B. INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS
Eligibility
The board serves only the persons who are enrolled. Enrollment is open to the lay minister for a
certificate of lay ministry, the local minister, and the licensed minister for ordination as elder or deacon (Christian
education, compassionate ministry, music ministry, youth ministry, administration, or chaplaincy) who qualifies
according to the Manual (503-528.2). A letter from the applicant's pastor verifying that the applicant is licensed by
the local church and requesting that he or she be enrolled in the course of study should be sent to the board
secretary.
Courses
The four levels of directed courses are administered on two tracks, elder and deacon, by the Ministerial
Studies Board under the general supervision of Pastoral Ministries. Upon enrollment, applicants should indicate
on which track (elder or deacon) they wish to be enrolled. Those on the deacon track should also indicate the
category of their ministry (Christian education, compassionate ministry, music ministry, youth ministry,
administration, or chaplaincy ministry).
The first level is prescribed and at least six courses (modules) must be completed before the candidate is
eligible for a district license. Ministers will not be ordained without having completed their respective courses.
Modes of Study
The recommended mode of preparation for full-time Christian service is attending a Nazarene university
or liberal arts college and, if possible, the Nazarene Theological Seminary. Other modes are the Nazarene Bible
College and the Modular Course of Study. (Northwest Nazarene University and the Nazarene Bible College offer
on-line ordination credit classes utilizing the Modular Course of Study.)
The South Arkansas Extension School for Ministry of Southern Nazarene University was established in
1994 and offers module courses throughout the year across the district. Students are strongly encouraged to
enroll and meet their requirements through the extension school. Due to limited course offerings, students may
need to take courses out of sequence and/or take additional courses not offered by the extension school.
New Students
College students and others in the program should be prepared to appear for an interview as called upon
by the Ministerial Studies and/or Ministerial Credentials Boards at the time and place specified.
College Students
College students are responsible to submit to the Ministerial Studies Board evidence of academic

