DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT
“The mission of the North Carolina East District of The Wesleyan Church is to serve those who
are serving Christ under our care and direction throughout Piedmont and Coastal North
Carolina and beyond.”
WE WILL SERVE by helping our local congregations become New Testament churches, reflecting
the Great Commission and Greatest Commandment through biblical preaching proclaiming the
Gospel that produces holiness of life.
WE WILL SERVE by building a spirit of unity in our district family, nurturing the fellowship
through clear communication that leads to active participation and burden bearing prayer.
WE WILL SERVE by equipping our pastors, ministers-in-training and local church leaders to carry
out the ministry of the local churches in advancing the Kingdom of God and spreading scriptural
holiness throughout our borders.
WE WILL SERVE by reaching the unreached through planting new churches in areas with a
growing population, going beyond racial and cultural barriers.
WE WILL SERVE with the future in mind by investing ourselves heavily in ministries to youth,
children and families.
WE WILL SERVE by committing ourselves to a level of loyalty to our pastors, people, local
churches and district ministries which will foster a corresponding loyalty throughout our district
family.
WE WILL SERVE with integrity and faithfulness, being committed to excellence, having one
purpose: to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives and ministry for the praise of His glory.

into the District Office Administrator role in February. He passed away unexpectedly on Monday morning,
June 22, 2015.
DALLAS STEPHEN SAUNDERS

The first Wesleyan Methodist Church in the south was established by Adam Crooks in 1847, on land that
now lies within the physical boundaries of the North Carolina East District of the Wesleyan Church. The
Freedom’s Hill church was established to declare the gospel truth of freedom for slave and sinner alike. The
Wesleyan Church has declared itself aligned with the abolition of modern-day slavery in all its forms. The
North Carolina East District declares itself an Abolitionist Conference. We call upon local churches to call
upon their members to work through the power of the gospel and the empowering of the Holy Spirit,
joining in the righteous cause of eliminating human trafficking and slavery wherever it may be found. The
district director of the Micah Movement team is to keep the issue before the pastors and people, including
raising awareness of the importance of calling upon companies and retailers to provide ‘slavery free’
products, calling upon the state and federal government to bring its influence to the elimination of this evil,
and calling upon legislators to strengthen laws against this criminal behavior. (2011)

