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 now called "Online School of Ministry." All courses, academic requirements, and official administrative regulations are in the Sourcebook on Ordination (Manual, 426.4). 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.
66 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. Please contact David Sutton (at 417-714-4335) for more information. 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.

73 V. Reports
A. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT
District assembly Report 2016 Mark J Bane District Superintendent, Joplin District Church of the Nazarene
Dr. Warrick , District assembly delegates and friends. It is my great pleasure to report on the activity of the Holy Spirit in the lives and ministries of the awesome pastors, staff, leaders, their spouses and lay men and women of the Great Joplin District for 2015-16. Today I bring to you my third report as District Superintendent on that activity. I am happy to report to you that we have had the best year in the history of our great district, by all measurable standards. Let me share the highlights, you may join me on page 46 of your booklets. -You have had more people in worship than ever! -You have had more people involved in discipleship than ever! -You have more members than ever before. -You have had more Professions of Faith than ever before! The scripture says in Proverbs 3:27, “Do good to whom it is due when it is in the power of your own hands to do so.” I would like to acknowledge gratitude to those who made this year possible: -The Holy Spirit who empowered us. -The laymen who served with us. -The pastors who led us. Their spouses who partnered with them.
74 -The staff who assisted us. Their spouses who partnered in their ministry. We are all part of a winning team! Please turn to your neighbor and say to them, “You are a winner!” If you are part of a church that experienced a bad year, you are a part of a winning team. If you are a part of a church having a good year you are a part of a winning team. When we win, God wins. Because we have won corporately the only looser is the enemy of our souls. Dr. Warrick, delegates and friends, I am happy to report today that on the Joplin District: -God’s army is advancing against the armies of darkness. -The enemy is losing territory! -Hell is being depopulated! -God continues to win on our region! It is good to celebrate what we have seen accomplish this year by the help of the Spirit. However as we celebrate today we must be vigilant to stay on mission. The Apostle Paul helps us with this. Let’s read together the text Philippians 3:14 “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” In this text Paul gives us encouragement, from his own journey to “press on.” While in this text Paul uses the language, “Press On,” his life and ministry reflect three themes I would like to develop. 1. He always “pressed on” with the vision he received, “To preach the gospel to the Gentiles.” 2. He always understood and demonstrated that he could continue pressing on in the mission unless he was constantly “pressing in” to the heart of God. Philippians 3:10-11 reminds us what really mattered to Paul, “ I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.” 3. Pressing in to relationship with Christ drove him to “press out” to those who did not yet know Christ. Acts 9:15 “I have chosen Paul to take the Gospel to the Gentiles.”
Aren’t we glad Paul “pressed out” beyond the Jews who knew God? So let’s take some time to unpack these three themes that expressed the life or the greatest apostle in scripture. I. “Press on”: Paul understood the concept of pressing on. At the time of writing this he was in prison for preaching this Gospel. He didn’t quit, blame the church, become bitter because the world was so hard or give up because it was difficult. No, he pressed on. The language Paul uses is that of a race. The picture is that of a well-trained, well-prepared athlete at the end of the race, running for the finish line with hands outreached straining for the prize. Paul wasn’t just describing running in the race, but seeking to win the race. Paul would not be satisfied with wining a participation ribbon. No, he wanted to win the prize. Pressing on is all about wanting to give all we have with all God gives to accomplish the goal God has put before us. Pressing on means three things:
A. It means there is a goal: We have many goals, however they are all driven by the goal to glorify God. We are to glorify Him best by doing His will. II Peter 3: says “it is not his will that “EVEN ONE PERISH,” A.1. The goal is very simple “0.” 2 Peter 3:9 A.2. He will help us with the goal: John 6:44 “The Spirit is wooing.” A.3. We must speak the words of life to people. Romans 10:14
75 We as a district have many goals, all of which fall under the one objective of Glorifying God and enhancing his reputation. These goals were here when I arrived in Joplin. Although God had modified them in some ways, they are, at their core, the goals I was handed when you elected me as DS 3 years ago this week. After reading the profile you provided upon my arrival, we decided to adopt the five Strategies given us by the USA Canada Regional study, developed to insure that “Making Christ like Disciples’” is not only our aspiration and mission, but that through the implementation of these strategies we might actually move from theory to action. So, in my first report to you in 2014 we suggested a focus on each strategy for two years. Our goal was not simply to emphasize these particular strategies, but to implement systems and practices that would insure the continuation of their emphasis indefinitely on the Joplin District. Those strategies are: 1. New Church development: 2. Vibrant Church Renewal 3. Passionate Missional outreach 4. Leadership Development 5. Theological Identity
How are we doing on our development of these emphases? 1. New Church development: We spent two years (2014-15) emphasizing New Church Development and the results are amazing. The vision for this began October 2011in Dallas. (SHOW JIM DILLOW VIDEO) I am excited to share, we are making amazing progress on the vision. How the emphases evolved and what is our visions for the future? -We have planted 55 new churches. -We have registered 44 new churches. -We have organized 12 new churches. -We have established a system of training to insure all of our pastors and leaders know how to plant a church and how to launch a church out of their existing churches. -We have established an assessment center training, to insure that those who plant churches are gifted and prepared to do so. How do things look in the future of Church Planting? -The next level of this training, initiating this year, will be a continued effort to train all of our lay men and women in this same training. -What is our long term vision for Church Planting? Dennis Bergin and Chad Clardie share the vision of 600 churches by June 2028 2. Vibrant Church Renewal: We have been emphasizing this strategy since assembly (2015) I am happy to report: 1. Several of our churches have turned from decline and plateaued to growth. 2. We started a “Vibrant Renewal Program” with one of the foremost consultants in the field, Dr. Paul Borden, involving 5 plateaued or declining churches that will insure this happens. Neodesha, pastor Darrell Bisel, Neosho, pastor James Keezer, Nixa, pastor Gary Swearengin, Ava Highway, pastor Mark Hatcher, Parsons, pastor Mike Hull
76 3. The local churches and the district have invested much back into the local church by creating a program of renewal that will become an indigenous, low cost system to insure that all of our churches have the opportunity to shift from decline or plateau to growth, moving forward. 4. Our three departments invested to the tune of a. SDMI 10,000 b. NMI 7,000 c. NYI 3,000 All for a total of 20,000 for Church renewal, with additional funds from off district. -Could Rhonda and Phil, Fred and Angie and Ford and Karen please come forward? -Let’s celebrate their great service to me and the Joplin District. 5. I am most pleased to share we have moved from 54% of our churches reporting at least 1 profession of faith in 2013 to 73% this year. Remember my first report of 31 with no profession of faith? My goal is 100%!