IV. Daily Proceedings
ASSEMBLY PROCEEDINGS
Wednesday Morning, June 18, 2014
The 62nd Annual Assembly of the South Arkansas District Church of the Nazarene convened at 8:36 A.M.
with Mark Maddux playing the piano and leading the Assembly in singing “Lord, Plant My Feet on Solid Ground”
and “Spirit of the Living God.”
Dr. Russell Branstetter welcomed the delegates to the 62nd assembly and opened with prayer. He then
read biographical information for Dr. Eugenio R. Duarte and introduced him as our presiding General
Superintendent here for the first time at a South Arkansas District Assembly. Dr. Duarte’s morning message was
about time and making the best use of it. His text was Ephesians 5:15-16. Are we good stewards of the time God
has given us? Are we asking God what He wants us to do with our time? What time is it in your life? What is
God asking you to do today? Are we committed to do what He is asking us to do? At the conclusion of his
message, he asked any of those present who wanted to recommit their time to God’s leadership to come to the
altar. Many of the assembly came to the altar as Dr. Duarte led in prayer.
After his message, Dr. Duarte called the 62nd South Arkansas District Assembly to order. He introduced
District Secretary Brady Lane who read the organization and servants of the assembly as printed in the delegate’s
handbook: statistical secretary – Brady Lane; recording secretary – Kathy Forrester; enrollment secretary –
Donna Holderfield; daily journal secretary – Kathy Forrester; introductions – Dr. Eugenio Duarte and Dr. Russell
Branstetter; pages – Shannon Dupree (head page), Kevin Atkinson and Gregory Hayes; assembly treasurer –
Robert Siegler; assembly photographer – Phil Stein; election secretary – Tim Evans. The voting area of the
Assembly was set at the first ten rows of the sanctuary and the platform. Delegates were asked to move to the
voting bar of the Assembly if they were not already seated in that area. Times for the Assembly were set for
Wednesday, June 18, from 8:30 A.M. – noon and 1:30 P.M. till adjournment and the Ordination Service from 7:00
P.M. to adjournment on Wednesday, June 18. Special orders of the day included the report of the District
Superintendent at 9:30 A.M., the Southern Nazarene University Report at 11:00 A.M., the Memoirs report prior to
adjournment in the afternoon, and the Ordination Service at 7:00 P.M. Brady Lane then made a motion to adopt
this report. Dr. Duarte called for a second to the motion and a vocal vote by the assembly. The motion was
seconded and adopted.
Brady Lane made a motion to send greetings to our retired missionaries, Terry & Jane Sanders and Mrs.
Lucille Hudson; our active missionaries, Barry & Charlie Carney & family and those in creative access areas. This
motion was seconded and adopted.
Brady Lane announced that the enrollment secretary reported 173 delegates and 2 alternates were
registered and had been verified. There were eleven churches with no registered delegates in attendance. He
then made a motion to seat the alternates. This motion was seconded and adopted.
Dr. Duarte introduced Dr. Branstetter and thanked him for his 22 years of service as superintendent of the
South Arkansas District. He expressed appreciation for the work of all district superintendents and reported that
he kept the superintendent’s reports to help him learn about the churches on the districts he visited and
assemblies he attended.
Dr. Branstetter began his report with a brief slide show of people sleeping in varied and unusual positions
and locations. He then warned that we do not need to be sleeping churches. He briefly shared highlights from
the past year listing a few ways South Arkansas District churches have missed our goals, but also noting ways
that show many of our churches are also awake and on the move for God. He named the churches that had
reached and exceeded Ten Percent giving - the “gold standard” for mission giving. He thanked Wally Beckman
and Dwight Curry for their tireless work at the District Campground, the improvements that they have helped
make, and the promotional efforts that have resulted in increased use of the camp by others including the North
Arkansas District Children’s Camp for 2015. As part of his report, Dr. Branstetter thanked the pastors and
churches who had received the “District Superintendent’s Partnership” Award for this year and presented awards
to these churches: Ashdown, Benton, Brockington Road, Camden, Collegeville, El Dorado, Forrest City,
Glenwood First, Greenwood, Hot Springs Lake Hamilton, Liberty, Little Rock Calvary, Little Rock Cornerstone,
Little Rock First, Little Rock New Hope, Little Rock Rose Hill, Little Rock Springlake, Mansfield, Nady, North Little
38
Rock Friendly Chapel, North Little Rock Grace, Perryville Immanuel, Pine Bluff Community, Sunshine, Waldron
First, and Wickes. He then highlighted other top events of the year: the District Women’s Retreat, the District
Minister’s Retreat, the 17th annual district golf tournament, camps, Regional Youth Extravaganza at Southern
Nazarene University where our senior high basketball teams took first and second place in their tournament final.
He announced those elected to serve on the NYI council for the next year and thanked Rev. Bobby Howard for
stepping into the position of SDMI Superintendent just a few weeks before the convention. He also thanked
others in leadership positions for their work on the district during the past year. Dr. Branstetter then spoke of
John’s challenge to churches that have lost their first love (Revelation 2:4 and 3:15) and Paul’s concerns as he
writes to the Roman church (Romans 13:11a). In understanding the time, we need to wake from our slumber and
follow God’s Law that is summed up in loving God and others. He referenced one South Arkansas Church, North
Little Rock Friendly Chapel, that is doing an exceptional job of loving others. Since their inception in 1972, this
demonstration of love has resulted in a 70% growth in worship attendance, 80% growth in membership, and 274
new Nazarenes since 2005. They lead the district in attendance with an average of 658 each Sunday and had
over 1,030 attend on Easter Sunday this year. Rev. Paul Holderfield was asked to share about their church. He
said they’d been awake for 44 years to opportunities to share hugs, God’s love, and whatever they could to meet
the needs of those in their community. Another church that came awake during the past year with 400% growth in
attendance is North Little Rock Grace under the leadership of Rev. Roy Edwards. Rev. Edwards reported that
their church needed a resurrection, not a revival. Opening their doors to allow a new Hispanic church to use their
building for services led to the start of a food pantry by the Hispanic congregation that is now a cooperative effort
for both congregations and is ministering to the needs of the community. Before anyone receives food
assistance, they must attend a service on Thursday night. At first, this service was held in the fellowship hall, but
it has exploded in attendance, is now meeting in the sanctuary, and the church is awake to many opportunities to
serve. Dr. Branstetter then asked Rev. Bobby Howard of Little Rock First to share how his church used the
Easter Lenton season to raise funds for a new neighborhood sign needed by the Leawood neighborhood as a way
to reach out to those around their church. Dr. Branstetter also recognized churches (Brockington Road, Little
Rock New Hope, Hot Springs First, North Little Rock Friendly Chapel and North Little Rock Grace that are leading
the way with double digit increases in new Nazarenes and those that have had significant gains in either corporate
worship, SDMI ministry or both: Bell’s Chapel, Collegeville, Forrest City, Liberacion Y Poder, Little Rock Calvary,
Little Rock Good Samaritan, Little Rock New Hope, North Little Rock Jehovah Jireh, Perryville Immanuel, Pine
Bluff Community, Waldron Cristo Vive, and Waldron First. He also thanked the Hispanic congregations for being
awake and aware of the needs around them as they reach out to this growing segment of the Arkansas
population. We must take every opportunity to reach out to those around us to tell them about Jesus. The
number of new Nazarenes reported this past year was very low on our District. Our challenge for this next year:
wake up to opportunities around us, pray, and do better to lead others to Christ. As Wesley preached, we have
NOTHING TO DO BUT WIN SOULS!
Dr. Branstetter received a standing ovation at the conclusion of his report. Dr. Duarte thanked Dr.
Branstetter for his report and then asked for a motion and a second to receive this report. The motion was made,
seconded and adopted by the assembly. Brady Lane then asked for Mrs. Branstetter to be escorted to the
platform. He thanked both Dr. & Mrs. Branstetter for all they do for South Arkansas and presented a lovely
bouquet of flowers and a monetary gift to them. Gail thanked the district for all their prayers, especially during the
past three years while she’s had four hip surgeries.
Dr. Duarte then asked for district secretary Brady Lane to read the report of the District Ministerial
Credentials Board on pages 53-54 of the delegate handbooks. After reading this report, Brady Lane made a
motion to adopt the report as read. Dr. Duarte called for a second to the motion, and then asked for a show of
hands from the delegates to adopt the report. The motion was adopted.
Dr. Duarte asked district secretary Brady Lane to read page 50 in the delegate handbook for the report of
the District Committee on Nominations. Dr. Duarte asked for a second to the motion and then a show of hands
from the delegates to adopt the report. The motion was seconded and adopted.
Dr. Duarte asked for district secretary Brady Lane to call a board of tellers to come forward for Ballot No.
1 which had nominees for District Advisory Board members, a Trustee to SNU, and the District Director of
Evangelism. Brady Lane read the names of Board of Tellers No. 1 as they came forward. After Dr. Duarte prayed
39
for this election, he asked for the registered delegates to stand as the tellers distributed the ballots. When all
ballots had been cast, the tellers collected the ballots and Dr. Duarte closed this ballot. Board of Tellers No. 1
was dismissed to tally the results.
Dr. Duarte then asked Brady Lane to read the names of those on Board of Tellers No. 2. These tellers
distributed ballot No. 2 which was for elder & laity positions for the District Assembly Finance Committee. After
the ballots were distributed, Dr. Duarte reminded the delegates to vote for only nine names on each portion of the
ballot. More than nine would disqualify their ballot. Tellers then collected the completed ballots. Dr. Duarte
closed the ballot and dismissed Board of Tellers No. 2 to tally the results.
Dr. Duarte then called for a video from the Church of the Nazarene Foundation to be played. The
message: a good way to leave a lasting legacy is with a charitable gift to this foundation.
Dr. Branstetter introduced pastors and staff new to the South Arkansas District since the last assembly:
Pastor Noel & Shuree George and Youth Pastor Luke Letsinger of Brockington Road, Lee Tyra of Danville, Family
Pastor Jay & Carol Vestal of Hot Springs First, Family Pastor Kevin & Cheryl Atkinson of Little Rock Calvary,
Pastor Bobby & Amy Howard of Little Rock First, Pastor Phil & Nancy Hull of Sunshine Church of the Nazarene,
and Nathan and Whitney Otte as new youth leaders at Waldron First. Other guests of the assembly were Dr.
Loren Gresham & Dr. Terry Toler of SNU. He asked anyone attending the assembly for the first time to stand.
Several did so and were welcomed.
Dr. Duarte asked Dr. Gresham to give his report from Southern Nazarene University. He introduced two
people present at the assembly that are SNU graduates and available to answer questions about SNU - Daniel
Pillion, serving at Greenbrier Church of the Nazarene, and Jon Newlin, newly elected District NYI President and
pastor of the Wickes Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Gresham showed slides and shared about many of the strong
programs at SNU that help prepare students to serve successfully in many occupations. SNU is doing well in
preparing students for their future, but they need our help to encourage our young people to attend SNU and to
continue giving financially to support our regional Nazarene university. Also for pastors, SNU has a new resource
launched this past year, the Resource Center for Pastoral Leadership that is under the direction of Dr. Stan Toler.
Dr. Duarte thanked Dr. Gresham for his report and announced that Dr. Gresham was recently elected to
the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame and is the longest serving president of an Oklahoma University and
of a Nazarene University.
Dr. Duarte asked for pastor reports to begin. District Secretary Brady Lane called for reports to start with
two pastors who had their annual reports in first, James Kirkland of El Dorado and Paul Holderfield of North Little
Rock Friendly Chapel. Brady Lane then asked pastors to come to the front and be ready to give their report as we
progressed alphabetically through the churches. Reports continued with Patrick Ward of Ashdown First, Sandi
Ferguson of Bells Chapel, Brady Lane of Benton, Noel George of Brockington Road, Carolyn Benesh of Camden
Living Hope, Dennis Yarberry of Collegeville, and Lee Tyra of Danville Grace Chapel.

