FRIDAY, April 24th 8:30 AM Breakfast in Sodexho To my fellow council members on the Northwest Regional NYI Council,

I’m very excited to bring you this report as the NW Region NYI President. Since our last meeting our Region has seen the election of four new district NYI presidents. This is the largest change in leadership in one year that I can remember, and I’ve been on the regional council since 2004. This is an important time of change and we need to help each other as many of us face new roles in leadership. It is important to remember why we do what we do in ministry on the regional level because our ministry affects teens and youth workers at every level, including the local church and district ministries. As we look to the future, we must look at important key elements that will help our ministry at the local, district and regional levels. Whether you were just elected or you have been on this council for a while, these are good things to remember. First, we need to be proactive and diligent in ministry. Our call to ministry is a divine appointment not to be mistaken with any man made desire or hobby. We have to be very professional in ministry as we manage and negotiate the goals and tasks of our ministries. The balancing act of administration and relational ministry can be difficult. Be proactive and step up to your call to ministry and leadership. Credibility and integrity are very important as you work as a pastor. Find and meet with an accountability partner that you can be honest with. Spend time in prayer and make time for your family a priority. Second, we need to establish relationships and build bridges with people without an agenda, Christian and non-Christian alike. Now more than ever we need to be able to invest time and energy in people without the idea of gaining their loyalty or to our district and regional titles. Teens especially, can spot someone trying to befriend them with ulterior motives. Finally, in the first year of your role as district NYI president there are some key decisions that you need to make as you begin your role as DP. We will discuss some of these from the DP guide later in our meeting. I want to also challenge you to try and serve in your role as DP for at least four years. Consistency in leadership is important. As we head toward events like Third Wave 2011, NYC 2011, and Global NYI Convention in 2013, consistency will help each district, and our region as a whole, as we plan and encourage others to attend these events.

Respectively Submitted,

Rev. Richard R. Vasquez NW Region NYI President

Motion to accept by Troy Teeter 2nd by Kyle White MPU Big Picture Training Report NWR Training Report – Spring Meeting 2010

I'm stoked to announce the merger between Big Picture Training and Barefoot Training!

Feb 28-March 2, 2010, BPT trainers met with Chris Folmsbee and the Barefoot Training Team. Chris has served as youth pastor, led various youthworker training initiatives and is now leading Barefoot. We are excited and privileged to have Chris’ able leadership and compelling vision to lead us.

During our meetings we shared spaces of prayer reflection in Christ as well as conversing through Enroute and Encounter. These seminars will be trained the next two years to be followed by the other trainings listed on BFT's website www.barefoottraining.com

What does all this mean right now for youth worker training on our region?

1) Trainer positions on District NYI councils, partnerships, and resources are critical to the mission of guiding youth workers and students in spiritual formation for the mission of God.

2) The BPT events currently booked online are our last. The BPT seminars will be digitized and become web modules this year offered through Barefoot.

3) Book Enroute events to host on your districts and BFT will provide the training facilitator.

4) Once a current Big Picture Team Member hosts, participates, team trains a BFT workshop and, completes the BFT application/evaluation process they will be considered to be a BFT facilitator.

Kenny Wade Motion to accept by Mike Yost 2nd by Troy Teeter MPU

Discussion ensued about what the present transitions looks like. One particular question is will training be promoted more widely. Is there a way to communicate an event with people without them having to go to a website. How are they are going to universally promote the events? Dear Directors,

I am apologizing for reporting back so late after the November meeting with the regional Council. There are two policies that have changed for our region. The regional council felt that we needed to be in line with the general guidelines of all the participants in the Main Event. Here are the basic changes that will begin taking effect as soon as we can implement them:

1. A teen quizzer will be able to participate in the regional quiz if they are between the ages of 12-18 inclusive at the time of the regional event. The nineteen year old may participate if they are still enrolled in high school. Remember that the general rules for participation for all events at NNU Main Event are grades 7-12 and on NYC years it is limited to grades 8-12.

2. In keeping with the philosophy of NYI and our region, we are allowing the guest churches who are participating in the open division to compete for positions on the regional team only during the national tournament years (even number years ). These national tournaments are open to all teams who participate regularly in our local district Nazarene tournaments.

Note: We would like to limit this 1st year to only the #1 guest church team from their respective districts. At this time we have only two districts bringing guest teams. These two teams would be included in the complete round robin with the district all-stars and church teams.

Thank you for your support and grace.

In Christ,

Henry T. Miller 541-330-1443

Motion to accept by Trent Friberg 2nd by Kyle White MPU

Henry will communicate the following with quiz directors and Stacey will update the Regional handbook:

Quizzing teams competing at Main Event: a) A district all-star team composed of all-star participants selected at the district quiz-off. One team per District. b) A church champion team. This is a local team that won the district competition at the district quiz-off. One team per District. c) An open class. This division (a guest church on your district, a second church team, or a second all-star team) will not be eligible for any NNU scholarship dollars. These teams will be assessed a $50.00 registration fee. Each quizzer and coach will be expected to register and pay the regular Main Event fees. Each team will be expected to participate in chapels as do all quizzers and Main Event participants. The number of teams in this class is not limited. d) The Regional Quiz Director and/or the Regional NYI Council has the authority to make changes / exceptions to the above rules and the quizzing schedule.