We have many pastors, people and churches that have demonstrated this “Pressing on spirit.” We have a group of pastors who cheerlead us in our endeavor of planting churches. (Church planting skit)
I would like to express my deep gratitude for the help and “Pressing on spirit of the following.
A.3.1. The behind the scenes “Silent Servant Awards.” These are people who do great work, yet they are not highly visible. They are servants to God and His Church but if we are not careful, we will not see them, because they don’t want to be seen. In fact they prefer it that way. They are happy to allow others to get the recognition and limelight that they are primarily responsible for others getting. They go the extra mile in stealth fashion. They are the ninjas of the Church. The super heroes that make the rest of us succeed and look good while they are in the background. It is my pleasure to honor those today: A.3.1.a. Cheryl Bane: My wife has been my number one companion now for 38 years. Oh, we haven’t been married that long, only 34 this coming Monday. However I committed myself to her the very first date we had. I remember sitting behind the dorm at the Snack Bar at Trevecca and saying to you, I am not looking for a sister, I have 8 of those, I am not looking for only a friend. No, I am looking for a life companion. A ministry partner. I actually asked her to pray and decide if she was interested in a life adventure with me on our first date. Cheri, thanks, these have been difficult years for you; you have, for the first time in our married life for almost 30 years we are empty nesters, you have traveled the world trying to keep up with me. You have prayed for me. You have sacrificed many of your own personal interest and goals to serve the Lord as we have ministered together. You have made me a better Christian. I know I have not honored you nearly as much as I should have in my life and ministry. Today, I want to do some catching up. I am glad I committed to you 38 years ago and reaffirm that commitment to you today. This is a
77 small token of my extreme gratitude for the sacrifices you have made for the Kingdom as you have silently served alongside me these many years. A.3.1.b. Joyce Dement: Joyce has been a faithful member of the CON for many years. She has served on the DAB for many years. She is a behind the scenes servant at her secular job (a nurse) as well. Probably the most significant behind-the- scenes servanthood she has displayed has been the care given to her husband over these many years, of which these past 9 months have required a deeper devotion, as Dr. Gene, her husband suffered major injury in an automobile accident September of last year. A.3.1.c. John Prichard: John has quietly grown his church from 50 to almost 100 in 10 years. That is a 100% increase. John is a humble servant of the Lord who is willing to make a difference without applause. He probably will not like being recognized this morning. Sorry John. Thanks!
A.3.2. I am grateful for the encouragement and support of many others: Would you please come forward? A.3.2.a. Jim and Susan Dillow A.3.2.b. Jan Wright A.3.2.c. Chris and Connie Carver A.3.2.d.

B. It means leaving something behind: If you press towards something then you are surely pressing away from something as well. What is it we press away from in the church? We press away from complacency, mediocrity, average etc.
C. It means it will cost energy and effort. Paul uses the word, Press.” In the Greek, this word is rich with meaning. It means to strive or to strain. Paul describes his effort for the mission in 2 Cor. 11:23-27 I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
Challenge: C.1.1. Attempt big things this year: Go for it! C.1.2. If you fail, fail big this year. Set goals we can’t accomplish without His intervention. Most of us cast a 20 20 vision. How long it would take you to double your church. I, today challenge you today to re-dream the answer to that question again today. 3. Illustration of “Press On,” KAISON. Continued improvement. Winston Churchill understood this: “To improve is to change. To be perfect is to change often.” To Press on. Our theology is baptized in this thought. Our Manual, article of faith 10 page 33, paragraph 10.1 “We believe there is a marked distinction between a pure heart and a mature character. The former is obtained in an instant, the result of entire sanctification; the latter is the result of growth in grace. Tellos
80 II. Press “in”: When you have been around someone often enough, long enough and intimately enough, you can’t help but act like, walk like them and speak like them. When we press in:
A. We get direction for our churches. We receive amazing revelation from God on how to do church. He is creative. He has ways to do life and church that no one has yet discovered or attempted. Every idea for doing church, someone received. If we press in to Him we will be filled with His creative ideas about church. It is better than going to a seminar, as good as they are and as important as it is to do so. It is more important than reading the latest book on church growth, church planting or church health.
B. We get encouragement when the battle gets hot. When I was pastoring, in the most difficult years of my life and ministry, there were many things I knew about people that I could tell no one. There were things people did to me and said to me that were very hurtful. There were issues I dealt with in my personal and family life that were nearly impossible. Most of those things I could share with my loving wife, wise mentors or close friends and get some direction and support. But at the end of the day my best support came on my knees. Many of us live with a limp, we play wounded because we haven’t pressed into His heart. Jesus handled the cross because He went there in the garden. We must face our challenges there.
C. We get courage to charge the hill that we would otherwise let the enemy take.
D. We are changed from being resource driven to vision driven. Pressing in causes us to anticipate the resources, finances and tools to accomplish mission rather than the obstacles and objections that prevent us from it.
Challenge: I challenge every pastor, Christian and church to begin a prayer focus that will last for eternity and rather than diminish to crescendo until Jesus comes or we go meet him. 1. Every pastor, Christian and church begin a lifelong prayer focus 2. Pastor commit to praying at least one hour a day. 3. Laymen and women commit to praying an hour a day. 4. Churches commit to having a corporate prayer meeting, led by the pastor, weekly where believers can join their hearts and voices to the Father.
Illustration: My family reunion and myself. Mr. Long’s house and car began to look like him. The highest form of praise is imitation. Charles Colton, English cleric. I challenge everyone under the influence of this district to recommit to “pressing in.” It is the answer to all the difficulties we face.
III. Press “out”…How will we press out?
A. By recommitting to the mission: Illustration of Ministerial Candidate asking, what is the number one problem you face in your local churches and how does the Manual help with it? I have answered this question in many ways. That day I answered as follows. Oh you could list the problems; from concerns over laws that might impact our activity and lifestyles to laypeople, leaders and clergy misunderstanding their roles to carnality in the church to arguments over how much to pay the pastor to etc… you could name your own problems and
81 chime in with me. However on this particular call, I had spent some quality time praying and seeking God so that I could give the best answer. I said, “I could give you many problems that local churches face, (and I mentioned some listed previously,) but essentially most every issue I deal with in the church is related to Attention Deficit Disorder. That is, many Christian’s, clergy and churches suffer from the fact that our attention is deficient and it causes all kinds of disorder. As the Prophet Jerimiah said, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” I don’t mean to say our people, pastors and churches don’t have a vision. They all have a vision or a focus or they value highly many things. I think we are deficient in in our attention on what should be our attention. Many of our churches are hurting for the same reason an ingrown toenail hurts, ”It is not growing out.”