40
Dr. Duarte then asked for a video from Nazarene Theological Seminary to be played that featured Carla
Sunberg, the new NTS president. Although she was unable to be present at the assembly, he congratulated
Carla on her new position and area of ministry. In the video, Carla encouraged everyone to visit the NTS website
and see what the seminary has for both laymen and pastors. Many inspirational chapel services can be viewed
online on their website.
Dr. Branstetter invited all pastors, all full time associate pastors, and members of the District Advisory
Board to attend the SNU luncheon to be held in the church gymnasium at noon.
Dr. Duarte dismissed the assembly and asked all delegates to return by 1:20 p.m. for the afternoon
session.
Wednesday Afternoon, June 18, 2014
The 62nd Annual Assembly of the South Arkansas District Church of the Nazarene reconvened at 1:35
P.M. with Mark Maddux playing the guitar and leading the assembly in singing “Blessed Be Your Name” and
“You’re All I Want.” Dr. Branstetter then opened the afternoon session with prayer as several came to the altar.
Dr. Duarte asked the delegates to refer to two pages in their packets that had information on seven
resolutions to the Manual that were approved at the 2013 General Assembly. Considering each resolution
separately, he asked the delegates to read the resolution printed with the original wording in brackets and the new
wording underlined. After asking for and answering any questions on the resolution, a vote was then taken by a
show of hands to show acceptance or non-acceptance of the resolution. Each resolution was accepted.
Dr. Duarte then called for the “stories” through pastor’s reports to continue. He reminded pastor’s to keep
their reports to two minutes. Brady Lane asked for pastors from churches listed alphabetically from DeQueen
through Liberty to come to the front and be ready to present their report. Reports continued with Billy Sullivan of
DeQueen, Lynn Hickman of Forrest City, Warren Foxworthy of Glenwood First, Faviola Lopez of Glenwood
Hispanic, Michael Roach of Greenwood, Gerald M. Palmer of Hope First and Vilma Espinoza of Hope Liberacion
Y Poder. The submitted reports from Ken Carney of Hot Springs First and Rick Funderburk of Hot Springs Lake
Hamilton were received in the absence of these pastors at the assembly. Reports continued with Francisco Perez
of Hot Springs Hispanic, Bill Apple of Liberty, Rodney Shanner of Little Rock Calvary, Tim Evans of Little Rock
Cornerstone, Bobby Howard of Little Rock First, Oscar Perez of Little Rock Good Samaritan, George Yarberry of
Little Rock New Hope, Steve Comeans of Little Rock Rose Hill, Phil Stein of Little Rock Springlake, and lay pastor
Javier Martinez of Little Rock Tabernacle of Praise.
Dr. Duarte asked for the district treasurer to be ready to present his report at the conclusion of a video clip
that showed one way funds given through the World Evangelism Fund has helped change part of Africa through
water wells.
District Treasurer Robert Siegler gave the treasurer’s report as delegates were asked to review this report
in their delegate handbooks. Mr. Siegler gave a summarized report and the delegates were given the opportunity
to ask any questions. A motion was then made and seconded to adopt this report. Motion adopted. Dr. Duarte
asked the delegates to review the report of the District Advisory Board on page 51 in their delegate handbooks. A
motion was made and seconded to adopt this report. Motion adopted. District Secretary Brady Lane announced
that a letter dated June 12, 2014 had been received from the Board of General Superintendents giving their
approval for Special Denomination Service in another denomination for Olin Ray Cromer, George Crumbly and
Byron Sullivan. This portion of the report will be edited in the journal to reflect this approval.
Delegates were asked to review the report from the district Ministerial Studies Board on page 52 in their
delegate handbooks. With no questions from the delegation regarding this report, a motion was made and
seconded to adopt this report. Motion adopted. Delegates were asked to look at pages 63-64 in their delegate
handbooks for the accountant’s review report. A motion was made and seconded to adopt this report. Motion

