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 standing (transcripts) prior to April 1 annually in harmony with the Church of the Nazarene standards. The final 36 transcript at graduation will be evaluated by the Board of Ministerial Studies, and no required courses will be waived. Where To Go 1. For information, guidance, or registration in the South Arkansas Extension School for Ministry, contact the Ministerial Studies Board secretary, Rev. Stephen Comeans, 11001 Kanis Road, Little Rock, AR 72211 (501-225-1082). 2. For district licenses, renewal application forms, or ordination questionnaires, contact the district secretary, Rev.

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. Dr. Branstetter gave the report from Board of Tellers No. 1: 175 good ballots had been cast. Results for the District Advisory Board (terms to expire in 2017): elder – Steve Comeans 40, Bobby Howard 52, Brady Lane 36, Phil Stein 45; laity - Sherry Marston 106, Lance Penfield 28, Mel Sayes 38.

Dr. Duarte asked those elected to stand so the assembly could recognize and congratulate them. 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 adopted. Portions of the District Finance Committee Report were highlighted by Wally Beckman, chair of this committee. With no questions asked regarding this report, a motion was made and seconded to adopt this report. Motion adopted. The camp board report would be given during the evening service. Brady Lane made a motion to allow the district secretary to edit, expunge, harmonize, and prepare the minutes. This motion was seconded and adopted. He then made a motion to adjourn at the conclusion of the evening ordination service. The 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, REV. BRADY R. LANE, District Secretary DR. EUGÉNIO R. DUARTE, General Superintendent 43 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). Respectfully submitted, RUSSELL W. BRANSTETTER 46 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. 48 (From It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It by Robert Fulghum. Copyright 1988, 1989 by Robert Fulghum. Adapted by permission of Villard Books, a division of Random House, Inc.) 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. .

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! 51 Respectfully submitted, BOBBY HOWARD 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. Respectfully submitted, JON NEWLIN B. DISTRICT BOARDS AND STANDING COMMITTEES 1.

During those meetings we discussed finances, improvements, and bookings. In addition to the 403 campers, counselors, and workers from our camps, 515 people used the campgrounds for retreats, reunions, or for a one day activity. Two work weekends were held this year, averaging 15 workers. Several good, used refrigerators, stoves, and a freezer were given or purchased for the campgrounds this year. With the funds raised during the camping season and pledges made by churches and individuals, several upgrades and improvements have occurred during this past year. Six games have been added to the campgrounds: nine hole disc golf, horse shoe pit, ladder bolo, box hockey, baggo and tether ball. Four picnic tables were built and placed around the campgrounds. Underbrush and some trees have been removed to improve the beauty of the grounds. In addition to the swimming pool being painted, several buildings have also been painted. Four buildings have been remodeled or improved during this past year. They include a bathroom expansion and new flooring in a cabin, improvement to the kitchen/ gathering room of Frank Hill Lodge/Dorm, a shower in the Conference Center, and improvement to the Main Kitchen bathroom. A fire pit and amphitheater were installed overlooking the pond. 58 Thank you for your faithfulness, financial support and prayers. We look forward to another great year and to serving South Arkansas District at Heath Valley Campgrounds. Respectfully submitted, PHILIP STEIN, Secretary WALLY BECKMAN, Chair 3. Accountant’s Review Report a. District Account Review Statement June 6, 2014 Board of Directors South Arkansas District Church of the Nazarene 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.

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.” As the song, “I Can Only Imagine” played, the following names of those who had gone on to their eternal reward during the last assembly year were shown on the screen.

We are sometimes hurt by our parting from the ones we love: when we are angry at the loss we have sustained, when 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.

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 The morning meeting opened at 8:30 A.M. with music by On Dry Ground from Greenwood.