B. Focus on Multiplication: (Becoming Level 5 Power Pointe)
B.1. Level 1,2- please stay, don’t leave B.2. Leve 2, 3- please come, see what we have to offer B.3. Level 4,5- please go and go multiply
C. Introduce and commission the MAC Leaders and explain how this will make us more effective and more productive with fewer resources. Area 1- Dustin Ledford (Joplin First, Joplin Calvary, Monett, Monett Fuente De Agua Viva, Marionville) Area 2- Nathan Haeck (Webb City, Lamar Living Hope, Ozark First, Hope Community, Warsaw, Webb City Hispanic) Area 3- James Keezer (Neosho, Galena Parkhill, Sarcoxie New Beginnings, Reeds Spring New Hope, Republic First, Neosho Casa Jaziel) Area 4- Kyles Rogers (Pittsburg, Springfield The Well, Mt. Vernon, Parsons, Iola, Pittsburg Hispanic, Butler) Area 5- Dennis Bergen (Goodman Banner, Cassville, Powell Twin Springs, Noel, Anderson Iron Works, Joplin Traders) Area 6- Dale Samuels (Girard Living Faith, Osceola, El Dorado Springs, Carl Junction, Baxter Springs, Hepler Cross Trails Cowboy Church) Area 7- Chad Clardie (Springfield One Life, Springfield Scenic, Branson, Forsyth Trinity, Nixa, Nixa Organic, Potter’s House) Area 8- Steve Suttles (Chanute, Buffalo, Columbus, Cherryvale, Elk City, Fort Scott) Area 9- Brian Letsinger (Marshfield, Hartville Solid Rock Cowboy, Springfield Grace, Mansfield, Norwood Countryside, Aurora) Area 10- Darren Melton (Independence, Coffevyille Central, Coffeyville First, Caney, Independence Axis, Independence Hispanic) Area 11- Mark Terrill (Seymour, Ava Cold Creek Cowboy, Fordland Union Chapel, Bradleyville, Springfield Dayspring, Dogwood) Area 12- Phil Rhoades (Garnett, Pleasanton, Neodesha, McCune, Nevada, Paola) Area 13-Mark Hatcher (Ava Highway, Goodhope, Rogersville, harvest Community, Houston New Horizon, Mtn. Grove Faith Community, Strafford)
82 Area 14- Grant Foster (Camdenton New Life, Bolivar First, Wheatland, Lebanon Freedom, Clinton, Deepwater Crossroads)
-Challenge: C.1. Let’s begin to think different this year. When I was introduced to a new church the DS always took me on the prettiest nicest rout. Smart, if the pastor wants a nice life. I wanted to do ministry. Melton Rushing took me on the war zone route, right through the worse section of Albuquerque. DS took me on the golf course route. He told me I had a nice church with a nice bunch of people who will pay me well and treat me well. The conversation was centered around the building ant those in it. When I take a pastor to a church I say, “Here is a community of 23,000 within a ten mile radius. This is your parish. You have a building and 200 missionaries to reach this perish.” If your memories are more vivid than your dreams, you have already began to die. C.2. Let’s begin to act differently this year. Every pastor and staff member lead someone to Christ this year. Dr. JK Warrick challenged me this year: Who are you currently cultivating for the Kingdom this year? C.3. Let’s begin to produce differently this year: Let’s be more interested in getting the mission accomplished than in how we are doing it. I have been noticing all the turtles crossing roads this spring. Some have given their lives for it. Do you know why they are crossing the roads? Some say to accomplish a mission. No to reproduce. What a great thing to give your life for. So, in closing, join me in I. Pressing on with the mission we have been given: “0” II. Pressing into the heart of God for the courage, resources and vision for the mission. III. Pressing out to a world that is in desperate shape and unaware of their danger.
Closing Illustration: “Daddy catch her.” Kelley jumping. I was always there. If you jump where he told you, I promise, He will be there to catch you.
Humbly and respectfully submitted,
Mark J Bane

1. Audit Committee
We find that the records of the district treasurer were audited by Stan Schmidt, CPA.

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, Hershell Letsinger, Secretary Gary Cotterill, Chairman
2. Finance
Section I
2016 DISTRICT FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
Local Church
Following a study of our needs, your District Finance Committee submits the following report. We recommend: 1. That reimbursement of travel expense to district and all auxiliary functions be set at $.40 per mile for the 2015-2016 assembly year. 2. That the General Assembly Delegate Expense Fund be used to purchase savings certificates or invested to receive the best return. This will be at the discretion of the district treasurer, district superintendent and chairman of the finance committee. These funds are to remain invested until needed for the use of General Assembly delegates. 3. That churches requesting financial assistance, if granted, be placed on a descending scale plan as developed by the District Advisory Board. This will enable the district to have adequate funding to help start new works and strengthen church with growth potential. 4. As a New Testament church, we believe strongly in tithing (10%) of our income to God. We also believe in giving first fruit offerings. The Unified Ministry Fund is 10’’% of income (less WEF and approved Mission Specials sent to the Global Ministry Center and WEF is 5.5% of income (less WEF and Approved Mission Specials sent to the Global Ministry Center).

