1. Instructions for Students in the Course of Study Eligibility The District Ministerial Studies Board serves only persons who are properly enrolled by their pastor. Enrollment is open to licensed ministers (local and district), deacons and local lay ministers who qualify according to the current Manual of the Church of the Nazarene. Courses There are three categories of ministry overseen by the Ministerial Studies Board: ordained elder, ordained deacon, and certified lay minister. Elders and deacons will not be ordained without having completed their respective courses. Modes of Study The recommended mode of preparation for full-time Christian service is by attending a Nazarene liberal arts college or university and, if possible, Nazarene Theological Seminary. Other modes include Nazarene Bible College, Joplin District School of Ministry, Nazarene Bible College online, Nazarene Bible College Modular Plus Program, Northwest Nazarene University online, and the modular courses from Clergy Development. The Joplin District School of Ministry is an alliance for ministry development, working with the Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, Co., and with the Clergy Development Department of the Church of the Nazarene. All courses, academic requirements, and official administrative regulations are in the Sourcebook on Ordination (Manual, 426.4). 47

General Regulations 1. Each candidate is to secure a copy of the Handbook for Christian Ministries and Sourcebook on Ordination from the Clergy Development Office at The Global Ministry Center. These documents may be downloaded from www.nazarenepastor.org/clergyeducation/. They will help candidates to become familiar with the details of the entire program. 2. All candidates, including new enrollees, are required to appear for an interview as called upon by the District Ministerial Studies Board at the time and place specified. Failure to meet with, or contact, the Ministerial Studies Board may result in the student’s name being dropped from the roll. Modular Courses For students desiring to take courses not offered in a given year by the Joplin District School of Ministry a set of modular courses has been developed by the Office of Clergy Services at the Nazarene Global Ministry Center in Lenexa, KS.. The modular courses will be offered on this district only as a supplement to the course offerings of the Joplin District School of Ministry. For more information on modular courses contact the District Ministerial Studies Board secretary or chairman, or the Office of Clergy Services in Lenexa, KS. Continuing Education Units Realizing that education does not end following ministry preparation (Sourcebook on Ordination, 440), a continuing education coordinator has been appointed. The coordinator’s function is to provide opportunities for continued educational growth for all of our ministers on the Joplin District. College and Seminary Students College and seminary students are responsible to submit annually to the secretary of the Ministerial Studies Board documentary evidence of academic progress and standing. This information should be sent to the secretary no later than April 15th of each year. College and seminary students are reminded to plan their curriculum in harmony with the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene. The final transcript at graduation will be evaluated by the District Ministerial Studies Board: no requirements stated in the Manual will be waived. Where to Go 1. For information and/or guidance, go first to a Board member near you. If the question cannot be answered, please call either the secretary or chairman of the Ministerial Studies Board. 2. For relevant applications forms (for district assembly recognition and renewal of license) contact the District Secretary, Chris Carver, P.O. Box 575, Carthage, MO 64836 (417-358-9624). 3. For information about the Joplin District School of Ministry contact Tim Young, Director of Joplin School of Ministry, P.O. Box 506, Lebanon, MO 65536 (417-588-9911) E-mail: [email protected] Director of Joplin “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, NASB).

V. Reports A. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT May 30, 2014

Year of engagement Engage: transferring raw energy and resources into real action and focused (intentional) activity. Dr. Graves and Joplin District ministry team it is with great joy and much gratitude that I bring this my first partial report to you as the District Superintendent of the great Joplin District. The scripture that comes to mind is I Corinthians 3 where Paul discusses God’s building. It reminds me of this assignment. Others have watered and planted and cared for this district and God has given increase. Because this is a partial report or foundational report since we have had little more than 8 months working together, I sense an obligation today to spend most of my time on two themes. First, I want to celebrate the contributions made by others to get us to where we are today. Second, I want to dream with you about what God has for the future of our great district. Wow, how is it possible to list all the contributions? It really isn’t, so at the risk of missing some I want to make an effort to celebrate those who have brought us to where we are today. Of course I must begin by thanking God for all the wonderful resources He has put in our hands. He has been the one that has and will give all the increase. He is all any of us have and He is enough. Thank God for His power and resources. Thanks to my wife who has moved three times in the past three and a half years and for the grace with which you adjust to God’s leadings in our lives. I am blessed to share this journey with you. Thanks for the great office staff God has given. Thanks to Chris Carver who is a great gift to the district as he serves so many roles. Now he has become my assistant in the areas of administration, Church planting resource person as well as the District Secretary. Daily I am reminded of the great resource God has given us in Chris. Thanks for serving with integrity and passion, Chris. Sheila Pollard scared the life out of me when she gave a notice to leave the office. After 14 years of faithful service to the district I didn’t know how we would ever find a replacement for her. The truth is there was no way to replace her years of experience and wisdom and the grace with which she served. God has however provided great new support in the very capable Faithe Haeck. Thanks, Faithe, for coming in and quickly learning and engaging every aspect of the district office responsibilities with grace and excellence. Thank you Samuel Cordova for volunteering to help the Hispanic work on the district as we continue the good work of Moises Marques and the many Hispanic pastors and laymen who worked with him to establish a great Hispanic ministry on the district. 55

Thanks to the District Advisory Board for their great work this year as we tackled some difficult issues and celebrated great victories together. Your quality advice and support has this district positioned for a great future. Thank you. A special word of gratitude for our department heads; Rhonda Rhoades represents the NMI with dignity and class making her a special gift to the district. She serves with such excellence that she has been elected to serve on our Denominations NMI General counsel. Rhonda thanks for sharing your heart and life with the District. Fred Toomey has and continues to serve as our NYI president with distinction. He also serves as our regional director of NYI. Fred, thanks for the energy and passion with which you serve. Thanks to our MNU graduates for representing us so well. Please come forward if you have graduated from MNU this year. (Present gifts to MNU students) Ford Hall and his fine work with SDMI was again evidenced through a great convention this week. Ford, thanks for the humility and grace of your service. Thanks to my heroes the Local Church Pastor and spouse. It was a Pastor who never gave up on me, who first taught me that God could use anyone for ministry, even me. Pastors thank you for serving this year. A special thanks to two pastors who have won the highest award the Church gives to any local church. The General Superintendents Growth Award. This award is very difficult to achieve intentionally. It is only achieved by those who have had significant growth in professions of faith, significant involvement in the planting of churches and significant support and cooperation of the Church’s total mission. It is so difficult that only the exceptional pastors and churches can achieve it. I believe in our pastors on the Joplin District so much that I think every church on our district could win this award soon. You are the greatest. Could Nathan Haeck (representing Webb City) and Kevin McDonald and James Buttery (representing Springfield Scenic) come forward please? (Have Dr. Graves present the awards) You are making a difference, pastors. I know there are times when you think no one notices, no one appreciates your service and sacrifice and no one cares. Let me remind you today that you are not alone. God is aware of your circumstances. Pause and think about that for a minute………. He is aware of our circumstances, Praise God we are not alone, someone does care, and someone does notice your sacrifices, the most important one. Thank you, pastor, for your service. He knows your situation. I love you, I pray for you and believe God can use you to transform your territory. Thanks to the greatest army the enemy of our soul has ever encountered, the laity of the Joplin district. Laymen and lay women you are the real difference makers in our communities. I believe your service will make the Joplin district area the most difficult place on the planet for anyone to go to hell through. Thanks to the staff members and spouses on our district who have served in second fiddle positions in the church. I know that many of you care for and minister often to more people than senior pastors do. I believe God calls some men and women to full time staff ministry for life. You are valuable and we notice your service. Thanks! Thanks Dr. Graves and Sharon for your service to our district. Thanks for your prayers and support as we begin this new role God has given us. You have both been a great encouragement and Dr. Graves, thanks for taking and returning my calls for help. Finally thank you Dr. Jim and Susan Dillow for leaving a strong and solid district to serve on. You did a great job and I am humbled to walk in many of the same paths you have walked before me. Dr. Dillow, thank you for casting a God-sized vision for the district. You have planted the 56

