy Lewis. Their girls first came into contact with our church through the foster care of Jason and Jodi. When Greg and Tracy got their girls back they decided to try the church their girls had been attending. They enjoyed their visit and began to come on a regular basis. During the Engage the Word emphasis they were invited to Doug and Tonya s house for their small group where they still attend. Though they still face many struggles Tracy recently testified to God s grace. She said she noticed a difference after a particularly difficult time realizing that just a couple of years ago the same kind of situation would have caused her to go on a drug binge and now she is depending on God. Recently Tracy brought a friend to the small group and to church. As she is being discipled she is beginning to disciple others. I praise the Lord that He is at work around us preparing the way ahead of us whether we can see what He is doing or not. As we focus on our responsibility of making disciples He will take care of His responsibility of building the Church. Respectfully Submitted, Will Haworth 212

216 Sparta Greetings Brothers and Sisters, I am pleased to announce the Sparta Church of the Nazarene is alive and doing well. We lost six members for various reasons, but we are still serving God to the best of our ability. We who remain are dedicated to the Lord and are worshiping him 100%. We have several people who we are encouraging to come to the Lord, so pray for us in this manner. We are paying our bills and making every effort to pay our budgets. When you lose members it puts a strain on our budgets, but God has helped us all along the way. We re keeping up with VBS and always expect a good turnout. Pray that we are able to hold a revival and also do a better job of witnessing. Respectfully Submitted, Dwayne Keith Anderson (Pastor) 214

218 Springfield First Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of the Assembly, This is my 31st pastor s report for the Church of the Nazarene and my ninth report for Springfield First Church of the Nazarene. This year, as a church, we have continued to strive to fulfill our rather simple mission and purpose as a church. We want to: Love God, Love Others within the community of believers, and Serve our World. We have continue our emphasis on prayer and have realized nothing of eternal value is ever produced if it isn t grown in the fertile soil of the fervent prayers of His people. We have diligently worked at repairing the altars of His church. We have seen people, week after week, kneeling at the altars and seeking God with all of their hearts. We have seen people commit their lives to Christ, be sanctified, be set free, and find healing at the altars of our church as we have cried out to our God. We have reached out and served our world in a variety of ways. We have people who have provided a monthly meal at a homeless shelter and the Ronald McDonald House in our community. We have people who have volunteered weekly at a local public elementary school, where 93% of the students live below the poverty line. We have developed a partnership with Hope School - a school that minister to special need students and has a residential program for those children. We have started a Sunday School class for Hope students, they join us in worship, and we participate in their job training program, as well as sponsoring a 5K for the benefit of Hope School. We are striving to connect with our neighborhood with our Neighborhood Connection festival, where we provide free food, great music and games for kids, and the 5K for Hope School, and collect non-perishable food items for Contact Ministries. We have strived to strengthen the Body of Christ by participating in an eight-week commitment of Bible reading, prayer, worship and service to others - as we became engaged in the Word; by authentic worship; by our small group ministry; by restarting women s ministry and continuing an effective men s ministry. We are praising our Lord for transformed lives, the power of prayer, and for giving us a glimpse of what He wants to do through us, as a church, as we strain toward what is ahead, [and] press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called [us] heavenward in Christ Jesus.

220 Springfield Trinity It was a very challenging year for our church. Our giving was down, and weather and sickness were a problem. January was especially rough as was the first eight months. We had, however, a great resurgence in the last three months. This brought our attendance up for the year and about seven new people have expressed interest in joining our church. We had two great revivals and also help support an independent Holiness Camp. We have already implemented a plan to see our budgets paid and hope to even possibly help start a new work. I love God, my family, and my church greatly and anticipate great things for the coming year. Ronald Waltrip 218

222 Taylorville First Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, Members and Friends of the Illinois District Assembly, It is with a heightened sense of the great need of God s presence in my life, my family s life and the life of my church that I bring to you my second report as pastor of your church in Taylorville. This has been a year of frustration on some levels and great joy on others. You can see from the numbers reflected in my report that this has not been a banner statistical year for the Taylorville Church of the Nazarene. In spite of the numerical and financial decline that we experienced this year, we have still seen God working to unfold His plan in Taylorville. Last year we hosted our first annual Spiritfest and ministered to over 500 people during the Saturday and Sunday event. That weekend we also had a Sunday Morning attendance of 204. I believe that weekend opened our eyes to what God can do in and through us if we work together as God followers. We will be presenting Spirtfest2 the first weekend in June and are anticipating God working through us once again. We also completely renovated an old basement into a wonderful space for our children to worship. Once again we worked together. Painters painted, artists transformed the walls into an attractive Kidz Zone, and new carpet was laid throughout the basement. It is now a space that we are all proud of. There are many lessons being learned by this pastor and I am praying that I can effectively teach them to my congregation. I have made the mistake for many years of seeking God s gift to build His kingdom. There is nothing wrong with doing ministry God s way. However, the Holy Spirit has been teaching me that very best way to bring God s Kingdom to where I am is to seek Him. I have purposed myself to seek the presence of God rather than His gifts. I still desire gifts that will minister to others, the difference is that I now realize that His presence is paramount to everything in my life. I seek Him from the morning hours to the time that I rest for the day. During my local Annual Report, I declared this church year the Year of Exaltation. We will be seeking to build the Kingdom of God here in Taylorville, and we need God to enable us to do that. However, it is the consuming desire of my heart that we seek our Lord s presence for who He is and not what He can do. We are praying, praising and proclaiming the glory of our God.