was also seconded and adopted.
41
The report from lay pastor Bobby McMullen of Malvern and pastor Pam Curry of Mansfield were
received in the absence of these pastors. Lay Pastor Ben White reported from McGehee. Dr. Branstetter took a
moment to thank all the lay pastors for their hard work in pastoring several churches on the district. Reports
continued with Ken Goodwin of Mena, Roy Edwards of North Little Rock Grace, Rubidia Flores of North Little
Rock Jehovah Jireh, Paul Kinsey of North Little Rock Rose City, LaSharette Hodges of Pine Bluff Community, Phil
Hull of Sunshine, John Hobson of Texarkana Cathedral Heights, Victor Mendez of Waldron Cristo Vive, Marvin
Frederick of Waldron First, and Jon Newlin of Wickes. The reports from Ken Mitchell of Nady, Gerald Alexander
of Perryville Immanuel, lay pastor Steve Bradley of Pleasant Grove, co-pastors Roger & Glenda Gragg of Prescott
First, Mel Vail of Twin Rivers, and supply pastor Audwin Sprouse of West Helena were accepted in their absence.
Dr. Duarte thanked all the pastors again for their reports. He then called for the Memoirs Report. Noel
George read from Jeremiah 17:7-8 and Isaiah 62:4 and led the assembly in prayer. While the song “I Can Only
Imagine“ was played, names of Nazarene church members who had gone on to their eternal reward during the
past year were shown on the screen. Rev. George closed the Memoirs Service in prayer.
Dr. Branstetter thanked Dr. Duarte for his challenging message in the morning that gave us all something
to think about. The minister’s choir of ordained elders and licensed ministers was asked to meet in the choir loft at
6:30 PM to rehearse for the evening’s ordination service. The ordinands were asked to meet with Dr. Duarte
immediately after adjournment of the afternoon session. Dr. Branstetter closed in prayer and included special
prayer for Rev. Rick Funderburk who had been admitted to the hospital in Hot Springs during the afternoon. The
afternoon session adjourned at 4:12 PM.
Wednesday Evening, June 18, 2014
The evening service started at 7:05 P.M. with Jason Tompkins leading the Assembly in joyfully singing
“How Great Is Our God” accompanied by the Brockington Road Praise Band. District Superintendent Dr. Russell
Branstetter welcomed everyone to the evening service of the Assembly and opened the service in prayer.
Dr. Branstetter read the requirements for the General Superintendent’s Growth Award and reminded
everyone that, due to the high requirements for this award, there is not a recipient every year. This year he was
happy to present this award to Rev. Roy Edwards and North Little Rock Grace.
Dr. Russell Branstetter asked Rev. Wally Beckman to tell us what has been happening this past year at
the campground. Wally began by sharing how much the camp had been used during the past year. A total of 918
campers used the facility. This included 403 of our summer campers plus 515 other overnight or day campers.
Two work days had also been held with a lot of progress made. He showed photos of what had been
accomplished this past year and then showed photos of areas that they would like to work on this year. October
11, 2015 will be the 30th anniversary of Heath Valley Campgrounds. A celebration is being planned for that day
that will include free meals, a tour of the buildings and grounds, and tournaments of horse shoes and other
games. Photos of the camp taken during the past 30 years are needed for this event. If you have any, please
contact Wally Beckman or Susie White. Dr. Branstetter thanked Dwight Curry and Wally Beckman for all their
hard work to improve the District Campground and announced that the offering tonight would go toward camp
improvements. He also called everyone’s attention to the bright green pledge cards in the bulletin that churches
and individuals were encouraged to complete and turn in during the offering. While the ushers took the offering
and pledges for this year’s campground offering, the Brockington Road Praise Band played “God With Us” by
Mercy Me.
Dr. Duarte spoke briefly about the importance of the focus of the evening and God’s call to ministry. No
matter who we are or what our age, God may still call us.
As Jason Tompkins led the assembly in singing “Holiness Unto the Lord,” District Secretary Brady Lane
led the ordinands, Kevin Nicholas Atkinson, Gregory Travis Hayes, and Jose Rafael Pineda Morales and their
spouses, Cheryl Atkinson, Cynthia Hayes, and Rubidia Flores, to the front of the sanctuary. Rev. Lane then read
the biographies of each of the ordinands and presented the ordinands to General Superintendent Dr. Eugenio R.
Duarte who received them. Dr. Duarte asked the congregation to affirm these ordinands. Dr. Duarte then asked
the ordinands some questions regarding their beliefs and calling to the ministry.
Rev. Noel George read Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-16. Jason Tompkins led the congregation in singing “How
Marvelous, How Wonderful.”
42
Rev. Bobby Howard read the Theology of Ordination from Manual paragraph 502.1-502.6.
Dr. Branstetter asked the assembly to stand as he led them in reading The Apostles’ Creed and led in prayer.
Dr. Branstetter announced the official retirement of Rev. Richard L. Funderburk from full-time ministry. He
also announced that Rev. Funderburk was unable to be present as he was currently hospitalized with a bad leg
infection caused by his diabetes. He then led the congregation in prayer for Rev. Rick & Susan Funderburk.
Dr. Branstetter read the names of the newly licensed ministers: Javier Joel Martinez, Cory Rogers, Wayne
Spencer and Ambrocio Vences. These newly licensed ministers were asked to stand as Dr. Branstetter read the
ministerial charge. They were then asked to respond to this charge which they did affirmatively. He then prayed
for these newly licensed ministers and asked God to anoint their work.
Jason Tompkins led the ministers’ choir in triumphantly singing “In Christ Alone” medley. Judi Sayes then
sang “It’s Not In Vain,” a wonderful song of encouragement to keep on pressing on when we are tired or
discouraged, because it’s not in vain!
Dr. Eugenio Duarte spoke on “Following God’s Instructions” from Exodus 25:8-9. God knows exactly
what we need when we need it and He knows how to provide for us. It always pays to follow His instructions.
God is faithful and He rewards our obedience. When God told Noah to build the ark with acacia wood, it wasn’t
because it was the best wood for the job, but because it was what was available and plentiful in the area. He
urged and encouraged the new ordinands to seek and follow God’s instructions and use what God makes
available to them.
At the conclusion of his message, Dr. Duarte asked the elders in the congregation and those in the choir
area to come to the platform. The ordinands and their spouses then joined them on the platform and knelt at the
altars. Dr. Duarte ordained Gregory Travis Hayes as an elder in the Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Steve
Comeans prayed for Greg and Cynthia. Dr. Duarte then ordained Kevin Nicholas Atkinson as an elder in the
Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Tim Bullington prayed for Kevin & Cheryl. Dr. Duarte then ordained Jose Rafael
Pineda Morales as an elder in the Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Roy Edwards prayed for Jose & Rubidia.
Before Dr. Duarte presented certificates of ordination to each ordinand, he asked Rev. Brady Lane to read
the certificate of ordination for the congregation to hear. Dr. Duarte then reminded the ordinands that they had
concurred with certain statements in their ordination application agreeing that, if for any reason they did not stay
true to the requirements for being an elder in the Church of the Nazarene, they would surrender their ordination
certificates. He urged them to remain true.
Dr. Terry Toler, on behalf of Dr. Loren Gresham and SNU, then presented a bust of John Wesley to each
of the ordinands.
Dr. Branstetter invited the congregation to a reception in the Fellowship Hall. He then asked the
congregation to remain in place until the ordinands, the newly licensed ministers, and all of the other elders and
licensed ministers had exited the sanctuary. While these were leaving, the Brockington Road Praise Band played
“A Charge to Keep I Have.”
The service and the 62nd South Arkansas District Assembly ended at 8:55 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,