seed, with the help of God, we have done our best to do a little watering. God is giving the increase. Your vision to plant 70 Churches in 10 years is happening. We now have 89 total active churches; 10 registered churches, and 10 active and moving toward registration. With the base of 69 churches, that makes 89 total active churches. Today we will be voting and the DAB has voted to grant you emeritus status on our district. Would you and Susan please come forward? (Present plaque and stationary to Jim and Flowers to Susan) Our theme for this assembly is “Engage,” as our district booklet so clearly states. Thank you to Faithe and Chris for putting this book together. While traveling (now 60,000 miles on the district car and counting) and observing the Great Joplin District for the past 10 months, I noticed many amazing things; The beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the rolling hills of the Ozarks and the golden fields of grain first grabbed my attention. The one thing and most obvious, beyond all the beauty is the potential that rests in the great people and pastors of our district. As I enumerated earlier, we have lots of resources. Our pastors are the best, our people are the greatest and our territory is the most beautiful. We have resources! I believe it is time to take the great resources God has given us and engage those resources towards the Great vision God has for us, “Making Christ-like Disciples” (Show video clip of Star Trek, “Engage.”) What the Captain just did in this clip was to transfer raw energy (resources) into real action. I want to encourage us as a district team to think about engaging all of our resources into real action and direct it at the mission of making Christ-like disciples in the nations. God has been speaking to me about engaging all the resources He has given and direct them on a lost and hurting world. Let’s pray: Father, give us the wisdom and the insight to be the catalyst that you use to take these amazing gifts you have given to us and direct them to the mission. You have given your Spirit through which you used with a rag tag group of fishermen with few resources, no technology, no good forms of transportation, little education (unschooled ordinary men) and changed the world in a few years. If we could engage the power of God, the contemporary resources you have given us and the great pastors and exceptional people on our district, I believe we could change our world as well. Help us to dream as big as you dream. Help us to recognize the potential you have placed in us and to engage it all to watch you do exceedingly immeasurably more than we can ask or think. Amen. I have been asking God through prayer and fasting this year, what do you dream for us? Let me share a few of the visions with you using the five mission strategies developed by a conference of Godly Pastors and leaders from USA and Canada in 2010. They decided it was time to start dreaming about what God could do if we began to engage the power of God with the resources He has given and directed all that energy to the mission of making Christlike disciples. Here are my dreams; 1. Intentional leadership development: I believe there are leaders in every church on our district. We simply need to begin looking for them to discover them. While pastoring in Albuquerque I had a great worship pastor who left after 10 years of ministry. It seemed hopeless that we could continue until a few weeks after his departure people began to come out of the wood work to do music. Within a few months we had three times the worship leaders and singers and players than ever before in the church. Thanks to Pastor 57

Mark Terrell for modeling leadership development by raising up leaders to serve across the district. Would you pause for a second and look under your seats for an envelope? If you find one, don’t open it just hold it up and let us see it. Could one of you blessed people come forward and read what it says and then open it? These gifts have been sitting under our noses all morning. We just didn’t look for them. I challenge every pastor to develop a culture of duplication in your local churches. Look for leaders to raise up. I believe they are all around us, they just haven’t been discovered yet. My prayer and vision is that every pastor will raise up at least one leader who God could use to multiply your ministry every year. 2. Vibrant Church renewal: I want to go on record saying I believe that every church on the Joplin District can be vibrant and capable of growing and multiplying. We have seen examples of it across the district. Joplin District has a history of this very thing with churches like Seymor (Pastor Mark Terrill,) Marshfield (Pastor Brian Letsinger,) Springfield First and Community now One Life Church (Pastor Brandin Melton,) Garnett (Pastor Phil Rhoades) and the list goes on. Why stop now? Why not begin a program to revitalize every church that is stuck? I believe God will help us to develop a renewal program for plateaued or declining churches until they are all growing. It was Jesus who said, “I will build My Church.” It is still His church. We are planning to select 5-6 churches this year to begin a revitalization program to bring life and vibrancy to those who might be discouraged and lost hope. As we develop the program I think we could revitalize 5 churches every year. 3. Clear and coherent Theological identity: We have the greatest message under Heaven. The power of God to make us victorious is greater than the power of the enemy to make us fail. It was the message that attracted me to the Church some 38 years ago. It will attract a world that has lost hope in a God with this kind of power. Has our God died? No, as many of us have seen lately, God is not dead. I think one of the reasons our pastors and churches are not bringing more people into church membership is because the enemy has convinced us that people don’t want to make full commitments any more. I believe that truly converted people have no problem making deep commitments and keeping them. Jesus said, “If you love me you will keep my commandments.” John said, “His commands are not burdensome.” What I see people doing for the things they love amaze me sometimes. Drug addicts, alcoholics, people with hobbies and sports interest. These people will sacrifice most everything to satisfy that love interest. We have a society of people who fully understand commitment; we have just allowed the world to win the argument. -Pastors, I challenge you to have “Know your church” classes and lead your new converts through a discipleship process until they are fully committed to Him and His Church. I challenge us to make that at least 500 next year. The highest number we have ever had in one year in our history was 461. Let’s blow that number away this next year. If this sounds like a high goal, don’t read the Bible. God doesn’t want one person to perish. 58