Local Church
1.
Local church officers shall assume their duties the first day of June. (1969)
2.
The combined USF and district budget shall be assessed on the churches’ contributions income. The current
percentages are: (2007)
USF general fund
USF education institutional fund
District operational fund
District evangelism & church growth fund
Victory Mountain Camp operational fund
Total
2.75
3.25
3.5
1.5
.5
11.5
3.
The budget assessment shall be paid to the district treasurer in monthly installments and shall be sent in
time to arrive by the 20th of each month. (1984)
4.
When a local church is chronically delinquent in paying its annual assessments, the district will assess the
situation and determine if that local church is in need of intervention. It is always in the best interest of the
local church for local leadership to be proactive in making contact with the district leadership when a
challenge — financial or otherwise — is facing the local church.
Step 1.
A copy of the ‘Pathway to Positive Partnership’ policy will be sent to each local church by the district
treasurer along with the church’s annual assessment information each year, so local church leadership will
have a clear understanding of the expectations of the district and general church.
Step 2.
If financial challenges develop that will cause a local church to be delinquent in its assessments, a phone call
should come from the pastor or local church treasurer or vice-chairperson to the district superintendent,
letting the district leadership know that the church is aware of their delinquent status and what plans the
church is making to come into compliance.
Step 3.
If there is no proactive contact from the local church leadership, the district superintendent or the district
treasurer will make a courtesy phone call to the pastor or local church treasurer or vice-chairperson after
four months of delinquency to hear from the local church leadership concerning the finances of the local
church.
Step 4.
If there is no satisfactory progress being made after six months, the district superintendent will send a letter
to the pastor and local board of administration with the copy of the ‘Pathway’ policy enclosed, and a
statement regarding what the district’s ‘next steps’ will be if there is continued delinquency.
Step 5.
If there is no satisfactory timely response to the letter, a request will be made that the church send to the
district auditing committee a copy of their annual budget and twelve months of bank statements of all
church finances.
The Wesleyan Church
__________________________________________________________________
54
Step 6.
After a thorough financial analysis, there will be a meeting with selected local church leaders or the entire
local board of administration with a district intervention team to discuss church spending patterns and
recommendations on how to adjust spending so that the district assessment obligation can be met,
along with a timeline for full compliance.
Step 7.
If there is resistance to compliance on the part of the local church leaders, there will be a meeting with the
pastor and selected local church leaders or the entire local board of administration with the district board of
administration.
Step 8.
In the rare case of continued delinquency, there will be a meeting of the district board of administration,
without local church participation, for the purpose of reclassify the church to ‘Developing Church’ status as
provided for in The Discipline, 2012 edition, ¶518.7(d). (2014)
5.
The conference year shall end May 31. All local church reports to the annual conference shall be received no
later than June 10. Monies to be included in the district treasurer’s annual report, reports to the district
statistician and names submitted to the Memorials Committee shall not be accepted for the current report if
received after June 10. Recommendations of persons for district license shall be sent to the Board of
Ministerial Development by May 1. (1993)
6.
The trustees of each local church shall be responsible to see that multi-peril insurance is adequate for all
church properties. Adequate insurance would cover the church buildings and properties for what it would
cost to replace them. When a church is undergoing a building project, builder’s risk insurance must be added
to the policy to cover the building project. Workman’s compensation insurance should be included for all
church employees. All church vehicles should be adequately insured and a list of authorized drivers
submitted to the insurance company. All auxiliary ministries, such as schools and day cares, are to be
adequately insured with liability and accident insurance. The local church trustees should review the
insurance policy every three years or at the policy renewal date to make sure all coverage is adequate.
(2007)
7.
8.
Each local church is urged to provide a current copy of The Wesleyan Discipline for the pastor(s) and vice
chairperson. Furthermore, it is recommended that each member of the LBA should also be provided a copy.
(1981)
The local church trustees shall determine that all new deeds are properly drawn in accordance with
The Wesleyan Discipline before such deeds are recorded, and that all current deeds are brought into
compliance with The Wesleyan Discipline (4610).
Pastors
1.
It is recommended that vacations with pay for all ministers of the district be based on the number of years in
the ministry of The Wesleyan Church as follows:
After one year of service
After ten years
After twenty years
a minimum of two weeks
a minimum of three weeks
a minimum of four weeks
It is recommended that a vacation bonus of an additional week’s salary be given to the pastor at the time of
his or her vacation. Unused vacation shall not accumulate from year to year, unless approved by the Local
Board of Administration prior to the end of the conference year. (1993)

educational opportunities.

CONFERENCE REPORTS
Report No. 1
District Superintendent
2015 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT
‘What Has the Father Promised?’
Luke 24:45-49
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The
Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be
preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send
you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
Acts 1:4-8
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John
baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him
and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for
you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth.”
This is the word of God and we believe it.
The Conference Journal of 1929 reported that H.B. Barger led in prayer during the second session and ‘the melting
power of the Lord was upon the Assembly, thus they were better fitted to do business.’
What is this ‘power’ that the 1929 District Conference experienced? What is this NEW POWER that Jesus speaks
about in both of these passages? What is this ‘power’ the Father has promised to us, and how is it manifested in
our lives, in our churches, in gatherings like this, and in the world around us?
For the early believers, the death and resurrection of Jesus meant they were entering into a NEW DAY. And when
the day of Pentecost fully arrived, it was one of those ‘this changes everything’ events. The personal presence of
God, who had been with them physically in Jesus, was now to be in them spiritually in the Holy Spirit.
On that day, the power of God shook the place where they were gathered in prayerful obedience to Jesus’
directive, there was the powerful sound of a rushing mighty wind, there was a miraculous manifestation of flames
of fire settling down upon them, and they burst out of the place as witnesses proclaiming the Good News of the
resurrection in languages they had never learned. It was a NEW DAY!
That NEW DAY saw an explosion of NEW LIFE all around them! 3,000 people were added to their numbers that one
day! As they continued to be witnesses to the truth of who Jesus is, they continued to see more people added to
the number of NEW BELIEVERS — 5,000 another time, and the Lord added to their number daily, and even a good
number of priests became obedient to the faith. The NEW WINE that was being poured out into their lives burst
the old wineskins of religious confinement and poured out in a rush of grace that blew away old barriers and
flowed in mercy over NEW BRIDGES that were built into multiple ethnicities and nations. And it flows over us
today.
As we have worked and waited and watched God move, I have said more than once to Pastor Ernest Mullins, ‘I feel
like we are living in the Book of Acts.’