VI. Department Conventions A. NMI CONVENTION AND REPORTS 1. 2016 NMI President’s Report
59th Joplin District NMI Presidents Report June 1, 2016 Carthage, MO
D.S. Mark Bane, Pastors, Presidents and Members of this 59th Convention, We have come together in this place at this time to celebrate all that Almighty God has done through the faithful people of the Joplin District. It is a privilege to lead the Joplin District NMI and to report all that you have accomplished as you took the challenge to “Dream Big”. Dreaming is often a challenge in the midst of hard days, but just as God came through for Daniel, Joseph and Peter, He will come through for us. We cannot forget that the battle we wage is in the Spirit realm, and God is fighting for us. This past year the Joplin District has watched God move in spectacular ways as new churches were planted, new Christians were brought into membership and we dreamed of new ways to spread the Gospel on our district and around the world. This year we started a Facebook page for the Joplin District NMI where you can find updates, prayer requests, and other information. We used this avenue to try to keep you up to date on the Progress that our Vice President, Delilah Johnson, was making during her surgery and recovery in San Diego. We praise God for His watchful care over Delilah and our increased faith in our healing God. Brenda Pritchard developed our page and keeps it updated. You can also go to the District website and find information on the NMI page. Vicki Barnum is working hard at learning all about this and keeping you informed about upcoming dates. I appreciate our District Council. They are hardworking, willing to help, faithful “prayers,” and unafraid to invest in the District, in our Youth and to step out in faith. God has indeed blessed me. I want to thank Lindsey Letsinger for her service to the council and the children of our District. She is stepping down from her position, and we are welcoming Sarah Pridey to take over this position. The task of NMI, is to mobilize the church in Missions. The NMI is responsible to educate the church about what God is doing around the world and to give the church opportunities to be involved in the Mission work around the world. Nazarene Missions International is to educate the church about Missions and what God is doing around the world. We must not make an assumption that our church people understand what NMI means, what it does, why it exists. Many of our young people are giving their time and money to other organizations, and we must make every effort to teach our children and youth the wonderful heritage of Nazarene Missions and help them understand how terrific our system is at caring for the lost and our Missionaries. If they truly understand, they will support it wholeheartedly. This is also true for every new believer who attends our churches. We must convey the importance of supporting our missionaries through WEF and make everyone aware of ALL the opportunities to give through NMI.
Let’s take a moment to look at the Joplin District’s giving record for the past year. Slides available Missionary Health Care: $3,312 (helps supply insurance) Alabaster: $31,994.55 LINKS: $970.95 World Mission Broadcast: $4,714.52 Christmas Fund: $803.54 (to make sure each missionary gets a “gift”) Work & Witness: $29,741.10 Compassionate Ministries: $37,691.24 Deputation: $19,704.20 Jesus Film: $6,420.73 Child Sponsorship: $44,386.15 VBS: $5,163.69 Field Specials: $18,240.53 Partnerships: $25 Mission Corp: $1,584 Other: $495 Total giving for 10% Specials: $205,247.20
One of the highlights for this year was sending two District work and witness teams. Don Daniel led our regular District Work and Witness team to Kentucky where they helped fellow Nazarenes. Nathan Haeck and James Keezer led our 100th Anniversary Work and Witness team to Papua New Guinea to build a toilet/shower block for the workers. Praise the Lord for opening doors and for our churches all working together to raise the funds for the work done on these trips. We will hear from these leaders a little later in our Convention. I want to say thank you to you, the Joplin District for supporting these teams. Thank you to the churches who paid your Pastor’s costs so they could participate. God will bless your generosity.
This past January, the Global Council met in Orlando, Florida for our regular meetings. Many things were discussed at this meeting to make NMI continue to be on the forefront of Missions for our denomination. One of the items we were informed of was the NMI Top 5 Areas of Impact. Let me share them with you now, as these will be the areas of emphasis in the years to come. Prayer: As I stand here before you today, many of us on the Joplin District have just finished 31 days of prayer for the Pastors and churches on the Joplin District. Thank you, Marilyn Baker for leading us in this month long season of prayer. Prayer is the most important work we do. Prayer is the life-line that holds us securely to the Father. Prayer is the divine initiative that links our heart to the heart of the Father. Every church on the Joplin District should make prayer a priority this year. Every Nazarene on the Joplin District should make prayer a priority this year. God moves in direct response to our prayers. The evil one wants us to believe that this is simply not true, but he is a liar. If we want more people saved in our services, more saved people sanctified in our services, more people healed in our churches, then Prayer must become a priority in all of our lives. Pray daily for your Pastor, your D.S. and those who need Christ. Along with prayer, we must resurrect the pairing of Prayer and Fasting. These two should be regularly practiced by believers. One says, “God, we know you are the source of all things and we want Your Will to be done”, and the others says, “God we’re willing to give up what sustains our very lives in order to see Your Hand move in our midst.” WEF: The World Evangelism Fund is the most important money we raise for the Missions endeavor of the Church of the Nazarene. The World Evangelism Fund helps to fund and fulfill the mission of the Church of the Nazarene: to make Christ-like disciples in the nations! It provides full-time missionaries with salary, medical insurance, a pension, housing and travel to and from the field. WEF provides literature in more than 90 languages which includes books for Pastors and Bible-based teaching materials for children, youth and adults. It also support ministries of the Board of General Superintendents, Global Mission, NMI, NYI and SDMI as well as the International Board of Education and the General Treasurer’s office. From the beginning of our denomination, we have supported all our church’s endeavors through the World Evangelism Fund. Our means of support brings every church together for one cause. On our own, each church could not support all these areas, but together we can support the work of the Lord and our Church. Never before has any Nazarene missionary had to work to earn their own support because we all gave! However, in the last few years, more and more of our Missionaries have had to start finding ways to help support themselves. This should NOT be the case. If every church of the Nazarene all around the world gave 5.5% to WEF we could put more missionaries in the field, and some of our missionaries who have gone to the Mission Field as volunteers (funding themselves) could be supported by the Denomination. We can all give something. No other Mission Group is as stable, as strong or as capable as the Nazarenes! Because of the vision and wisdom of our forefathers, we are the “envy” of every Mission group sending missionaries. Many groups come to us in order to get their message out. Jesus Film came to us because they knew our organization was trustworthy and well-functioning. When a disaster hits, we have things in place to get the needs of people met faster than other organizations. Because we are already there, more supplies get where they are needed. Together we are strong. Together we make a difference. Together we can reach the world. Together! Every church on this district should be giving to the World Evangelism Fund. Every church, whether a month old or a hundred years old can and should make WEF a priority. Our Missionaries are depending on us. We can’t let them down. The Joplin District raised $474,777.10 for WEF this past year. We were only $5,611.21 short of being a 100% District (98.82%)! We’re looking ahead, we’re Pressing ON and next year we’ll accomplish our goal of being a District which pays 100% of our WEF. Thank you for being a generous, giving, faithful community of believers. The Joplin District is the best! I’m proud to be your NMI President. Pastors, thank you for leading the way and teaching your congregations why we have the World Evangelism Fund, and how it is used. Knowing helps our younger Nazarene’s develop a passion to give. Thank you for presenting your church with the opportunity to give, the opportunity to be part of the divine solution to a world lost in sin. ALABASTER: Alabaster is as relevant today as it was when it began. We still need land, houses, hospitals, churches, offices and schools. 