He is with us on this goal. Remember He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or imagine. Would you imagine with me? My prayer is that every church will have at least one profession of faith next year. If every church on the district had only 6 people join we would go way over the top. We will be helping all pastors this year with practical tools on how to see this happen. On page 12 of your booklet you will find the dates we have planned for this training. If you send your pastor and you pastors attend you will come back with tools that will help you in this effort. I pray that every pastor will be present at this event, “Pastors Practical Strategy Day”. 4. Passionate missional outreach: I believe every church could have an event at least one time a year where you could reach four times your regular weekly attendance. Do you remember when we had Sunday School promotions? I do, we would have the red team against the blue team or team 1 against team 2. The goal was to get new people into the life of the church twice a year. The rest of the year would be spent following up on and discipling those who we touched at those events. We don’t do those any more but the principle still works. We will be helping with practical tools to help you with these events at the Pastors Practical strategy day as well. Take a minute just now and jot down the one thing you could do in your community that would attract unsaved people to your fellowship. Let that be the catalyst that you use to begin planning an event. 5. New Church development: This strategy is working all across the world and here on the Joplin District as well. God has helped me to embrace the vision of my predecessor Dr. Dillow and the group of pastors who attended our denominations first DCPI event in Dallas, to double the amount of churches on the Joplin District. As I prayed God made it clear to me that we would need Him if we attempted to do this in five years. We are well on our way to that goal. Our district has now planted 20 new churches. I believe we could organize 10 each year. I believe every church should either plant or partner in a church plant every 3-5 years. It is happening! We now have 89 active churches. God is moving in ways we might have only dreamed He would before. I get calls almost weekly that a new church has been planted. Just two weeks ago I got a call from one of our pastors notifying me that a man in his church wants to sponsor two new Nazarene churches. He already has the locations picked out. He just needs leaders. He said, “We have the resources, God has given me a vision and I, with His help, am going to get it done.” I believe he will. God is certainly willing. (Start playing the song “Moving Forward.”) Please stand and join our praise team as they lead us in a great song of commitment and vision. Let’s not go back, let’s move ahead. Let’s surrender our lives anew. He makes all things new. Join me this year as we make this year a year of engagement, as we the Joplin District Ministry Team comes together with the leading of the Spirit and the resources we have been given to take our territory for God. Respectfully submitted. Mark J. Bane

4. Joplin School of Ministry 2014 DIRECTOR’S REPORT To grow is to change, and our district's school of ministry is no exception. The classic mode of training students in our individual churches has all but stopped. One shining exception is the Seymour Church, which for many years has used the general church’s “modular” model of ministerial instruction. Pastor Mark Terrill is to be commended for his hard work in this area, and men and women currently serving all over our district have benefited greatly. Many of our other students are taking classes from NBC online, which continues to be a strong option. We still suggest and encourage everyone feeling called of God into any type of full-time Christian service, to prayerfully consider traditional on-campus education. There is simply no substitute for a classroom full of fellow students, interacting with their instructor and with each other. Our universities, bible colleges, and seminaries are a God-given gift to our church. We hope this year to once again offer classes regularly at our District Ministry Center. This will require some creative scheduling, and we ask for everyone's patience as we work to make that happen. Also, several personnel changes have taken place recently, and it will take a while to get everyone up to speed.

64

Two wonderful things we are already doing need to be highlighted. First, the number and quality of our Hispanic students grows stronger every year. This is a real tribute to our district, its leadership, and to Samuel Cordova in particular. Second, we continue to have a great number of women who are training for various fields of ministry. Unlike some other Evangelical groups, Nazarenes have supported women in ministry from the day we were founded. With God's grace and leading, we will continue to serve as a model in this area. Good days are ahead. Ken Chamberlain, Director

C. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES 1. Audit Committee

We find that the records of the district treasurer were audited by the audit committee composed of Ronda Freeland, C.P.A., Gary Cotterill and Steve Hefley. The district NMI records were audited by Brenda Egbert accountant, and NYI records were audited by Dawnata Hopkins, CPA. The district SDMI records were audited by Wright, Redden & Associates, LLC. The district’s Laymen’s Retreat records were audited by Millie White. Since these auditors have used generally accepted auditing standards, we feel the aforementioned books are in proper order. We commend the various treasurers for their excellent ministry to the Body of Christ and the Joplin District Church of the Nazarene. Respectfully submitted, Steve Hefley, secretary and Ronda Freeland

Gary Cotterill, Chairman

2. Christian Action We, your committee on Christian Action, realize that no list can be all-inclusive. We encourage and remind our people of our scriptural and historical call to holiness of heart and life. We recommend that the pastor of each local congregation provide training to instruct new Christians and prospective members, using the Bible and the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene, and 65

that they bring the Manual before the congregation at least once during each assembly year. Specifically, we suggest the use of Manual paragraphs 515.4 and 903.1-903.15, “Current Moral and Social Issues”* We strongly urge that this information be shared with the members of each the members of each congregation. We do hereby recommend that our people give expression to true Christian living by the following: 1. The use of good Christian literature. 2. We encourage our people to be devoted disciples by: personal and corporate prayer, worship, and Bible study. We encourage discipleship in the areas of faithful stewardship, regular church attendance, personal witnessing and, showing compassion. 3. We encourage our people become involved in the Godly justice in our city, state, country and the world. To seek justice for those who are enslaved by systems of our culture and who have been marginalized by culture. We encourage our people to serve in leadership positions in organizations that promote civic and social righteousness. 4. That as Christians we be spiritually discerning in our lifestyle regarding all forms of entertainment and communication including but not limited to social media. As Christian parents, it is in our best interest to educate and encourage our families to be aware of the dangers of media on our spiritual journey. 5. We encourage our people first and foremost act in love towards all people when taking a strong stand against alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, gambling and other current moral and social issues. We also encourage our people to become actively involved pursuing God directed action in meeting the needs of people who have been trapped and entangled in sin by the enemy of their soul. 6. We encourage our people first and foremost to act in love towards all people when taking a stand on the position of marriage. That we continue to support the Church of the Nazarene’s stance and position on the definition of marriage between male and female as stated in the Manual in paragraph 30.1. 7. We urge our people first and foremost to act in love towards all people when we support the stand the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene takes concerning human sexuality in paragraph 32* and in reference to Romans 1:24-28. We also urge our people to actively oppose sexual perversions by: (1) Teaching the Biblical standards of human sexuality and family life, (2) We urge our people to support the stand taken in the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene* concerning abortion. We urge our pastors who counsel those considering abortion to prayerfully consider the more positive alternative of adoption services, as suggested in the Manual paragraph 31*. Our pastors should give full attention to any local Crisis Pregnancy Center for needed assistance. We commend the entire general board for lifting up Christ and for its stand against the evils of the day and recommend that all pastors and laymen do likewise. *2013-2017 Manual. Respectfully submitted, Tim Young, Secretary