As those early believers fanned out across Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth, establishing NEW
LOCAL EXPRESSIONS OF THE CHURCH, so we continue to see the Lord raise up new fellowships across eastern
North Carolina. Pastor Ernest has some exciting stories to share with you in his District Evangelism and Church
Growth report later today. I do want to mention a couple of exciting developments. Wilmington Crosswinds has
purchased land just off of Highway 17, south of town and is in the process of preparing to build phase one of their
first building. Randleman Vintage is also in the process of purchasing land on the west side of town, and making
plans to start their first building. In both cases, money from the sale of church property is making this next step
forward possible for them. We mourn the passing of the First Wesleyan Church in Wilmington, but this aging
congregation willingly laid down their life as a local church in order to pass along their legacy to this emerging
young vibrant church. Randleman Vintage will also be the extension of the life of the old Guilford Wesleyan
Church, which became Oak Ridge CrossGate, when the property on Alcorn Road is sold. That is the way you do it.
Following the leadership of the Holy Spirit in establishing NEW CHURCHES always brings with it NEW CHALLENGES.
We live in a broken world and they do not all make it, although we have been blessed to see so many of our church
plants thrive. One of those that did not make it is Durham Place of Hope. We were saddened to see this
congregation close this year, but we rejoice in the eternal impact of this ministry.
The things we learn from our sad experiences give us NEW OPPORTUNITIES to get it right next time. We have been
blessed to have the gifts, experience and pastor’s heart of Pastor Doug Dennis who serves as our District Director
of Local Church and Ministerial Development. He will be sharing his DBMD report with you and leading our
Ordination Service this Sunday afternoon at 4:30 at the Rushwood Church in Asheboro. But his unique ministry to
churches in helpful and healthy intervention is what I want to highlight. We have been blessed to have Pastor Doug
working as a coach and consultant with Troy First Wesleyan, Troy Wesleyan, Asheboro Rushwood and Asheboro
First this year. And when we had surprise resignations and early exits of pastors at Rose Hill Bethel and Tabor City
Old Zion, Pastor Doug was able to step into each vacancy and bring his ‘turn-around church’ expertise to both of
these situations. As a District Superintendent who has not always had such a resource to call upon, I can tell you,
this is invaluable! And each of these churches will attest to that fact.
It is unfortunate that we have to intervene sometimes, but things do not always go as we hope they will. I had a
conversation with a pastor once who had to call his children’s pastor into account for his lack of, shall we say,
positive results in ministry? The children’s pastor tried to put a guilt trip on the pastor by saying, ‘All we do is kill
ourselves making you look good!’ I told the pastor that he should have said to him, ‘You grew the children’s
ministry from over a hundred down to fifteen. You make me look like a genius!’
District intervention is not always well received, like accountability, but I would say the Trinity Wesleyan Church in
Eden is grateful for their District family connection. We are helping them walk from grief in the untimely loss of
their senior pastor back to health by partnering with them to bring a Strategic Transitional Pastor to work with
them. This is also an invaluable tool for us.
This kind of work by a District that loves and cares for the local churches under its care brings NEW HOPE into
some otherwise dismal situations. In Romans 5:5, Paul reminds us, ‘And this hope does not put us to shame,
because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.’ Love
empowered by the Holy Spirit is what the early church experienced, and we have been blessed to experience it as
well.
Back to Acts 1, how far are we supposed to take this ‘ends of the earth’ idea when it comes to church planting?
Pastor Luciano Covarrubias, our lead pastor at High Point El Camino, has approached me about the possibility of us
partnering with them in planting churches around his hometown in Mexico! Let’s do it!
Also, when the ‘ends of the earth’, from our perspective, come to us, what are we supposed to do about that?
Well, we rejoice and embrace them, as Pastor Chris Thore and High Point First have done through their Lao
ministry led by Pastor Inthava Inthasane, who has also been the key to establishing our Burmese refugee ministry.
That has now grown to the point that they have been able to call Pastor Sitt Lin Heh, whom the Lord is using to win
many Burmese to himself. We welcome our NEW LOCAL CHURCH MISSION to the District, while at the same time
we mourn the passing of their champion, Dr. John McMurphy.
When God works in our lives and in our churches and in our communities like this, it should give us a NEW
The Wesleyan Church