100% of the Alabaster offering goes to these endeavors and there are still new countries to be established in. All of this can be done through Alabaster, and we take this offering twice a year, September and February. Find new ways to make taking this offering fun. CHILDREN: “Behold, Children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man (church) who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame. . . (Ps. 127: 3-5)” We often hear that children are the church of tomorrow, but truly they are the church of today! Children are part of the family of God and quite capable of ministering to the church. We must train them, disciple them, and use them in the Church so that they are fully equipped to lead tomorrow. I gave my heart to Jesus at the age of 4. I know many of you here today gave your heart to Jesus as a child. The decision to follow Christ and my love for the church kept me on the right path as I grew up. We must not undervalue our children, but must pour into their lives so that they are bold and courageous for the LORD. This is more crucial now than ever before. We must teach our children to pray and to give and to yield to the authority of God, and we adults must be examples at home, at work, at church, at play and in private. LINKS: The connection between the Missionaries and our churches is important. LINKS is the avenue that we use to connect. Our missionaries desire relationships with their LINKS churches, so this year we want to make a priority of each church contacting their LINKS Missionaries several times. This can be done by e-mail, letter, SKYPE, Facebook or any other mode of communication. Send birthday cards, anniversary cards, notes from the children of the church. Connect with them and pray for them. Support them with the Missionary Christmas Fund and LINKS monetary assignments. Our Missionaries depend on us for their insurance, their paycheck, and their prayer covering. Think of your LINKS families as part of your own church family and put yourself in their shoes. Would you want to hear from home? Would you desire to be prayed for and wouldn’t a birthday card or letter lift your Spirit? There are hundreds of organizations crying out for support, for your attention and for your approval. Most of them are great organizations. However, our money is best used when given through our Denomination. Several years ago we had missionaries from a creative access country. They explained to me that when a catastrophe happened in their part of the world, they were able to get supplies to those who needed them because our denomination put the funds in their bank account and they could go to local merchants and buy. Because they bought from local merchants, their supplies got through and needs were met. Other organizations lost their supplies at ports, and customs so needs went unmet. You see, when we give through Nazarene Missions, we get the job done! Pastor and NMI President, teach your people how our organization works and they’ll understand that their giving makes a difference and is effectively used to spread the gospel. As we Press On in the new church year, let’s pray more, give more and educate our children more. Let’s Press On towards the goal of spreading the Gospel and Making Christ-like Disciples in the Nations. Let’s join the Apostle Paul as he stated in Philippians 3:13-14. “But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” It is the upward call of Christ Jesus that must compel us to join together in giving so that the entire world can know Jesus Christ. May the LORD bless you and keep you. May the LORD make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord turn His countenance toward you and give you peace. May God uphold you with His Righteous Right Hand and guide you each day. O that God would bless you indeed and expand your territory and keep you from evil. May He hold you tightly and be your shield and defender as you move forward into enemy territory. Do so without fear or trembling, but with bold courage for the King of Glory, the LORD God Almighty lives within you and is far greater than he who seeks to destroy.
Respectfully Submitted,
Rhonda Rhoades
2. NMI Convention Proceedings
Wednesday, June 1, 2016
Preceding the opening of our convention, our secretary, Trina Leaf, made several logistical announcements to the convention. Comic relief by pastors Brian Letsinger and Mark Hatcher set the pace for an exciting and fun convention. President Rhonda Rhoades called to order the 59th Joplin District NMI Convention. Organization aspects of the convention were approved. Over 136 of our children (along with 47 adult helpers) attending Missionary Fun Day entered the convention and sang a song (A Soul on Fire) for us, after which they sat in a designated area and heard a special message from visiting missionaries David & Naomi Phillips (field strategy coordinators for the Asia Pacific Region). Afterwards, appreciation was expressed to Lindsay Letsinger and her helpers for staffing today’s Fun Day and then the children were dismissed. Gifts of appreciation were given to visiting missionaries, the Phillips; our district missionaries Helen Norcross, Lolis Rosbrugh and Barbara Simmons; former NMI district presidents Jan Wright and Susan Dillow; as well as District Superintendent Mark Bane and his wife, Cheri. The chair was yielded to Rev. Mark Bane, our district superintendent, who greeted the delegation, introduced a WWII veteran who earned a purple heart, and then introduced Rhonda for the Special Order of the Day. Rhonda reported many of the ways our district “Went Big” this past year giving over $205,000 to special offerings. Our World Evangelism giving, as of today, is 100%. Rhonda encouraged us to Press On this next year with 100% participation in all aspects, and 100% of our WEF paid. The areas of special interest and emphasis this next year are: Prayer & Fasting, World Evangelism Fund, Alabaster, Children, and LINKS. Let’s Press On towards the goal of spreading the Gospel and Making Christ-like Disciples in the Nations. We were challenged with Philippians 3:13-14, “But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Rev. Bane led the convention in receiving Rhonda’s report and at God’s direction led in a love offering for Rhonda.(This offering totaled $900.) Trina took the opportunity to present Rhonda with an appreciation gift on behalf of the district council and the convention. The Nominating Committee Report for the election of General Convention delegates and alternates was read aloud to the convention. The motion to approve the report was made and seconded and approved. The board of tellers was called and approved. Rhonda prayed for the election, ballots were distributed and votes collected by the board of tellers who was released to count. One of our bilingual pastor’s, Eder, shared his powerful testimony with the delegation. Our NMI Treasurer, Marta Ward, presented her annual report to the convention. This report was received. In addition, the Finance Committee and World Mission Committee reports were received. A Memorial Roll certificate was given to Mary Rush, in honor of her husband Rev. Garry Rush. Another one is prepared for the family of B.J. Garber, though they were not in attendance at today’s convention. The following churches were recognized for achieving Award of Excellence. They were given their certificate and a flag of the nation of Philippines. Baxter Springs, Bolivar First, Butler, Camdenton New Life, Carthage, Cassville, Coffeyville First, Columbus, El Dorado Springs, Fort Scott, Galena Parkhill, Goodman Banner, Independence First, Joplin Calvary, Lamar Living Hope, Lebanon Freedom, Marionville, McCune, Mt. Vernon, Nevada, Nixa, Nixa Organic, Norwood Countryside, Ozark, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, Sarcoxie New Beginnings, Strafford, and Webb City. Selena Freeman made us aware of a special offering that will be collected this evening in the NMI service called the Buddy Offering. This special offering is collected once every four years to assist our general convention delegates that are coming from world areas, but do not have the resources to stay for extended time in the United States. She encouraged each of us to come prepared to give generously to this offering. Our new LINKS assignments were presented by Peggy Strange. Mission Areas 1 and 3 will have Dr. John and Vicki Moore from Australia. The Moore’s will be with us next year for our district convention. Mission Area 2 will have Emily Ray, a retired missionary who served in Guatemala. Mission area # 4 will continue with the Patrick and Kimberly LeGrand family from Costa Rica. For all of us, our local LINKS are the leaders of the Potters’ House, Steve and Berna Proffitt. Each church on the district is encouraged to care for them in special ways throughout this next year. Rock (Brian Letsinger) and Mick (Mark Hatcher) brought a comical emphasis to our Alabaster, LINKS and book reading emphasis, encouraging us to Press ON! Missionary David Phillips was presented to the convention and spoke a message of victory and encouragement from the Southeast Asia field. Don Daniel and some helpers reported about recent Work and Witness trips taken and then presented information about our upcoming district-organized trip to the Bahamas in January, 2017. The ballot results for the Global NMI Convention delegates are as follows: 210 ballots cast; 1 ballot invalid.