3. Education Nazarenes have always believed that people called from sin are called for service. Because we are better able to serve when we have had training, Nazarenes have believed in and have given sacrificial 66

support to Christian Education. This has included prayer, financial support and encouraging the attendance of our educational institutions. The schools that the Joplin District churches support directly are: MidAmerica Nazarene University, Nazarene Theological Seminary, Nazarene Bible College and Joplin District School of Ministry. We, your committee on Education, recommend to the churches on the Joplin District: 1. That the Educational Budget for MidAmerica Nazarene University be paid in full. 2. That Annual Offerings for the Nazarene Theological Seminary and the Nazarene Bible College should be promoted and taken as scheduled. If the date is not convenient, then an alternative date should be chosen and the funds remitted. 3. That Public Relation groups, or other representatives of the University, should be invited to local churches in order to acquaint our youth to the advantages and privileges of attending MidAmerica Nazarene University. We urge that all teens should be encouraged to investigate MNU as they make their college and university choices. Those called to ministry need to be instructed to take advantage of the training provided by MidAmerica Nazarene University, the Nazarene Theological Seminary, and the Nazarene Bible College or the Joplin District School of Ministry. 4. That churches should take advantage of helping their students through the matching scholarships. Regardless of the contribution level to educational allocation goals, a church can contribute as much as it chooses toward a scholarship for each of its students attending MidAmerica, and MidAmerica will match these funds one to one, up to $500. 5. That students should be directed to check with the financial aid office concerning other financial aid available to them. 6. That our people contribute to our educational institutions through the matching gift programs which many employers offer. 7. That churches take their youth to the sport, cultural, religious, and other special events on the campus of MidAmerica Nazarene University in order to get a sense of the incredible opportunity afforded them. 8. That Joplin District Nazarenes consider including the educational institutions in their wills and trusts and to consider participation in scholarship endowments while still living. 9. That our churches keep in close contact with our Nazarene students enrolled in schools outside our denomination. We commend the splendid leadership of those who guide our institutions of higher education: Dr. David Spittal, president of MidAmerica Nazarene University, Dr. Carla Sunberg, president of Nazarene Theological Seminary, Dr. Harold Graves, president of Nazarene Bible College, and Rev. Tim Young, Director of the Joplin District School of Ministry. We encourage our members to take advantage of the opportunities for spiritual enrichment and training for service available through the Christian Lay Training courses. We feel that each congregation should recognize that pastors need time off to pursue their continuing education. Therefore, we encourage them to provide the financial assistance and urge their pastors to get their required continuing education hours. We encourage local congregations to consider working with Kevin Borger, Assistant to the President for Church Relations, to promote a “MNU Day” on a specific Sunday in the year.

4. Finance Section I 2014 DISTRICT FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

Local Church Following a study of our needs, your District Finance Committee submits the following report. We recommend: 1. That pastoral compensation be given first claim on the local budget, and the church board review the pastor's and associate pastors' salaries at least once each year. 2. That the church reimburses the pastor and evangelists for the amount of social security cost and pay the pastor's group health insurance. Since not all churches are on the same policy and this amount may vary, we urge our churches to absorb as much of the deductible as possible. 3. That reimbursement of travel expense for the pastor and staff is in harmony with current IRS guidelines. 4. That each church pay the pastor's and spouse's, associate pastor's and spouse's and retired minister's and spouse's expenses to all district meetings. 5. That each church set aside a sufficient amount each week to help pay the pastor's and pastor's expenses to the General Assembly. 6. that each pastor be granted vacation as follows: up to five years of service would receive 2 weeks; 6 to 10 years of service would receive 3 weeks; 11 to 20 years of service would receive 4 weeks; 20 plus years of service would receive 5 weeks. Years of service shall be determined by denominational tenure and not local church tenure. Yearly vacation time begins with the anniversary date of your beginning year of service at the local church. Vacation time must be used in the year it is earned. There is no carry over from year to year. 7. That each church board considers supporting a sabbatical/study leave for their pastor during the seventh consecutive year of service in one congregation. (Manual 129.10) 8. That each church designates the 1st Sunday in August and January to take an offering for our Joplin District Mission Center - the Potter's House (Nazarene Student Center). we also encourage each church to schedule a representative from the Potter's House to come and share. 9.

VI. Department Conventions A. NMI CONVENTION AND REPORTS 1. 2013 NMI President’s Report District Superintendent Bane, Pastors, Delegates and friends, We gather together today in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ to celebrate all that He has done for us this year in NMI. It is with great joy that I stand before you and bring the year-end report of the Joplin District NMI. When I last stood before you I challenged you to a "Mission Possible" year. I rejoice in the marvelous things that I have discovered about the Joplin District NMI. Because you were not afraid to believe for the "possible", you have succeeded in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ at home and abroad. At the close of District Assembly last year we boxed up Crisis Care kits, food, bedding, and a group of more than 20 hard-working people and headed to Moore, Oklahoma to help in the clean-up efforts after a tornado devastated the city and surrounding areas. We not only took some Crisis Care kits with us, but we also collected enough to send to the warehouses for any future crisis. You generously gave $241 to help defray the cost of shipping the additional Crisis Care Kits, and you also donated $4,937.46 to the relief efforts. Thank you for being a generous district. I want to say a special thank you to Don Daniel and to Jade Rogers for their leadership and quick organization of this trip. Don Daniel also led our District Work and Witness team to the Sun Valley Indian School for a week of work and ministry among our Native American Brothers and Sisters. You can read more about this trip in the newsletter you received last night. Several of our churches took their own Work and Witness trip to various parts of the world, and used their skills and their availability to the Glory of God. You sent eight delegates to our General Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. The convention was filled with voting, workshops, worship and inspiration. Each delegate was required to write a report about the workshops they attended. These reports were then sent to the NMI Presidents across the district so that what we learned could be shared with you and help you in your local ministry. To my great surprise, I was elected to the Global NMI Council, and feel very privileged to serve under the leadership of our new Global NMI President, Philip Weatherill. Mr. Weatherill is a man of vision and passion for NMI and missions, and I believe great things are ahead for NMI. As I stated earlier, you took up the challenge of “Mission Possible” and the results are worth rejoicing over, so let’s take time to celebrate. Your love for the Lord which resulted in tremendous giving: Alabaster – $27,222.33 (Churches giving over $1000 = Pittsburg, Nevada, Marshfield, Mansfield, Independence, Banner. Over $2000 = Carthage) Child Sponsorship - $40,305.00 Compassionate Ministries - $41,182.45 Deputation - $17,075.50 74

Distinguished Service - $1200 Jesus Film - $11,204.62 LINKS - $3,261.15 Memorial Roll - $1,125 Missionary Health - $803.40 Missionary Christmas - $789.98 Mission Corp - $16,807.20 Work & Witness - $28,742.70 World Mission Broadcast - $487.07 Other Specials - $2,268.98 Partnerships - $13,368 VBS - $2,791.08 Field Specials - $21,646.78 The total given for all of these areas is $230,281.24! I congratulate you for your faithful giving. Well done, Joplin District. These totals alone are worth celebrating. Generous hearts working together under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and through the channel of the Church can always get the job done because together we are stronger that we are alone. This is testimony that the early leaders of the Church of the Nazarene were inspired by the Holy Spirit as they formed our plan for World Evangelism and how to fund it. However, let’s not stop here! There is more to celebrate and give praise to the LORD for. Our World Evangelism Fund goal for the 2013-2014 church year was $458,987. If we look at that huge number it can seem very daunting, especially if we were required to raise that amount alone, one church carrying the load. Again, we can be thankful that the vision of our early church fathers was so divinely inspired. Together we can always do more, and Joplin District, YOU DID ABUNDANTLY MORE! I am so proud to tell you that together we raised $462,862 for the World Evangelism Fund! Glory to God!!! Mission accomplished. We are a 100% district! As we glory is what the Lord has done this past year, let’s turn our focus on to the year ahead. We are all very aware that some are called to go and preach, teach, and work as missionaries, but let us not forget that ALL of us are called to pray, and All of us are called to give. Through our World Evangelism Fund, our missionaries are sent. Through our World Evangelism Fun, our missionaries are cared for, fed, clothed, given medical care and housing. Through our World Evangelism Fund the gospel is spread to 159 countries around the world. Through our World Evangelism Fund literature is printed so that children can learn, and Pastors can teach and preach. I do not apologize for the fact that Nazarene Churches around the world are asked to give 5.5% of our income to World Evangelism Fund because giving is our privilege. Giving back to God is a blessing because it means we have something to give. God is looking for a people whom He can bless because their hearts are circumcised by the cross of Christ and they are not afraid to trust Him with their money. I have said it before and I will say it again. We cannot out give our glorious, majestic, merciful and loving God. We cannot, but I dare us to try! Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel so that many will be saved and can be trained disciples of our Lord Jesus. The world is dying all around us. We must not remain silent. Our prayers must reach heaven's door with loud knocking until God is moved with compassion and opens the windows of heaven and breathes on us afresh with His Holy Spirit. 75