224 Tuscola Hello and blessings, to all our brothers and sisters in Christ from Tuscola Church of the Nazarene. What an awesome God we serve. Another year has gone by and it seems like it went so very fast. The last year has been filled with some highs and lows. We have had to say goodbye to loved ones that have passed. We have also rejoiced though that God's spirit is moving amongst his people. We have seen new members come into the fold and lives are being transformed by the working power of the Holy Spirit, praise God. As we seek to minister to our community, we have seen the Spirit of God move before us to prepare the way. The outreach ministries that we have implemented have went over better than we ever anticipated. We are very happy to report that God has blessed us in so many areas even in the areas of financial needs. We recently installed brand-new central heating and air conditioning in the church. We are also very pleased that we again have been able to meet our financial obligation to the district with our budgets paid 100%. We are looking forward to seeing all of you at District assembly again this year We are looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones in Christ. When we look ahead to the year to come we do so with enthusiasm and excitement for where our God shall lead us. We know that the year ahead will also be filled with ups and downs, but we praise God for He is in control. From Tuscola we will pray that you will stay faithful and true, and that God will richly bless each and every one of you. In His service Pastor Joe Carter 222

226 Urbana Lighthouse Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, colleagues and friends of the district assembly, It is a true testimony to be able to report on the blessings received from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through the ministry at Urbana Lighthouse. This past year has been a year of tempering the steel. For the first time in the short history of our new start organization we as a body had to face tragedy and loss. On May 16, 2012 we lost one of our nursery boys through the events of a tragic shooting mishap. One month later we suffered the unexpected loss of my brother in law on Father s Day to a severe asthma attack. As we came together as one body united in Christ the church became stronger and would reveal the love of Christ not only to each other but to others around them. Just after the funeral of my brother in law, my wife Karen faced potentially life threatening surgery. The church rallied together in prayer and support. God revealed to us He was with us, and her surgery had successes in many ways. The people showed an outpouring of love to us as our family was well provided for during her recovery. The witness of the Spirit spread through our community and soon we would be hosting a summer program for neighborhood teens. As we partnered with another organization called Lead4Life, we set out on a mission to make leaders of those others had disposed of. Our mission was called Forty Days of Change. We had full support from the local city authority, the police and fire agencies, and God was working in this ministry. My partner and leader of the ministry Javae Wright, started with just three students. We prayed vigilantly, and the Lord provided. The mission grew and we closed the forty days with over thirty teen leaders. (enrollment capacity was to be 22) These newly developed leaders were challenged to show the public and the city officials their new found abilities, and did so with a successful appreciation gathering for all city and state officials drawing over two hundred people. God is blessing us through it all. Our Upward ministry continues to thrive and in the face of adversity, God revealed it is to continue as He provided all necessary means and measures enabling us to reach over two hundred fifty people. The annual Community Christmas Dinner was once again provided for and we were able to feed over two hundred thirty people, as well as the local women s shelter this past Christmas. Our adult Bible studies have flourished as discipling has become a love of the people. With the help of a neighboring church we baptized six more people to start the New Year. Prayer encounters are a regularity at Urbana Lighthouse, and we embrace them. Lives are being changed in Urbana, and people are learning the walk with Christ is a life-long commitment. Recently we were blessed with the presence of the Olivet group All Things New. God moved through the music and the people as we gave witness to a young man s lifelong struggles being laid at the foot of the cross. The day brought us a record attendance as well of 113. Our mission field is ripe for the harvest, the workers are grooming, and God is moving through it all. We are blessed. Respectfully submitted, Pastor Wayne Clevenger 224

230 Virden Dr. Warrick, Dr. Spruce, members and friends of the Illinois District Assembly, It is a privilege to share my second report for the wonderful people of Virden. Having spent this past year praying intently for God s direction for our church, we are confident that God s purpose for Virden Church of the Nazarene is to continue reaching out to the lost in our community. As I write this report we are preparing to begin Revival with Dr. Bob and Jennifer Wilkerson in May. We also have a VBS scheduled for the first week in June. We are praying that through these events the Lord will help us reach some who need Jesus, and we are believing God will do great things! I look forward to seeing what God is going to do in this new year. I want to thank those from the Sherman Church, especially Gary Howell, and Pastor Don Harrison and the Carlinville Church for their prayers and help with painting, cleaning, etc. in the church basement and for their puppet team for the VBS.

232 WEST UNION Greetings to all of our brothers and sisters in Christ: As the newly appointed Pastor of the West Union Church, it is my pleasure to make the following report to the leaders and members of the Illinois District. Pastor Penny Brown recently retired as our church pastor and I was subsequently appointed to serve in that capacity. Pastor Penny s thirteen years of service was a blessing to our church and, although we miss her, we pray that God will continue to show her favor in her life and in her ministry. Challenges often follow a change in pastoral leadership, and without doubt we have endured them by the grace of our Lord. There have been two transfers of membership, four members added with some decline in worship and Sunday school attendance. In spite of these changes, our financial gifts have increased from prior years. In cooperation with our community Baptist, Christian, and Methodist Churches, the West Union Church of the Nazarene hosted a Good Friday Service that completely filled our sanctuary. It was an incredible experience to have the four community churches coming together to praise our Redeemer and to remember His sacrifice for our salvation. More remarkably, to invest in future capacity, the church was able to finance an addition to our Fellowship Hall that included a new storage room and two additional classrooms praise God for his continued providential blessings. With the assistance of our faithful members, we have incorporated a series of studies in Christian apologetics that has been well attended. I was excited about presenting this material and all who participated expressed favor with the results. We have reinstituted our Sunday evening service where we are currently progressing through Paul s Epistles to the Romans. We continue to have Wednesday evening Bible study where we have just completed 1 John and are now working through the Book of Job. As the current Pastor (in-training), I will be commencing my ordination studies this Fall with Northwestern Nazarene University. Let us express our love to our Lord for all that He does and provides in our lives. In His Service, John P. Cody 230