Megan Allen - 69 Marilyn Baker – 110 Vicki Barnum – 46 Heather Bustle – 36 James Keezer – 124 Mary Rush – 49 Don Daniel – 124 Kelley Keezer – 103 Peggy Strange – 92 Faith Haeck – 125 Christopher Keith – 54 Marta Ward – 96 Nathan Haeck – 106 Trina Leaf – 94 Ruth Warren - 57 Jay Jennings – 53 Lindsey Letsinger – 148 Delilah Johnson – 81 Brenda Prichard – 71 102

Trina made some announcements to the delegation after which Rhonda dismissed everyone for their supper break. We will reconvene at 7:00 PM this evening.
Wednesday evening, June 1, 2016
Our evening service convened with joining our voices in praise led by Jonathan Hall and a praise band. Jonathan also led us in an opening prayer. . Rhonda welcomed those in attendance to the evening service of the NMI convention. Following a few announcements, an offering was collected. During the offering we watched a highlight video of the work and witness trip to Papua New Guinea that came about as a result of our 100th Anniversary Offering project. Those that went built a shower/toilet facility for the national workers of the Kudjip Nazarene Hospital mission grounds. Nathan Haeck shared some of the victories and God-powered events of that trip. In addition to more music, Rhonda led the congregation in a time of special prayer for our country, for our pastors, and for our missionaries. Selena and Dylan Freeman directed the special Buddy Offering that was announced earlier in the day. Rhonda re-introduced our speakers after which David Phillips shared his love of and passion for their mission field – Southeast Asia – where they are field strategy coordinators. After a concluding benediction by Rev. Mark Bane, the NMI convention closed.
3. 1NMI 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 102 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.). 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. Participate in the missionary Heath Care, World Mission Broadcast, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Fund, and Alabaster offerings. c. 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—Scott and Gail Dooley, Elizabeth Glasgow, Helen Norcross, and Lolis Rosbrugh in prayer, with a specific time designated to pray and fast on their behalf. 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 2016– 2017 are: Patrick and Kimberly LeGrand, John and Vicki Moore, and Emily Ray. In addition, our Joplin District Local LINKS are the directors of the Potter’s House, Steve and Berna Profitt. 5. That each church be aware of all NMI projects: a. Teen and Children’s Project—$5,000 for training equipment for our pastors in the Southeast Asia region. Send the money for this project to the district NMI treasurer as the offering is received, but no later than February 1, 2017. b. Work and Witness Project—$10,000 for the January 2017 trip to Free Port Grand Island Church of the Nazarene for construction and church leadership training. Send money for this project to the district NMI treasurer as the offering is received. Note: The local allocations of all the projects are in the President’s Resource Notebook and on the Pastor’s Digital Resource Disc. 6. That we embrace our quadrennial theme Making Disciples in the Nations.

4. NMI Finance Committee
The following is recommended by your Committee on Finance:
1. That we promote 100 percent payment of the World Evangelism Fund which supports the missional work of the Church of the Nazarene worldwide. 2. That the district NMI apportionment for the coming year be set at 6.10 percent of the District Unified Budget (which includes General Convention Fund and District Expense) as recommended by the District Finance Committee. 3. That the Missionary Christmas Fund assigned to each local church be taken and sent to the Global Treasury by September 15, 2016. 4.

5. NMI Nominating Committee
104 The District NMI Nominating Committee met on February 6, 2016 at the First Church of the Nazarene in Carthage, Missouri. The number of delegates to our General Convention is based on our District ACTIVE NMI members. Guidelines provide for the number of nominees to be at least three times the number of delegates allowed. At the suggestion of the General NMI Office and the recommendation of the Joplin District Executive NMI Committee, we are working toward empowering the next generation as we elect our delegates for General Convention. With that in mind, we will establish a ballot from which we hope to elect at least: a. 50% of elected delegates in their 50’s or younger. b. 50% of elected delegates that will be present and voting for the first time at an NMI General Convention. The election of delegates and alternates will be by plurality vote and take place on one ballot unless a tie forces a second ballot. The eight names receiving the most votes will be delegates to General Convention. The next eight names in order of votes received will be elected alternates.
Nominees are listed alphabetically.

B. NYI CONVENTION AND REPORTS
1. President’s Report GS Dr. Warrick, DS Rev. Mark Bane, District NYI Council, Convention Delegates, NYI workers and teens, welcome to this 59th NYI Convention of the Joplin District Church of the Nazarene. Please allow me a moment to acknowledge and thank my wife, Angie, and my kids, Mackie and Cameron, for allowing me to serve in this capacity. It continues to be an honor and privilege for me to serve with each of you as we seek to join with the local NYI in equipping every youth for a life of discipleship and service for Jesus Christ. It has been a joy to serve alongside each one of you this year. Joplin is the greatest district in the USA/Canada Region, if not the world I would also like to recognize and thank our District NYI Council for their heart and commitment to our teens, they are to be commended. It is because of your leadership that we are recognized around the world. Thank You. If you are a member of the NYI council please stand. Bye the way, I also bring you greetings on behalf of Cameron Batkin, our sister Field Youth Coordinator from Australia/New Zealand. He is so humbled by the relationships and generosity that the Joplin District NYI has shown to him and his fellow NYI members. As a matter of fact, let’s talk to him right now via a pre-reordered video. Today, for my report for the 2015-2016 year for the Joplin District NYI I would like to encourage you to keep “Pressing On”. Tonight we come from the passage in Philippians 3. I have asked Rachel Harris to come read from the word of God tonight) 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. 15 All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained. (Rachel Harris to read)
Paul opens this passage with both a disclaimer and a declaration. The disclaimer is simply put that he had not yet been made perfect. The point that Paul was making is that there was still room for him to grow in his relationship with God. He had not yet arrived. The declaration is that he was pressing on to get everything that Christ desired to give him. It is so sad that so many realize they have not yet gained all that Christ has for them but give up the pursuit. So I want us tonight as I share to put ourselves, our local ministries and our district NYI in Paul’s context.