There is an old song that says these words, "I'm so tired of being stirred about the lost who need to hear. I'm so tired of being stirred that His coming is so near. I'm so tired of being stirred till I cry bitter tears. I'm so tired of being stirred, but not being changed."* O, Lord God, Almighty. Stir us up and shake us up with Your Holy Spirit. Open they eyes of our hearts so that we see the way that You see. Circumcise our hearts so that all of our "self" is poured out and fill us up with only You. Burden us for the lost - our neighbors, our friends, our family, the grocery boy, the waitress, the policeman and the postman - until we get on our knees and cry out for their salvation. Remind us that all we have is Yours, given to us to enjoy and use for Your glory. It is time that we the church remember that In Christ we are redeemed. In Christ we are set free from all sin. In Christ we are healed and made whole. In Christ we are made righteous before Almighty God. In Christ we are cleansed from all unrighteousness. In Christ we are no longer under the burden of condemnation, because in Christ we are complete. We dare not forget these truths, because in remembering, we are reminded that we are sinners saved by Grace, and in remembering how far He has brought us out of the pit of sin and how much He has changed us we will be determined to “spread” this good news near and far. Joplin district, it is time to “Spread the News” of our glorious salvation. It is time to “Spread the News” that Jesus Christ is the Hope of the world. It is time to “Spread the News” that Jesus Christ can and will forgive every sin and break every chain that binds us to our sin. It is time to “Spread the News” that Jesus is Coming again to reign victorious over all the earth and we must be ready when He comes so that we can reign with Him. “Spread the News”. Together we can and together we will. Respectfully submitted, Rhonda Rhoades *Lanny Wolfe, Stirred but not changed

2. NMI Convention Proceedings

Wednesday evening, May 28, 2014 Prelude music was provided by Brian Arner. At 7 PM, a drum intro signaled the beginning of the flag march. A choir, directed by Rhonda Rhoades, sang “Praise You!”. Mackie Toomey, one of our youth representatives on the District NMI council, read our scripture from Psalm 117. The congregation joined the praise team of Grace Wallace, Rhonda Rhoades and John Teel in singing several versions of Jesus Saves. Following some announcements from our District Superintendent, Mark Bane, our 100th Anniversary (NMI) Project was introduced in the form of a skit. Our chosen project is 76

for the Papua New Guinea hospital area. Currently there are 32 families that share a single latrine-style bathroom with no running water or sinks. These families are those that staff the hospital. We will raise $10,000 to provide a bathroom with running water, toilets and sinks that can accommodate 18 people at a time. We will hear more about this project during the convention tomorrow. Brian Arner again provided music for our offertory. Following the congregational songs Every Praise and I Sing Praises to Your Name, Eder Aguire led us in a beautiful prayer spoken in his native Spanish language. Rhonda told us that tonight following the service there would be a special time of celebration with ice cream for everyone. We are celebrating the fact that we have paid our World Evangelism Fund at 100%. Delilah Johnson introduced our speaker for NMI convention, Monte Cyr. After a musical special “Break Every Chain, sung by Grace Wallace, Reverend Cyr introduced us to his mission field – the Meso-America region. He is currently the Discipleship Ministries Coordinator for that region. He wrapped up his message with two main points: 1. Thank you for giving; because of our giving all these good things are happening on the MesoAmerica region. 2. Please don’t stop. After a concluding prayer, the congregation was encouraged to go celebrate and fellowship over a bowl of ice cream.

Thursday, May 29, 2014

Preceding the opening of our convention, our secretary, Trina Leaf, made several logistical announcements to the convention. President Rhonda Rhoades called to order the 57 th Joplin District NMI Convention. Organization aspects of the convention were approved. Greetings were received in video form from Dr. Daniel Ketchum and the Global NMI Council and from Dr. Scott Dooley and Gail, Allison, Emma and Olivia, Joplin District Missionaries. Rhonda made presentations to our visiting missionary, retired missionaries Helen Norcross, Lolis Rosbrugh, & Barbara Simmons, as well as Cheri Bane, our district ‘first lady’. All pastors were asked to come to the front to receive a gift of appreciation and then were prayed over by our District Superintendent, Mark Bane. Following prayer, Rev. Bane spoke words of greeting to the convention. Over 100 of our children attending Missionary Fun Day entered the convention and sang a song for us, after which they sat in a designated area and heard a special message from Rev. Cyr. Amy shared that our new children’s/youth project is to help fund a genderbased violence ministry in Isiolo, Kenya. Rhonda encouraged each church to find creative ways to involve their children and teens in support of this project, rather than just to send the money in for them. Rhonda expressed appreciation from all of us to Lindsay Letsinger and helpers who are working with the children today. She also drew our attention to the fact that we may be looking at some future missionaries and we need to remember to pray for our children.