2011 Main Event Offering: in looking at this the council has committed to pay $2500 to help bring RP’s from other regions for NYC 2010. The suggestion is that next year, 2011 Main Event offering will be used to help offset this cost.

Troy Teeter opened with devotions: Matthew 4:17ff. 12 Ordinary Men-McCarther. Call Conference Report: April 15, 2010

Northwest Regional Council,

At our spring meeting, we get to look forward to Fall and to begin again our anticipation of our annual Call Conference. With many new members to our council, I’d like to share a little bit about the Call Conference!

Discussions: Brief Mission/Vision Summary; the Call Conference team: Mike K., Johnny H., Stacey B., Mike M., Kenny W., Trent F.

Paperwork – I’ve thought about developing an online application system. Does anyone have contacts that could help develop this system?

Promotion – The best method of promotion for this event is simple: #1) Understand the value of this event. This is time and space and room for students within our youth groups hungry to hear and listen to God’s voice to take time and energy to do just that. If you believe this will happen, as you talk to youth pastors on your district, it will show. Also, know the value of each student having a mentor to walk with them through this event. #2) Begin the conversations. Start talking to the youth pastors on your district about their current sophomore and juniors. Maybe at camp begin asking if they have that new junior or senior that they need to invite and challenge to take this time. You must start the conversation! #3) Help them get there. Begin finding a way for your district to help cover the costs of the Call Conference. The amount the conference costs is far below the value of the experience, but ask your council how you can support your students and their mentors. #4) Show the video. At your senior high camp this summer, show the Call Conference video, which will be produced and distributed by June 1st. Show it and make it available to your youth pastors and your churches. The success of this important event is largely dependent on your promotion of it. Please do not delay. If you have questions, please feel free to give me a call at my office, 360.736.9981, on my cell, 360.269.1576 or email me at the address listed above.

Funding 2007 2008 2009 Expenses $9850 $9436 $11302 Income $5000 $5840 $6775 Amt. Requested from NNU $4850 $3596 $4527 Should we request a change in the funding structure before it is changed for us? Suggestion: Go to NNU and say, we are wanting to expand this Conference, but don’t want to saddle NNU with a variable request each year that will continue to grow as we develop this event. Can we have NNU cover our costs for A) Publications/Advertising, B) Honoraria for our speakers and C) Facility Charges? This would total $4810 and would not vary according to our numbers. It would then be our job to calculate a fee that will cover our expenses from year to year.

Your Participation Your role during the week of the Call Conference is critical as well. As District President, you will serve as a discussion leader in a small group. (If you are unable to stay for the Call Conference, you will need to recruit and designate a replacement for yourself. Please communicate this to me early.) In order to lead effectively, you will need to come having read the text I Believe: Exploring the Apostles’ Creed by Alister McGrath. (Find it at amazon.com at http://amzn.to/cdymMl.) It is not too lengthy, but is incredibly powerful. Please do not plan to read this for the first time as you travel to Nampa.

Thanks for your efforts and for all you do,

Serving Him, Trent

Motion to accept Henry Miller 2nd by Kenny Wade MPU

Discussion ensued around the amount of money that might be requested from NNU to help fund The Call Conference. As NNU invests in The Call Conference it also means that there is the expectation that the Regional Council communicate the event well assuring that student and mentor numbers will be good.

Kenny made a structural suggestion-having pastors and other table discussion leaders come on Sunday morning has been challenging. Many of the table leaders are busy on Sunday and have to take time off of work to be here. Kenny made the suggestion that the Sunday am meeting be moved to a different time to help accommodate a greater number of pastor and other adult table leaders.

Trent & Kenny will follow-up on this conversation.

James brought forward a suggestion that at least one of the discussion tables focus on the process of what to do when you feel called to ministry i.e. when to pursue a local license etc.

Motion: NW Regional Council will request 5000 that will go to The Call Conference for fixed costs.

ADJUSTED MOTION via Email – Approved The NW Regional Council will request that NNU contribute $5000/year to go toward the payment of some of the fixed costs of The Call Conference, specifically Administration, Publications/Advertising & Facilities.

Palcon July 27-29, 2010 Fred Fullerton Talked about training opportunities that will be available for youth pastors at the event and those in the Treasure Valley area.

Barefoot Training: When each district books a training of the course of the next year date please let Kenny Wade and Fred Fullerton know. The university is willing to pay $1000 per district ($1400 for Alaska) to help fund trainings on each district. Once a training is booked and Fred has been notified he will then work out the logistics for getting the money to each district for the training.