One of the first things Paul talks about is “Forgetting what is behind” The image that Paul pulls from society is one of a runner. Not just any runner but the lead runner. The lead runner needs to forget those who are behind and focus on the remainder of the race that lies ahead. The same is true of our walk with God and our journey in ministry together
106 here on the Joplin District.
There are things that are left behind, some good some bad. But why do we insist on continually reliving those bad things? Why do we insist on looking back on those things? Maybe for some of you, your activities didn’t go as you wanted them to. Maybe your NYI isn’t growing as fast as you want. Maybe people have left or graduated and no has come to replace them. Maybe you can’t find people to help. Maybe you’re discouraged. Give those things to God. Those things are in the past and are washed away by the redeeming blood of Jesus; we should bear them no more. We are called to run our Christian race in the leader status. We are called to live the Christian life focused not on what we have left behind but on what we have yet to embrace. Maybe things have been amazing for you this year. Your life, your local ministry, your participation on local and district events were incredible. I encourage you to do two things tonight. First, Thank God for the blessings that he has poured on you. Use them as a reminder of where you have come from. Secondly, remember not everyone has had the same result as you. As a local NYI I encourage you to adopt another NYI ministry and walk along side of them and help them in ministry. Continue to look outside the box together and dream big. For we serve a big God.
Paul had a past that would be haunting to say the least. Before Paul had his life changing encounter with Jesus on the Damascus road, he was Saul the persecutor of the church. The only goal that Paul had was to wipe out Christianity and he was doing a good job. Paul became what he was trying to stop and destroy. He was changed by Christ and would never be the same. The memory of his past, made Paul view his previous life as rubbish. Paul moved beyond his past and we need to do the same. There is no way for us to do great things for God while we are wrapped up in the past.
The second thing Paul points out is to “Strain toward what is ahead” Paul continues the metaphor and imagery of the race. The goal of the runner is to reach the finish line. The goal that Paul is looking toward is the completion of Christ’s work in his life. The completion of that perfect relationship he was meant to have with God. Paul was looking forward to the day when the victory over sin would be complete. Paul was straining toward the moment when everything that Christ had died to provide would be his. The finish line is found only in heaven. It is in heaven that the work of Christ is made complete.
Paul was making a commitment to no longer live chained to his past. Paul was living with a glorious future in mind. Paul was focused on the finishing of Christ’s work. We need to set our sights on the work that is to be finished. We need to get focused on the day that Jesus completes His work in us. As long as we have unsaved people in our communities our work is not complete. Let’s work together as a team. Remember we have the same owner! The same Father cheering us on from the press box. The same Savior who scouted us and forgave us. The same Spirit within. The same playbook. The same purpose. We are going to same place when life is over. So you may be asking why do we need to press on? Let me give you three reasons.
1. The work of perfection is not yet finished Paul states that he has not yet been made perfect. The issue that many have with the word perfection is that we become perfect in every way and beyond the ability of doing anything wrong. The power of the Holy Spirit does give the ability to live above the corruption of sin. The
107 108
understanding of perfection is not that we become perfect and do no wrong.
John Wesley said the following about Christian Perfection: By perfection I mean the humble, gentle, patient love of God, and our neighbor, ruling our tempers, words, and actions.
Sanctification is about making us more like Christ for the purpose of a perfected relationship with God. Paul was simply stating that his relationship with Christ was not yet perfect in that sense. The issue that Paul raises is that Jesus is not done working in us. If we are honest, we all have areas that need the perfecting love of God. We all have struggles that keep us from enjoying the perfected relationship with God. The goal is to become closer and closer to God with each passing day. The understanding is that our hope is built on the fact that being like Jesus is possible through the empowering strength of the Holy Spirit. We can be a revolution. (Video)
2. Christ has more for us Jesus did not die to just give us salvation. While salvation was the goal for all people, it is not the only goal of Christ. The power of the resurrection gives us the ability to live a redeemed life. The power of the resurrection gives us the ability to become more and more like Christ. There is no aspect of your life that the power of the resurrection cannot change. There is no problem or shortcoming that the power of the resurrection cannot solve. The truth is so amazingly simple, Christ has more for us, don’t simply settle for less.
We press on because there is more that God wants to do in us and through us. The work is not complete until either we die or Jesus returns. The promise is that Jesus will see this work through to completion. We press on because the unfinished work of Christ in our lives calls us to pursue a forward focus; a focus that is intensely set on heaven. Let’s run for the prize. (Video)
3. Pressing on helps us to overcome the past. What is behind is past and there is nothing that we can do about it. The past is water under the bridge and there is no time machine to take us back. We can do nothing about yesterday. Yesterday ended last night. Let yesterday live in the past. We waste so much time and energy looking back. Put the effort into changing today. Put the energy into being more like Jesus today. The call of God is to change, to grow and to progress in the faith. Stop looking back and start looking ahead.
Jesus is far more concerned with our future than He is with our past. The past can be forgiven and forgotten. Jesus is waiting to give us a future worth straining toward. He will give us a clean slate. (Video)
The third thing Paul talks about is a “Call to obtain” Paul stated that he had not already obtained perfection. The point of pressing on is to continually pursue becoming more like Jesus. There should be a desire within the heart of those who believe that they want to be more and more like Christ. The only way to become more like Christ is to obtain it from God.
So tonight here are some key questions we can ask ourselves about our ministries. Are we following Jesus more closely today than … • 1 year ago
108 • 1 month ago • 1 week ago • 1 day ago Are we really committed to following Christ? • Does our lifestyle show it? • Does our spiritual growth show it? • Does our obedience show it?
Are we serving Christ more faithfully? • Does our attitude reflect it? • Does our behavior reflect it? • Do our motives reflect it?
Are we living up to what has been attained? We are accountable for our relationship with God.
Many NYI’s have set goals for the year. Things like to increase more people, raise money for events, and spend more fellowship time with each other, spiritual growth.