At different times throughout today’s convention we will focus on specific prayer. We were instructed to gather in groups of four or five and raise our voices in passionate prayer for God’s protection, guidance and blessing on our children and youth. Dave Nash, our NPH representative shared some NPH resources with us. Marta Ward, NMI Treasurer, presented her annual treasurer’s report, which was accepted by the convention. The Finance Report and the Report on World Mission were adopted as printed in the delegate’s booklets. A Memorial Roll was presented to the pastor of the Mansfield church, Rev. Landon Letsinger on behalf of Rev. Paul Buchanan. Rev. Phil Rhoades gave personal tribute to Rev. Buchanan, a man who had a tremendous impact on his own life. The chair was yielded to Rev. Mark Bane, our district superintendent, who introduced Rhonda for the Special Order of the Day. Rhonda reported the ways our district indeed responded to the call to ‘Mission is Possible’ giving over $230,000 to special offerings. Our World Evangelism goal was over $458,000, but God made the seemingly impossible become Mission Accomplished; we raised over $462,000. It is now time to “Spread the News” that Jesus is coming and we must be ready. Rev. Bane led the convention in receiving this motivating report. Trina took the opportunity to present Rhonda with an appreciation gift on behalf of the district council and the convention. Our prayer groups reconvened to pray for missionaries around the world by regions: Eurasia, South America, Meso-America, Africa, Asia-Pacific and USA/Canada. Prayer led by Samuel Cordova. Comedic relief came to the convention in the form of ‘handy man, Brian Letsinger’ just before the convention was released for a 10-minute break. After the break, Rhonda reminded us that we will find our 100 th Anniversary project financial goals as a new line item in our goal sheet. Charlene Bergen came to speak about the various ways to be involved with Compassionate ministries locally. This year we are sending School Pal Paks out as a district delegation. Peggy Strange presented our new LINKS families to the delegation: 1. Kyle & Jayme. Kyle is the coordinator of the Western Mediterranean Field. Jayme serves as a faculty member for the European Nazarene Bible College. 2. Kevin and Joan, support missionaries. Kevin serves as finance manager in the regional office. Joan teaches an English class to ten ladies. 3. Barbara Messer, retired from service as a missionary in Africa. Each of us is also encouraged to think of the Potter’s House as a LINKS assignment. Robb Gossen spoke briefly about the ongoing ministry of the Potter’s House. We welcomed an MNU worship team who lead our convention in a time of worship, followed by a morning message to the delegation. The speaker asked us to continue to pray, give and go and hopes to see some of us on his region sometime. Award certificates for Mission Priority One and Award of Excellence were distributed to the presidents of the following churches: MPO – Aurora, Ava Highway, Baxter Springs, Bolivar First, Branson, Butler, Carthage First, Cherryvale First, Coffeyville First, Columbus, El Dorado Springs, Fort Scott, Galena Parkhill, Garnett, Goodhope, Goodman Banner, Independence First, Joplin Calvary, Lebanon, Marionville, Marshfield, McCune, Monett, Mount Vernon, Mountain Grove Faith Community, Neodesha, Nevada, Nixa, Osceola, Pleasanton, Powell Twin Springs, Sarcoxie, Seymour, Springfield Community, Springfield Scenic, Webb City, Wheatland 78

Our prayer time was led by Delilah Johnson, district vice-president. After prayer our convention was adjourned.

3. NMI Mission Committee We, your Committee on World Mission, refer our people to the NMI Convention section of the Joplin District Annual Assembly Journal. We recommend that every local NMI council review the goals for Mission Priority One as soon as possible in the assembly year, with emphasis on an early start to reach the global awareness missions books goal and make definite plans to attain Mission Priority One status. The goals are: 1. Prayer—The church will pray for missions. 2. Discipling—The church will provide opportunity for its children and youth to experience missions and to respond to God’s call. 3. Giving – The church will pay its World Evangelism Fund in full. 4. Educating—The church will use missions resources and participate in activities to gain better understanding of world-wide mission efforts. The church must participate in one or more activities in each of the following four areas: a. Use multimedia missions resources (such as World Mission DVD, missions Web sites, videos, Nazarene Communications News, etc.), and/or utilize missions publications and communications (Living Mission curriculum for adults, youth and children, International Mission Education Journal, Mission Connection, Engage Magazine, Global Glimpses, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries magazine, Holiness Today, missionaries’ newsletters, regional newsletters, etc.). b. Promote NMI missions books/tapes/CDs. Report the number of books read or listened to. c. Participate in missions service projects (such as Work and Witness, Youth in Mission, Youthserve, CAUSE, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries centers, Good Samaritan churches, community projects, etc.) and/or hands-on missions activities (Crisis Care Kits, School Pal-Paks, relief shipments, LINKS packages, unofficial LINKS, etc.). 79

d. Attend one or more services with a missions speaker (local, mission area, district, and/or regional events; faith promise) and/or provide interaction with a missions speaker (district teen/children’s camps, missions events, district NMI convention, missions workshops, etc.). We further emphasize the following: 1. That each NMI Mission Priority One church strive also to do the following: a. Receive the Award of Excellence by paying either 5.7% or $1,500 over their World Evangelism Fund goal; b. Pay in full its LINKS, Missionary Christmas Fund, Children’s/Teen Project, Work and Witness Project and the 100th Anniversary Project apportionments. c. Participate in the Missionary Health Care, World Mission Broadcast, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, and Alabaster offerings. d. Support one or more missionaries with a deputation offering. 2. That each church support the Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Fund, be a child sponsor, and strive to be a Good Samaritan church. 3. That each new church member receives a new member packet, which explains our mission program. 4. That each church especially remember our own district missionaries with a specific time designated to pray and fast on their behalf. 5. That each church support our LINKS and adopted missionaries through prayer, gifts, money, and cards, as we are the only district responsible for them. Our LINKS missionaries for 2014–2016 are: Kyle & Jayme, Kevin & Joan, and Barbara Messer. 6. That each church be aware of all NMI projects: a.

B. NYI CONVENTION AND REPORTS 1. President’s Report

Show video of Doug Fields thanking Youth workers Thank You to my family; Thank You to the exec council; Thank You to the full council; Thank You to our DS and Asst DS, and Pastors for their continued support;

I continue to love to tell the story about the Joplin District, lives changed, and the events that have defined us, like Camp, Encounter, Empower, Quizzing, Refresh, the PK’s. Just know, the USA/Canada Region knows about us and continues to ask when they can come. Let’s Run Opening: Hebrews 12: 1-2 Message Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God Hebrews 12: 1-2 (ESV) 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Anytime I hear the word run lately, my calves tense up, my back tightens, and my mind says “watch TV.” If you think about it there’s just something about the word run that doesn’t make us feel good. I even wondered if the title of my message tonight might create a mass exodus for the door. Recently, there has been a big move towards running for exercise. Because of back issues, I don’t get to exercise like I used to. I definitely have some limitations. I now have to ride a stationary bike, instead of running or jumping. When I started the biking my ankles were hurting before I even peddled my first rotation. After a couple of tenths of a mile I felt like the family had joined me on my back, and most days I wanted to quit before I started. I’ve persevered and the “joy” of biking is slowly coming to me. I’ve noticed less aches, more energy, and better times. But this scripture is speaking of a race we should run that’s not a 5K, or biking, but instead life. There are a few points I’d like to make concerning this scripture. “Let’s is made of five characters. L, E, T. ‘, and S L is the limitations we face. 82