V. Reports
A. DISTRICT OFFICERS
1. District Superintendent
Dr. Duarte, delegates and friends of this 62nd Assembly of the South Arkansas District:
It is with a sense of deep gratitude, affection and privilege that I bring to you my 22nd report as
superintendent of the South Arkansas Family of churches. Dear brothers and sisters in the family of God, you are
my chief source of joy and blessing in life and ministry. Your participation in advancing the Kingdom of God truly
is a co-labor in love and shared vision.
Before I begin my report, I would like for you to view the following video presentation. It may be how
some of you are feeling right now.
[MONTAGE OF SLEEPING CHILDREN AND ADULT PICTURES]
In contrast to what you have just seen, Paul challenges Christians to wake up spiritually. On a protected
part of my book shelf is an inexpensively bound version of a King James Bible given to me at my baptism as a
teen. The pages have yellowed. They are cracked and ragged around the edges and the binding is all but
completely broken. Many verses are underlined with a red ball point pen, and that too is fading. What is not
fading is the affection I have for the verses underlined. They represent what stood out to my new Christian heart
in those first days and weeks following my new birth. One verse stands out to me. It is Ephesians 5:14 which
reads in part, “…awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” One of my
first sermons as a “boy preacher” was taken from that text. My sermon was scratched on butcher paper that I
appropriated from the meat counter at the little corner grocery store where I worked to pay for my tuition at Tulsa
University. I don’t have the sermon today. Likely because it wasn’t really very good and it was long (or so I have
been told by Bud Lauhon who is still in my home church in Tulsa and a fellow member of the SNU Board of
Trustees). Bud said, “It was an hour on Wednesday night.” I replied, “No, it wasn’t more than 55 minutes!" Well,
what it lacked in strength, maybe it did make up in length. But, I had also passed from the darkness of my life
without Christ into a beautiful world of light and life and truth! While this verse clearly speaks to the lost in our
world; there are some remarkable passages that refer to the clear danger of a “slumbering or sleepy” church!
Romans 13: 11- 12 reads: “And do this, knowing the time, it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our
salvation is nearer than when we first believed…. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast
off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”
Before opening the scripture’s challenge, let’s take a minute to review the labor of the past year. We
received 157 New Nazarenes out of 589 conversions and 99 baptisms this past year. The net gain in membership
is 10 and we stand now at 6,374 members. SDMI attendance gained 34 to an average of 2,507. Corporate
Worship attendance gained 43 to stand at 3,475. After a record breaking year for total monies raised in 2007-08,
we are slowly making our way back from the recession raising $5,378,853 for all purposes. This represents a
3.4% gain of $177,521 over the previous year. Fund giving for World Evangelism reached $261,175 or 98.84%%
of the mission need. $92,980 was given to Southern Nazarene University representing 85.74% of the need.
$95,002 was shared with Pensions and Benefits or 87.61% of the allocation, and $282,230 was given to the
District Fund which is 84.87% of the budget. This is the first time in 3 years that we have not exceeded 100% for
World Evangelism and the first time in almost a decade that we have significantly fallen below 90% of the
allocations for the other funds. Let me remind you of our District NMI’s “SOAR SIX” award for those churches
going to 6% for World Evangelism. Let’s recognize again those churches that reached and exceeded Ten
Percent giving which is still the “gold standard” for missions giving: McGehee – 10.08%, Greenwood – 10.09%,
Collegeville – 10.09%, LR Springlake – 10.16%, DeQueen – 10.40%, Mena – 10.61%, Camden Living Hope –
10.84%, Nady – 11.30%, NLR Jehovah Jireh – 14.08%, Brockington Road – 17.31%, Hot Springs Hispanic –
20.12%, NLR Grace – 22.66%, Texarkana Cathedral Heights – 29.69%, and Perryville Immanuel – 36.46%!
Words of gratitude are hardly adequate to express how I feel toward Rev. Wally Beckman and Dwight
Curry for their visionary, tireless, and energetic labor to make Heath Valley Campground an excellent facility for
camping, retreats, and family events. Facilities are well maintained, upgraded, expanded and beautified in an
ongoing effort to maximize campground usage and reach self-supporting status. The addition of the North
44
Arkansas District Children’s Camp in 2015 is a welcome addition to the camp’s usage. Thank you, Wally, for
your work over the past two years with North Arkansas leaders to bring this about! The campground will celebrate
its 30th anniversary this fall with entertainment, food and recreational events. You will be receiving specific
information in the days ahead. Thank you for your generosity these past two years and again this new year in
giving continued funds for capital improvements! We announced the churches who received the “District
Superintendent’s Partnership” Award. I would like to present the award to the pastors today.
[WALLY AND THE USHERS PASS OUT THE AWARDS].
District Women’s Ministries under the fun-filled and capable leadership of Donna Holderfield hosted 200
women this past year. The District Minister’s Retreat continues to draw over 100 of our district servants to
Branson each year. What a joy to have The Toler Brothers, Dr. Jim Diehl these past two years, and Dr. Terry
Toler always wonderfully representing our university! The 17th annual District Golf Tournament again hosted
almost 100 golfers from across our district, and Youth Extravaganza at SNU hosted over 180 of our district’s youth
– 86 from Friendly Chapel alone attended! Congratulations, Brittany Jenkins, on your performance at “The Show
Finals,” and congratulations to all of our teens and sponsors who participated and to our Senior High Basketball
Teams which took first and second in their tournament final! The District Youth NYI Council elected Rev. Jon
Newlin, Rev. Kevin Atkinson and Donna Holderfield to lead our council this year. Thank you, Rev. Bobby Howard,
for accepting the leadership of our District SDMI Ministry this new assembly year! I believe that you will do well
and lead with distinction and effectiveness.
I continue to enjoy the warm camaraderie as well invaluable counsel from the District Advisory Board.
Thank you, Charles Cummings, Don Henderson, Donna Holderfield, and Sherry Marston - our lay members. In
addition, I serve with wonderful ministers: Wally Beckman, Ken Carney, Dan Casey, and Tim Evans. Each of you
brings unique insight and a broad range of experience to our discussions. God has blessed our district with wise
and godly leaders and I am grateful.
While as a young convert and preacher, I had no difficulty understanding the “sleep” of those who had
never met Christ in a life-transforming experience. I was more quickly puzzled as a young pastor at how easily
the people of God could fall into the “slumber” of apathy concerning their own spiritual lives and the things of God.
John in Revelation records the words of Jesus to one church, “Yet I hold this against you; you have forsaken your
first love.” (Rev. 2: 4). Our Lord was speaking of the “quality” of their love for Him at the beginning of their
spiritual journey and how they had somehow left it behind them. Jesus’ words to Laodicea in Rev. 3:15 speaks to
similar decline and challenges the quality of their deeds in sharp terms when He declares: “I know your deeds,
that you are neither cold nor hot…! So because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor cold – I will spit you out of
my mouth!” Words of “alarm” appear in Paul’s concerns as he writes to the Roman church: “And do this,
understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber!” (Ro. 13: 11a). As
you read the context, Paul gives us clear reasoning behind his call to awaken. In the verses preceding, he warns
of avoiding falling into sin, but much more than that, he writes of our tremendous debt of love and how God’s Law
is totally summed up in loving God and others. “Let no debt remain outstanding except the debt to love one
another, for he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law….Love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no
harm to its neighbor …. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” (Verses 8-10) All of our churches are “lovely”
churches and reach out to one another in loving ways and to others as opportunity arises, but ONE Church on our
district has made this their ONE mission to love everyone in every way, on every day, in a powerful way. It is
evidenced by their growth since their inception in 1972 and in this past decade. This church has experienced
70% growth in worship attendance, 80% growth in membership, and received 274 New Nazarenes since 2005!
They lead the district again in attendance with an average of 658 each Sunday! They exceeded 1,030 on Easter
Sunday! Brother Paul, share with us the one thing that makes Friendly Chapel different and so powerfully used of
God in North Little Rock.
[BROTHER PAUL HOLDERFIELD SHARES WITH THE ASSEMBLY]
Friendly Chapel is awake and well in the power of God’s life-changing love! Another church came awake
in this past decade in a similar but unique way. They have experienced almost 400% growth in corporate worship
attendance growing from 33 discouraged people in 2007 to 150 this past year! They have received 17 New
Nazarenes in this year alone and are experiencing a “resurrection” of life and purpose. They have awakened and
have taken seriously Paul’s words in the verses following that I did not read: they are helping a sin-broken and
45
poor community on the other side of North Little Rock to “put aside the deeds of darkness, {and learn to}
behave decently, as in the daytime …. [and] rather clothe [themselves] with the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Verses 12,
14). Brother Roy Edwards, how did this transformation come about? They were “awake” to the possibilities and
took advantage of what began as a very limited ministry.
[PASTOR EDWARDS SHARES]
Paul’s admonition encourages us to be “awake” and “alert” to the needs of our “neighbors”. We read,
“…whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this one rule: ‘Love your neighbor as
yourself’. Love does no harm to its neighbor.” (Verses 9-10a) One church and pastor fulfilled this command in a
creative and literal way in its neighborhood! Be “awake and alert” to opportunities to see things differently and
meet a need in a unique and effective way. Pastor Bobby, tell us about Little Rock First Church’s special outreach
during Lent.
[PASTOR BOBBY HOWARD SHARES]
No deed in His Name should be overlooked. No doubt, creative and God anointed ministries are
impacting those around you in your local church. Brockington Road, Little Rock New Hope and Hot Springs First
(in addition to North Little Rock Friendly Chapel and Grace) are also leading the way with “double digit” increases
in New Nazarenes. Bell’s Chapel, Collegeville, Forrest City, Liberacion Y Poder, Little Rock Calvary, Little Rock
Good Samaritan, Little Rock New Hope, North Little Rock Jehovah Jireh, Perryville Immanuel, Pine Bluff
Community, Waldron Cristo Vive, and Waldron First, are also leading the way in significant gains in either
corporate worship, SDMI ministry or both!
I would that we would not become “sleepy” with regard to our Hispanic brothers and sisters. Dr. Jerry
Porter, General Superintendent, shared a very thought provoking message a couple of years ago at our annual
conference. He reminded us and I remind us of what the Bible has to say about “aliens” or “strangers” in the land
where the children of Israel was promised. Moses reminded them, “Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for
YOU were aliens in Egypt. Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. If you do and they cry out to me, I will
certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused . . .” (Exodus 22: 21-22). This is repeated again! In
Deuteronomy 10: 18: “[God] defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving him
food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.” The New
Testament writer James reminds again that really pure religion is to care for the widows and orphans. Paul
encourages us to be hospitable to “strangers” – those we do not know who come to us! Our Hispanic churches
and their pastors are yet struggling to lift up Christ and hope to their communities. These are now our
communities. These are now our “neighbors”! Pastors: Your faithful encouragement, fellowship, and
appreciation of these our brethren has never been more needed and our district’s support of Rev. Oscar Perez,
our Hispanic Coordinator, is strong and alive. Do not grow drowsy in your prayerful support of our Hispanic
churches!
Finally, my brothers and sisters, “awake” from the sleep that apparently is overcoming some when it
comes to winning souls. As Wesley preached, we have NOTHING TO DO BUT WIN SOULS! Can we not pray
that God will make us aware of opportunities all around us to reach some ONE for Christ! Is it not God’s will to
add ONE new Nazarene to the local church this next year!? I like what Pastor Noel George asks of his people in
a kindly, but accountable way: Have you spoken to someone about Jesus this week? “THE HOUR HAS COME
FOR YOU TO WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER, BECAUSE YOUR SALVATION IS NEARER NOW THAN
WHEN YOU FIRST BELIEVED. THE NIGHT IS NEARLY OVER, THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE SO LET US …
PUT ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT.” (Romans 13: 11-12).