Here is what I encourage you to do this year if you haven’t set your goals or maybe revision your existing goals for your NYI. Set a pattern, Set a purpose, Set a practice, Set a progress.
The key is doing something – Start small because all change begins with a small step. All significant changes start with the key questions. What are you and your local ministry going to do to draw closer to Christ this year? How is your devotional life, and how does it carry over into your local ministry, which in turn flows over into our district ministry? How are the fruits of the Spirit being exampled in your life, your local ministries life, in the district life? Let’s get in the game and never give up. (Video) God’s power must not be wasted and must be used to do things that glorify Him. Do not just be an action hero figure that sits on the display case. We are a people of a great and mighty King whose strength has been given to us. God’s greatness must be revealed through oneness. God’s greatness must be evident by our desires to follow His commands. Work together, love one another, and join the army of God by marching forward and pressing onward. Our enemies have been defeated so fight with confidence. Know that all great things are done by the Lord and how wonderful it is for us to be part of that victory. Victory that will one day be celebrated with Christ our Lord and Savior, King of heaven.

9. College/Career Youth Ministries
Understanding that the future of the Joplin District Church of the Nazarene depends on our young people being anchored in the church we must get them plugged in and taking an active role in the church today. Our goals for the coming months should be: 1. That each church would be in prayer and look to reach out to the college and career age people in their church and develop a class for this age group. Leaders with hearts for these young people must be willing to mentor and teach these groups. 2. That each church on the district would utilize this group in teaching roles, vacation bible school, and throughout the church to give them a responsibility and utilize their gifts. 3. Each church should encourage their people that are attending college away from the local church to get into an established ministry through their college or encourage them to start a bible study on campus. 4. The Joplin District should utilize the College and Career youth to develop and work with Empower, MAX, Teen Camp, Encounter – Fall Retreat and other district event coordinators to organize the events for the Junior and Senior High youth whenever possible. 5. The district coordinators and the NYI council should do the following: A. Aid local churches in developing these ministries. B. Pray, encourage, and coach the leaders of this ministry C. Organize meetings and training for he leaders to come together to grow this ministry. Look at existing ministries to brainstorm and build the new ministries. D.

1. SDMI CHAIRMAN
2015-2016
Building things is hard work. Take a home for instance: building plans must be established, property must be purchased and cleared, the foundation must be dug and poured, floors must be set, walls and roof erected, windows and doors installed, wiring and plumbing run, insulation applied, and then a huge amount of finish work is still to be done. All of this work takes dedicated laborers and technicians to accomplish. Building is hard work! Yet, when it’s done with dedication and care, the finished product is well worth the effort.
Like building a home, building the kingdom of God also takes the work of many laborers. Jesus is the Master Builder, and we are his construction crew. And together with him, led and empowered by the Spirit, we can build lives for eternity. Thankfully, this kind of disciple-making activity is taking place all over our district.
This year, ten churches showed outstanding numerical gains. They were Nevada +80, Neosho Casa Jaziel +72, Dogwood +72, Caney +24, Ava Highway +23, Girard Living Faith +22, Joplin Calvary +21, Buffalo +20, Nixa +19, Independence +19. Because each number represents a potential disciple, these numbers are vitally important.
Also, as a district family, we have cultivated relationships with 13,819 people that are recorded on our responsibility lists. In addition, our average weekly SDMI attendance totaled 5,746. This means that we are teaching God’s Word to 5,746 souls in our Sunday School classes and small groups every week. Congratulations, Joplin District SDMI workers!
Several of our churches are receiving SDMI Awards:

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 26- 27, 2015. 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. Mark Bane completed the evening by sharing an inspiring message. The following day, Dr. Dean Blevins, Professor of Christian Formation and Discipleship at NTS, presented three sessions on discipleship during the Convention. All three 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 first event took place on April 11, 2015, at Carthage First Church. Under the direction of Brenda Prichard, 190 ladies gathered for our District Women’s Retreat. Susie Shellenberger brought exciting messages, and Mandy Dunlap led in the worship music. It was a great day of insight and encouragement for our ladies. Next, October 5-7, 2015, the Prime Timers met together for a great retreat at the Camden Inn in Branson, Missouri. Dr. Jim Dillow was the speaker, and his sister and brother joined him to provide the special music. Fifty-two were in attendance and everyone had a wonderful time. Later, on October 9-11, 2015, Rev. Mark Bane spoke at our annual Laymen’s Retreat. John and Monita Teel led the praise and worship music. The 39 retreaters enjoyed the services and the accommodations at the Thousand Hills Golf Resort. Our year’s adult activities concluded, March 4-6, 2016, with a great Single Adult Retreat at the Stone Mountain Resort in Branson, Missouri. Timothy Mark and Rebecca Thompson spoke, and Timothy led the worship time. Sixty adults were in attendance. Many thanks are due to all who have contributed to the success of all these events!
On May 27, 2015, our children’s ministry began the year with an exciting Missionary Fun day. The chorus of around 100 children sang for the NMI convention. Then, missionaries, David and Sylvia Potter, shared a special message with the kids and all those attending the convention. Following the message, Lindsey Letsinger and her team of sponsors guided our kids as they participated in various activities. The following day, May 29, 2015, Thomas Casper and Brianna Morrison led about 26 kids during the District Kids Day Out. During the day, everyone enjoyed the ministry of the Kearce’s, their puppets, and romping on the inflatables. Next, on July 13-15, 2015, 240 kids arrived at Camp CYOKAMO for Primary Camp. Then, on July 15-18, 2015, 240 kids spent the remainder of the week in Junior Camp. Our camp directors, Melinda & James Souder, led the activities with amazing messages from Brad Hunt. Over 200 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. Emmalee Hoggatt coordinated the various quizzes on both the Kansas and Missouri side of the district. The quiz season concluded on 120 April 16, 2016, with a final quiz for the entire district at the Parson’s church. Many thanks are due to all who served the Lord by ministering love and grace to the hundreds of children on our district!
In addition to all the activities sponsored by our District SDMI, a brand new ministry tool for outreach events was unveiled at the SDMI Convention. A new trailer, outfitted with inflatables, snow cone machine, and popcorn machine was outfitted for use by churches for outreach ministry throughout the year. Since its inception, the trailer has been utilized by churches over 80 times.
SPECIAL THANKS I want to express my thanks to our District SDMI Board, our SDMI Zone Chairmen, our Secretary, Terry Marta, our Treasurers, Dustin and Kara Ledford, 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 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!

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 123 124 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.