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily Harass’s us form all sides. First, the responsibility is placed on each of us in this portion of the scripture. Let us lay aside. To lay something aside is to place it out of the way, to ignore it, to decide that it is not important. Second, weight and sin were intentionally separated in this text. We sometimes read them almost simultaneously. A weight is not necessarily a sin, but instead something that can easily lead to sin. A weight is anything that hinders our race. There are things we do as Christians that hinder our run even though these things in and of themselves are not wrong. For example, although khakis, a nice camouflaged coat, or a good pair of hunting boots are great, these things would be a hindrance to a runner. In our Christian life there are numerous and diverse weights. We all know those hindrances in our lives. Perhaps you are wearing the hindrance of an unhealthy friendship. We need people in our lives that build us up. We need those that sow seeds of encouragement, not discouragement. Maybe you are wearing a coat of idle entertainment. Sports, Reality shows on TV is great until we neglect our responsibilities. Maybe you have boots of an unhealthy habit on. Cell phones, facebook, twitter, and the entire virtual word are great until we become unattached with reality and it consumes of everyday life. Video – Gwen Smith - Uncluttered E is the engagement piece. And let us run with persistence. This Christian faith is a marathon, not a sprint. Just as the 5K runner we have to have a mindset to finish the Christian race. We know there will be obstacles along the path, but we must have a mindset of perseverance. The race is long and often difficult. We will stumble and sometimes even fall, but we must finish the race. Let us be able to say as Paul said in 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Let’s model what Paul says. We all need to get engaged in ministry. We need to be an encouragement to everyone. We are not the only ones in this race. There are people quitting the race all around us. We all must run the race well, despite the circumstances, and sometimes that mean we have to stop and pick our fellow brothers and sister up and help them. For some of us, that means we have to move. We can’t finish the race, if we have never started. We have to get up, move our legs, walk, walk briskly, run, in order to finish the race. Complacency, or siting at the starting line, watching the other runners go by, is not an option. I asked a friend of mine from Murrysville Alliance Church in Pennsylavania to send me a video they did on being “Engaged”. While it is made for their context, in all honesty, it’s not far off of out context in our own home towns. Video – Engage – Murrysville, Penn. T is the task at hand. The race that is set before us. The most important race any of us will ever participate in is the Heaven race. We can reflect on others before us and how they ran it. We can observe those fellow Christians among us and how they run their race. We can read how people in the Bible ran their race. We can gain confidence from all these people, but we must run our own race. 1 Corinthians 9:24 says “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” In a Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown laments to his friend Linus, “Life is too much for me. I’ve been confused from the day I was born. I think the trouble is, we’re thrown into life too fast. We’re not really prepared.” “What do you want” Linus asks, “a chance to warm up first?” In most instances we don’t get a chance to warm up, but we can practice. Video – Skit Guys – Running the Race So how do we ensure success in our Heaven race? The apostrophe in “Let’s” takes the place of the letter U (you). Do me a favor point to yourself and say you. We all need to get “you” out of the picture and replace it with Christ. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. See Jesus is the author and finisher of our race. He has written our course and has prepared the way for us to finish our race. Jesus is our ultimate example to observe. He emptied himself of all weights that would hinder his progress. In the final stages of His race, He faced death, Hell, and the grave. He finished His race and He won! Video - MeChurch

83

S is Christ’s success. He is victorious. He has taken His place in Heaven. And is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We have a source of strength that is tried and true. Christ’s success in life was no accident. His victory over sin was not a matter of luck. It was the race set before Him. God, the Father, came to Earth as God, the Son, with a race before Him. The race He ran and won changed mankind forever. There is not more I can say on this one, that the video doesn’t. Video – Thank You Jesus, clips form Passion of the Christ In closing, let’s look at some great patriarchs of the Bible. Each had flaws, but each was used by God to accomplish great things. The lives of these people represent some very long races, some difficult races. However, they fought the good fight. They finished the race. Through Christ they won their race. • Noah once got drunk, but he entered a covenant with God. We often see this promise written across the sky, a rainbow which signifies the Lord will never destroy the earth again by flood. Abraham was too old, but He became the Father of many nations. • Timothy thought he was too young, but faithfully served with Paul as a preacher of the Gospel. • Jacob was a liar, but became the Father of Israel • Joseph was a daydreamer, but he was put in charge of the whole land of Egypt. • Moses was a murderer, but was chosen to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. • Gideon was a “scaredy cat”, but led an army of three hundred men in defeating the Midianites. • Samson was a womanizer, but with great strength given to him by God he killed a thousand men with the jawbone of an animal • David was an adulterer and murderer, but he was the first King of the united Israel. • Elijah was suicidal, but he called down fire from heaven to show God's power. • Isaiah thought of himself as unworthy, but prophesied that a child would be born who would be called "Immanuel," which means "God with us." • Jonah ran away from God, but because of Jonah’s warning the people of Nineveh repented of their sins. • Peter denied Christ, but was with Christ on the mountain during the Transfiguration and at Gethsemane. God has a race for every person on this district to run. If you’re lost he’s waiting for you to join the race. It’s time for you to get engaged in the race. Let’s run! Maybe you are already in the race, but you’re carrying unnecessary weight. Lay that weight aside. Let’s run! Maybe you’ve been running the race without a true purpose. Ask God what’s the race He has for you. Let’s Run! Get the “you” out of the picture. Put Christ in and allow His power to work in you. Let’s run! If you ask my football or baseball players what I tell them before they run, they would say “Coach tells us to run as a Team, whoever is in the front looks back to see who is stuggling, and adjusts the speed. The ones in the back that are struggling yells to the fellow team mates and they adjust. We start as a team, we run as a team, we finish as a Team. When we do that, at the end of the night, “Good things will happen!” Lets’s be the ones, NYI, to lead the race, set the pace, and finish the course God has set out for us, as a Team. Let’s Run!! Respectfully submitted Your NYI President Fred Toomey

C. SDMI CONVENTION AND REPORTS

1. SDMI CHAIRMAN 2013-2014 The apostle Paul was a man of one passion – – to present Christ to lost and broken people. In the opening to the book of Romans, Paul stated his mission saying, I am "set apart for the gospel of God". (Romans 1:1 NIV) It was this calling and passion that cost Paul dearly during his ministry. Many saw his efforts 91

as foolish. Yet, Paul never allowed his circumstances or the opinions of others to discourage him. Instead, he preserved in his mission tirelessly and said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes". (Romans 1:16 NIV) What a price Paul paid! Yet all of us who know the joy of salvation and the fellowship of the Spirit are deeply indebted to Paul and his spiritual contemporaries for their sacrifices. Fortunately, that kind of passion and sacrifice continue in the lives of pastors and lay men and women all over our district. I'm happy to report today that God is still in the business of calling men and women of faith to the mission of spreading the wonderful gospel to others and in helping them to grow as disciples. Many have had their lives transformed because of this kind of service and dedication. Let me share with you some of the visible signs of this disciple making process. This year, ten churches showed outstanding numerical gains. They were Camdenton +53, Coldcreek +44, Bolivar +31, Pittsburg +30, Webb City +29, Carthage +29, Bradleyville +24, Parsons +23, Columbus +22, Butler +21. These numbers are vitally important, because each number represents a potential disciple. Also, as a district family, we have cultivated relationships with 12,514 people that are recorded on our responsibility lists. In addition, our average weekly SDMI attendance totaled 5,214. This means that we are teaching God’s Word to 5,214 souls in our Sunday School classes and small groups every week. Congratulations Joplin District SDMI workers! Several of our churches are receiving SDMI Awards: HONOR SCHOOLS (1% to 9% increase in both SDMI attendance and responsibility list): CHURCH