2. District NMI President
June 17, 2014
Dr. and Mrs. Branstetter, Missionary Guests Joel and Sara Mullen, District NMI Council, Pastors, Local
NMI Presidents, delegates and friends of this 62nd Convention of the South Arkansas District NMI, I am honored
to be bringing my third District NMI President’s Report.
Thank you Brady Marston and District NMI Council. We have had a good day today. It is good to laugh
together and be moved for the cause of missions together. I am thankful for my district family. I grew up on this
district and remember coming to district assembly year after year. As a teenager, I was impacted by many
wonderful people. Some of you are here today…others are now a part of that “great cloud of witnesses.” Impact
and influence have greater value than we realize. A simple smile. A short word of encouragement. An “I believe
in you.” I grew up in this community of faith – the South Arkansas District. I grew up being challenged and
encouraged at District Assembly in this very sanctuary. It was here that I learned to love missions. I loved
hearing the stories of God moving around the world. As a teenager, just a mere ten…fifteen…never mind how
many years ago…I left thinking, no, KNOWING, that God can do anything. We serve that same God today. God
is moving around the world, but God is also moving in our midst. Will you, along with me, vow to listen as the
Holy Spirit guides?
The theme for today, “Extreme Makeover: NMI Edition,” came about as I was listening one day. I was
praying about this day…about the impact…about the call of God on each of our lives. I knew that I would have
opportunity to share what God had done in missions through our churches this year. As you have faithfully given
to the World Evangelism Fund and other mission emphases, God has moved. This is your report. I am blessed
to stand before you and tell you what God has done through you.
37 churches sent in their NMI Report. All 37 churches reported praying for missions. Our prayers move
the heart of God to encourage and lift our missionaries to continue in the work. Every missionary I have ever
heard speak confirms that prayer makes a difference. Thank you for praying for us. We feel your prayers. Many
of them will share a particular instance where they felt God move and knew it was in response to the prayers of
the faithful back home.
41 churches gave $261,175 to the World Evangelism Fund. Thirty-two of these met or exceeded their
goal of giving 5.5% to the cause of missions. Twelve churches received the SOAR Six Award for going above
and beyond by giving at least 6% of their total reported income to the World Evangelism Fund. These churches,
recognized earlier today, are: Bell’s Chapel, Benton First, Camden Living Hope Community, Collegeville, El
Dorado, Greenwood, Little Rock Springlake, Mena First, North Little Rock Jehovah Jireh, Perryville Immanuel,
Waldron First, and Wickes First. As a district, we are currently at 98.841% of our goal for World Evangelism
Fund. Entering convention, we are a little over $3,300 from our goal. (by the close of NMI Convention 2014, we
had money and pledges equal to the amount necessary to make us a World Evangelism District – thank you,
South Arkansas, for your faithful giving to missions).
38 Churches gave Alabaster Offerings totaling $26,675.67.
26 Churches gave $3,363.23 to World Mission Broadcast. Look for creative ways to give to this vital
ministry which helps the Church of the Nazarene reach across borders and barriers to share the gospel of Jesus
Christ. For an average of $4 per minute of airtime, this is a really good investment opportunity.
10 churches supported the Jesus Film with $7,995.00. This amazing ministry continues to find creative
ways to get the message to those who have never heard.
26 churches gave $18,574 for Child Sponsorship through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries.
22 Churches gave $4,038.68 through VBS Offerings for Kids Reaching Kids.
This year, we sent a team to Pinar del Rio, Cuba, to help in the construction of a 600 seat sanctuary. God
is moving in Cuba. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this team and sending me to work alongside such a
great group of South Arkansas team members as well as the locals. Please continue to pray for this work.
It has been a good year for South Arkansas NMI. I believe 2014-15 will be even better. I hope you have
been challenged to participate in every mission emphases. Encourage your churches. Teach your children and
youth about missions. I hope to see many of you at the Fall Festival of Missions on August 16. This second
annual event will inspire you as we focus a little more in depth on each area of missions. It is a very relaxed day
as the council shares and then we do an “idea swap” which will give you creative ways to teach missions in your
47
local church. It is for everyone who wants to know more about missions. I sat with our Hispanic coordinator,
Oscar Perez, about three weeks ago as he asked me how to get his churches more involved in NMI. He and I left
that meeting very excited about the possibilities of these churches becoming more involved in the district NMI
program.
As you leave today, pick up one of these cards. On it is a small mirror. The card reads as follows:
Extreme Makeover: NMI Edition
It all starts with me…surrendering to His purpose and reflecting His love to my area of
influence and the world...
Some are called to GO...If God calls, I will go...
Some are called to SEND…
As God provides resources, I will faithfully give to send others to work in the field…
Some are called to GIVE…As God provides resources, I will give to the work of missions….
All are called to PRAY...as God brings the work of missions to mind, I will faithfully pray for
our missionaries & those impacted by their ministry.
I know that the SEND and GIVE sound similar, but I believe that they are very different. As I was
preparing for today, I believe that there are some who have the resources, but not the time to participate in a Work
and Witness trip such as Commission Unto Mexico. I also know that there are some who have the time, but not
the resources. I want us, as a district, to connect those people. I think there are some who can send those who
are willing to go.
I want to share the story that I heard years ago, that inspired the thought process behind today:
Author Robert Fulghum, in his book “It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It,” tells this story of one of his
professors, a wise man whose name was Alexander Papaderos.
At the last session on the last morning of a two-week seminar on Greek culture, Dr. Papaderos turned
and made the ritual gesture—“Are there any questions?”
Quiet quilted the room. These two weeks had generated enough questions for a lifetime, but for now,
there was only silence.
“No questions?” Papaderos swept the room with his eyes.
So, I asked. “Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”
The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go.
Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I
was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.
“I will answer your question.”
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round
mirror, about the size of a quarter. And he went something like this.
“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day,
on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place. “I tried
to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one. And
by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that
I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices and dark
closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.
“I kept the little mirror, and as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and
continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game
but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of the
light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will only shine in many dark places if I reflect it.
“I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have
I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some
things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of
life.”
And then he took his small mirror and, holding it carefully, caught the bright rays of daylight streaming
through the window and reflected them on my face and onto my hands folded on the desk.