Congratulations to these award-winning churches. Thank you for leading the way in Sunday Schools and small groups on the Joplin District. APPRECIATION BANQUET & CONVENTION Our banquet and convention were held at the Fairview Christian Church in Carthage on May 28-29, 2013. During the banquet, awards were distributed for honor school, superior school, and exceptional school churches. In addition, awards were given to outstanding SDMI workers. Rev. Greg Mason, District Superintendent of Louisiana and Mississippi, shared an inspiring message. The following day, Rev. Mason presented three sessions for those attending the SDMI convention. These sessions both inspired, and encouraged those attending to continue their efforts in the making of disciples. AGE GROUP MINISTRIES This year our age group directors, Brian Letsinger (adult ministry), Thomas Casper (children’s ministry), and their ministry teams have done another outstanding job. In the adult ministry area, several events were sponsored. The year began in April, 2013 when several of our Single Adults traveled to Oklahoma City on a Work & Witness trip to help the Love Links Ministry. During the weekend, local universities sent several college student teams to help accomplish the work. Our singles help lead these teams. On Saturday evening, our group helped serve at a banquet to help raise finances for the ministry. Much hard work and loving care made the trip a wonderful success. Then, on April 6, 2013, KyAnne Weaver spoke for our Women’s retreat. Her theme was “Diary of a Cave Woman.” Susan Dillow coordinated the event with 260 women registered. The Goodman Banner worship team led the music. It was a great day of insight and encouragement for our ladies. Next, October 7-9, 2013, at the Savannah House in Branson, Missouri, our new D.S., Mark Bane, spoke to over 50 at the Prime Time Retreat. His messages were both convicting and uplifting. Josh and Lacey Griffith led the music. Later, October 16-19, several of our women left to attend the “Come To The Fire” meeting in Holland, Michigan. Donna Mikhail coordinated the trip. Everyone had a great time. In the following month, November 1-3, 2013, our Laymen’s Retreat was held at the Hilton Promenade in Branson, Missouri. Scott Moore preached several inspiring messages, and Jeremy Henderson led the music. The retreat was a great success with over 70 in attendance. Many thanks are due to all who have contributed to the success of all these events! On May 30, 2013, our children’s ministry began the year with an exciting Missionary Fun day. The chorus of over 120 children sang for the NMI convention. Then, Howie & Beverly shared with the kids exciting stories of their work. Lacey Griffith and Lindsey Letsinger led the children to different stations where they worked on crafts, played games, heard stories about different mission projects they could be involved in, watched puppets perform, and viewed the children’s version of the Jesus film. The following day, May 31, 2013, Ron Sluder and a host of sponsors led about 20 kids through an exciting District Kids Day Out. Everyone enjoyed all the games and fun, along with a pizza lunch at the Joplin Mall. In addition, Ron Sluder shared a devotional message. Next, on July 15-17, 2013, about 142 kids arrived at Camp CYOKAMO for Primary Camp. Then, on July 17-20, 177 kids spent the remainder of the week in 93

Junior Camp. Our camp directors, Melinda & James Souder, led the activities with amazing messages from pastor Noel George. Ninety sponsors helped to make the week a real success, and numerous kids made important spiritual decisions. In the fall, the district children’s quiz program began with great enthusiasm. Quizzers and their sponsors diligently studied and memorized scripture. Jessica Matney, our district quiz director, coordinated the various quizzes during the year in both Kansas and Missouri. The season concluded on March 14-15, 2014, with a final quiz for the entire district in Carthage. There were many new quizzers this year, with over 250 kids participating. Also, several new churches joined our quizzing ranks. On November, 8-9, 2013, our Children’s ministries hosted the second “Children’s Workers/Pastors Retreat” at the Independence Church. This event began with a great time of praise and worship on Friday night led by Jeremiah Wood and followed by a message from Jim Sukraw. Then, on Saturday, our talented district team conducted valuable training. In addition, the Nazarene Publishing House, represented by David Nash, donated several items that were given away. Over 45 registered for this important event. Finally, on February 22, 2014, at the Seymour church and on March 1, 2014, at the Coffeyville First church, Sarah Pridey and her team conducted two exciting “Kids Fest” events. Entries covered many areas of talent including baking, art, singing, and poetry. Sporting activities were also conducted. Many kids participated from all around the district. Many thanks are due to all who served the Lord by ministering love and grace to the hundreds of children on our district! SPECIAL THANKS I want to express my thanks to our District SDMI Board, our SDMI Zone Chairmen, our Secretary/Treasurer, Shirley Soliday, and Statistical Chairman, Gary Gunlock. These men and women have been willing, energetic, and full of faith. It has been a joy to work with them as we have endeavored to build the work of SDMI on the Joplin District together. Also, I want to thank our new District Superintendent, Mark Bane, for his willingness to serve our district. He has contributed valuable help and enthusiasm to me personally, and to the work of SDMI. His assistance, the assistance of Chris Carver, and Faithe Haeck has been a real encouragement! Respectfully submitted, Ford Hall

4. SDMI Committee We, your Committee on Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International (SDMI) recommend the following: 1. That the SDMI budget be set at the percent of the District Unified Budget as recommended by the District Finance Committee. 2. That every Sunday School work to reach the general church Honor School requirements: a. Increase five percent or more in average regular Sunday School attendance over the figure reported to the last district assembly; and b. Increase five percent or more in the active Sunday School responsibility list over the figure reported to the last district assembly; or c. A local church directly responsible for starting a new church, and the new church started, will receive the Honor School Award if all qualifications are met. 3. That all Sunday School departments on our district use literature from the Nazarene Publishing House for all ages in our Sunday School. 4. That all Sunday School leaders should remind their division superintendents and teachers of the Manual (par. 812, Article I, SDMI Membership, Responsibility List, Section 2, a, b, c, & d) provisions for enrolling and dropping names from the church school roll. No name can be dropped from the rolls except by the pastor’s approval. We believe that every church should approach this roll as a responsibility list, thus making it a more effective tool. 5. That every church promote all the district Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International events for this assembly year, including: Laymen’s Retreat, Prime Time Events, Singles Winter Spiritual Get-Away and other singles activities, Women’s Retreat, Children’s Bible Quizzing, Children’s Talent, and Children’s Camp. 6. That every church promote Cradle Roll, home department, bus ministry, home Bible studies, children’s ministries, women’s ministries, singles ministries, Prime Time events and programs, and other outreach ministries. 7. That we have the District SDMI Convention the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning of district assembly and convention week. 8. That every church add at least one new Sunday School class/small group and one additional teacher each year. 9. That $5,000 be set aside each year as a Global SDMI Convention Fund. 10. That we continue to take care of the expenses of the various district officers in connection with their duties as follows: district SDMI chairman—honorarium, $300; district superintendent—honorarium, $250; district SDMI secretary-treasurer—honorarium, $250; board—travel reimbursement as set by the District Finance Committee, plus meals; also, any other incidental expense related to duties.