South Arkansas NMI…will you join with me in making 2014-15 a banner year? Not for the sake of a good
report next year, but for the sake of missions? For the sake of those who have not yet heard? We will be
celebrating 100 years of NMI this year. Be thinking of your project. Watch the Viewpoint for more information on
this and other important areas of missions focus.
God is calling us to reflect His love in dark places…around the world and across the street. Will you allow
the Holy Spirit to guide you to do the work of missions?
In the Sermon on the Mount, after Jesus has shared the Beatitudes, He says the following in Matthew
5:13-16:
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no
longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the
world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your
light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Shine, South Arkansas NMI, shine! Reflect God’s love. Be salt and light to the glory of God the Father, by the
power of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

3. District Sunday School & Discipleship Ministries Chairperson
June 17, 2014
It is my privilege to bring my first report as your Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries Chairman. I
want to thank your District SDMI council for their hard work throughout the year. They are the band that makes
the music, I am only the guy up front.
In 1968 a century old tradition in Yosemite National Park ended. For decades, each summer evening a
roaring bonfire was built 3,200 feet above the valley floor on the edge of Glacier Point. Hundreds of spectators
would gather below at Curry Village and at 9 p.m. the cliff was illuminated as volunteers pushed the glowing
embers over the edge forming a waterfall of fire.
This “firefall” began inadvertently in 1872 by James McCauley, the owner of the Glacier Point Mountain
House Hotel. Each evening, McCauley built a campfire at the edge of Glacier Point to entertain his guests and
when the festivities were over, he would kick the embers over the cliff. Eventually, the falling embers were noticed
by visitors in Yosemite Valley who soon requested to see the Firefall. Sensing an opportunity, McCauley’s sons
began asking for donations from visitors who were entertained by bigger campfires and more dramatic Firefalls.
50
For the better part of the next century, the Firefall went through four life cycles. It seems that each time
an opportunity was taken, an obstacle was placed in the path of its progress.
• The first opportunity was with McCauley. The obstacle came when he was evicted from the park in
1897.
• The next opportunity began soon after when the owner of the Yosemite Valley Hotel reinstated the
Firefall for special occasions. The next obstacle came when the National Park Service banned the
Firefall in 1913.
• That decision was overturned in 1917 but World War 2 temporarily halted the tradition.
• The Firefall returned ten years after the war but in 1968 the director of the National Park Service
decided to end the Firefall once and for all stating that it was an unnatural spectacle more appropriate
for Disneyland than a national park. The director also argued that the Firefall attracted huge crowds
that damaged the local meadows.
Despite public protest, the final fire fell on January 25, 1968 with only 50 people watching.
Like the Yosemite Firefall, Sunday School has gone through several life cycles.
• The idea of Sunday School began in England during the 1780’s as a way of teaching poor children how
to read and write using the Bible as their textbook. Soon illiterate parents started attending with their
children. As we have seen, opportunities are often followed by obstacles and the first one did not take
long. Men started using the excuse that Sunday School was good for women and children but not for
them.
• More recently, the 1950’s saw resurgence in Sunday School attendance as churches were beginning to
fill with families, but a change in 1977 brought an unexpected obstacle. Prior to 1977, the Church of the
Nazarene did not record worship attendance – only Sunday School. The emphasis was on discipleship.
In other words, if you went to Sunday School, you went to “church.” By the mid 70’s, the average
church had more people attending Sunday School than their primary worship service, but within one
year of changing the focus from discipleship to worship, Sunday School numbers in South Arkansas
dropped below the worship attendance – never to compete again. The districts surrounding ours tell the
same story. We stopped emphasizing Sunday School.
• The Small Groups movement of the last 20 years has returned our attention to discipleship but in many
cases quality teaching has been pushed aside for more time to fellowship. Enthusiasm for Sunday
School and Small Groups has dropped because the expectations have been lowered.
Will there be a discipleship revival in our churches? The answer is a resounding yes – if – we again strike
a match. After every obstacle that was thrown in the way at Yosemite, someone lit another match to start another
fire, to have another Firefall until the day no one decided to light another fire. There have been obstacles that
have tried to derail Sunday School, but after every one someone kept striking a match. Today we know that there
are excuses for not going to Sunday School, there has been a change of emphasis and that the expectations
have been lowered, but what we do not know is … will someone strike another match?
Will we overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of discipling Nazarene’s young and old? Can we
leave this place to spark a fire across South Arkansas? Sunday School teachers and Small Group leaders can
spark a fire if they…
Study the lesson
Plan a party
Attend to the attendance
Reach out to others
Keep lighting another match
My challenge to you today is for every Sunday School class and every Small Group on our district to gain
one person – just one – this coming year. If every church had 5 classes / groups and each one increased their
attendance by one person that would be a gain of 210 across our district. That is a spark that would turn into a
bonfire! It is very doable, but it is up to us to do it!
Let’s not allow the flames of Sunday School to stop illuminating our churches! Let’s light another match
so we can see the fire fall again!

4. District NYI President
June 7, 2014
Dr. Branstetter, District NYI Council, Pastors, delegates and friends, welcome to the 62nd annual meeting
of the South Arkansas District.
Our fearless South Arkansas leader, Robbie Keene, stepped down from district NYI leadership at the end
of April. As a result, our district NYI is in a transition phase. Robbie led a Turkey Bowl Ultimate Frisbee
tournament in November. While we are excited for the future, we are sad to see Robbie leave. Please be praying
for him and his family as they will also be in a time of transition during the coming months.
South Arkansas NYI Convention - Saturday May 31
The Saturday following SNU Extravaganza, our district NYI membership met at Little Rock Cornerstone
for a time of worship, teaching, and ultimately voting on our future NYI leadership. Our district Impact Team led
worship. This worship and drama team is comprised entirely of teenagers. The team traveled the district to
various churches and gained experience leading worship and performing drama skits. We had a great turn out
and enjoyed pizza for lunch following the business of the day.
Senior High Teen Camp - A Voice Crying Out - July 7-11
We are looking forward to a wonderful time of camp. Our speaker this year is Jeremiah Bolich. SNU's
Remedy will be joining us again to lead worship. Our theme will be looking at John the Baptist calling out in the
wilderness the truth of Jesus and the call to prepare the way for the Lord and make straight in the desert a
highway for our God.
Junior High Teen Camp - July 14-18
Travis Lee will be speaking at this camp. Like Senior High Camp, this camp will be held at the wonderful
Heath Valley Campground. With a stocked pond, luscious green grass, towering pine trees, and a concrete inground pool, this campground is the ideal camping destination for any event involving teenagers or adults. Check
out the camp at http://heathvalleycamp.com.

upgrades and improvements have occurred during this past year. Six games have been added to the

We have reviewed the accompanying Balance Sheet of the South Arkansas District Church of the
Nazarene as of April 30, 2014 and the related Statement of Revenues Collected and Expenses Paid on a Cash
Basis for the year then ended. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s
financial data and making inquiries of company management. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of the
South Arkansas District Church of the Nazarene, a charitable organization organized under Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code. This organization is organized for the purpose of providing financial and
administrative services to Nazarene churches in South Arkansas, which currently number 47 active churches.
Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting
and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require
us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made
to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our
report.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

6. Memoirs
Rev. Noel George read the following scripture passages: “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It
does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails
to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
“You [Judah} shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land be called Desolate any more. But
you shall be called [My delight is in her], and your land be called Beulah [married]; for the Lord delights in you, and
your land shall be married [owned and protected by the Lord].” Isaiah 62:4
He then prayed: “Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we come into this sanctuary of those who have lost
loved ones and are in their own sanctuary of sorrow, realizing our utter dependence upon You. We know you do
love us and can turn even the shadow of death into the light of morning. Help us now to wait before You with
reverent and submissive hearts. You are our Refuge and Strength, O God – a very present Help in time of
trouble. Grant unto us Your abundant mercy. We consecrate our sorrow to You that You might sanctify even our
weeping. We do not mourn as those who have no hope. You are our hope even now. May those who mourn
today find comfort and healing balm in Your sustaining grace. We humbly bring these petitions in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”

we long for words of comfort, yet find them hard to hear, turn our grief to truer living, our affliction to firmer hope in
the Lord. May the tears that run down our cheeks be silent prayers that never hit the ground without each one
passing through your loving hands of care. God, you are good. You are kind. We trust Your heart even when we
cannot trace your hand. By faith we continue to walk with You knowing that by faith in Christ, we too will rise and
see you and our loved ones again in Beulah land. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.”

A. NMI CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS
Monday Evening, June 16, 2014
President Tim Evans opened the evening service at 7:00 P.M. at First Church of the Nazarene in Little
Rock, Arkansas. Announcements were followed with prayer by Pastor Bobby Howard. On Dry Ground from
Greenwood Church led in worship and music.
Pastor Tim Evans introduced the Joel and Sara Mullen family as missionary speakers. Their children,
Levi and Lia, were also introduced to the convention.
Charles Cummings reported on the Cuba Work and Witness projects. Slide presentations demonstrated
the progress of the three teams working in Cuba in the Fall of 2013 and the Spring of 2014. Wayne Lynch, District
Work and Witness Coordinator, further described current and future projects and encouraged participation in the
continuing Work and Witness projects. Opportunities in 2014 – 2015 include preparation for work in Bulgaria as
well as continuing work in Cuba.
Participating churches were thanked for the Crisis Care Kits gathered for Disaster and Recovery relief. A
truck will be delivering Crisis Care Kits following assembly.
Music and worship continued with an offering received for Work and Witness followed by special music
from Brittany Chancellor.
Pastor Tim Evans made a special presentation to the Edwards family in memory of Louise Edwards. The
family received a framed certificate along with a red rose honoring her devotion and dedication to NMI LINKS and
for her continuing family heritage in service to LINKS missionaries.
Joel and Sara Mullen wove a series of testimonies about their journeys, separately and together, along
their paths of obedience and service as they answered God's call to missions. The theme of their message was
that all along our winding paths, God has a plan. In any ministry to which He calls, God is always at work long
before we realize it. Whenever the call to obedience is not accompanied by clear reasoning, God continues to
assure that “understanding can wait, obedience cannot.”
Following a prayer of blessing for individuals, churches, and this district to answer in obedience, the
evening service was adjourned.
Tuesday Morning, June 17, 2014

Wayne Lynch, Work and Witness Coordinator, reported on the 2013 – 2014 Cuba trips and the upcoming
Commission to Mexico. Another Cuba work trip is scheduled for 2015 and a District trip is being planned for

voting. After all ballots were collected and voting declared closed, the tellers were dismissed.
Following a short break, Pastor Tim Evans introduced speakers Joel and Sara Mullen, missionaries who
served on the Eurasia Region for fourteen years working primarily in Italy and in Eastern Europe. Since 2013,
they have lived in Bethany, Oklahoma, where Joel serves as University Pastor of Student Ministries at SNU. He
organizes SNU's summer international mission teams (SIMS) as well as local ministry opportunities for students.
Using multimedia presentations and personal testimonies, this couple again demonstrated how obedience, even
in the face of unlikely choices, allows God's plans to unfold around the world and at home.
Kathy Forrester and B.J. Jenkins presented information on how World Mission Broadcast and Alabaster
projects are supporting expansion of the church. The WMB goal for the SOAR District is 100% participation with
each church contributing at least $4 for one minute of program transmission. A skit about Alabaster building
projects encouraged everyone to participate in September and February Alabaster collections.
Sherry Marston presented the NMI Treasurer’s report. A copy of the report was distributed to the
delegates. A motion was made, seconded and carried to adopt this report. Additional contributions received at
this convention brought the World Evangelism Fund to 100% for the 2013 – 2014 year end.
Tim Evans shared news about Hispanic involvement in the SOAR District by delivering the Hispanic
Coordinator report for Oscar Perez.
Jane Sanders, Diane Settle and Jon Newlin reported on the Mission Call project and the Children and
Youth Mission’s projects. As the Mission Call Coordinator, Jane Sanders is a resource for young people who
recognize a call to missions. Diane Settle leads SOAR Children's Mission projects like the Mission Explosion
event, which rewards children’s Mission reading efforts, and this year’s VBS offering, which will provide portable
crank radios in mission fields. Jon Newlin shared about providing mission speakers at camp and about this year’s
NYI mission project to translate quizzing materials into new languages.

world areas. Brenda Yarberry encouraged the use of electronic resources, smart phones and text messages to
reach groups in support of prayer and fasting programs and prayer chains. A video presentation emphasized the
importance of the WEF, which provides the basis for Missionary salaries and support.
A skit presented two more children's mission books: Music to God's Ears and Sumon's Hope.
The Chair then relinquished to Dr. Russell Branstetter who introduced Rev. Tim Evans, District NMI
President, to present his annual report for the district. His report was approved and accepted by the Assembly.
The President's presentation theme used a mirror to reveal that the most important part of a mission’s program is
personal involvement. All who serve reflect the light of Christ as a mirror reflects light into dark places.
The results of the ballot for District NMI officers were read: 145 ballots were cast and all were valid;

Notes to Statements of Recorded Cash Receipts and Disbursements
For the 12 Months Ended April 30, 2014
Note A – Accounting Policy
The district’s policy is to record its financial transactions on the basis of the recorded cash receipts and
disbursements; consequently, certain revenues are recognized when received rather than when earned, and
certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred.
Note B – Income Tax Exemption
The South Arkansas District Church of the Nazarene is exempt from federal income tax under certain
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