APPRECIATION FOR GOD in all his dimensions. This is a lesson we need to learn if we are to go deeper and further
in our relationship with him, and in our impact in the world. We need to learn from our history — in some cases
reclaim it and in some cases pray to God that we do not repeat it.
We have not always done a good job in appreciating what God has wanted to do among us.
We started out with a truly sacrificial determination to set people free from sin and slavery, reforming the culture
in the process. This stone in front of us today, presented to the District by Pastor Roger Coburn, is from the original
foundation of the Freedom’s Hill Wesleyan Methodist Church where construction began in the Fall of 1847, and
they held their first service in the NEW BUILDING on March 18, 1848. We were all the way ‘in’ from that point
forward. But in the early 1900’s, Walter Rauschenbusch and his social gospel friends scared us so we gave that
away. We just walked away from it. We used to preach an optimistic gospel of full salvation accompanied by signs
and wonders, but the Pentecostals came along with that tongues thing, so we gave that away. We used to have
storefront missions in the roughest part of town but we fell in love with the ‘second-coming’ emphasis so we gave
that away, and turned away from our message and mission to save the whole person to ‘personal soul-winning’
(not that that’s wrong, but it’s just not enough). When the civil rights movement came along, we had already given
away our voice in that matter, and strangely we ended up on the wrong side of that — offended that people would
defy authority to make their plea for justice, but not offended that people were being mistreated, held back and
abused just because of the color of their skin. How did that happen? We used to be joyous and demonstrative in
our singing, but the charismatic movement came along and scared us to death, so we gave that away. We used to
be sold out to the discipleship mission of the church, but the church growth movement came along and we
focused on building bigger churches and forgot it was about building better people, so we gave our deeper life
heritage away.
We became respectable and religious, and were no longer radical or effective.
What will future generations of North Carolina Wesleyans say about how we respond to the current issues and
temptations facing us? The issues surrounding immigration, or the LGBTQ issues, or issues regarding women in
ministry? How will we handle those things? Will we be faithful to love God and love ‘them’?
Let me say a word to my young friends about this. When you are forced to choose between the tensions in the
culture surrounding ‘human rights’ and what has been delivered to us through divine revelation, you have to stand
with the Word. Do it lovingly, but do it faithfully. By the power of the Holy Spirit, you can love people and be
faithful to God at the same time.
Let me say a word to my older friends about this. When Jesus told us to love our neighbors, he meant all our
neighbors. That was his NEW COMMANDMENT to us — that we love one another (all the ‘one anothers’), that we
love them like we are loved by him, and that we love others so consistently that it becomes the mark of who we
are and whose we are. Wesley described holiness as ‘love filling the heart, expelling sin.’ If love fills your heart it is
what fills your mind and what comes out of your mouth and out of your actions.
So God in his mercy has done for us what he did for the profane, hateful, self-indulgent, hell-bound, godless
culture in the first century. By his divine intervention, he has given us a NEW DAY just like he gave them for a
culture alarmingly similar to theirs. And our young, emerging leaders and our newly found friends are taking us
back to our roots, helping us recover our heritage, and refocus us on our legacy. People like Pastor Anthony Smith
and Pastors Dustin and Hannah Wilson are blowing through long established racial barriers in Salisbury and Rowan
County, and bringing a NEW WORD through the Mission House and Freedom Roots ministries. Pastor Sid Wheatley
is coming alongside Pastor Rodney Purcell in Mebane to raise up Ray of Hope Ministries, a multi-ethnic
congregation on our property there that is wonderfully and divinely positioned to reach a diverse population.
But to be the church that reaches those who are not-yet believers — even those hostile to the faith — we must
have a NEW RELIANCE ON GOD. I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Sometimes we are so intent on
chasing after the newest and latest thing, we will run over people — especially people older than we are — to get
there. Stop chasing after the latest thing that is happening somewhere else. Stop believing the lie that you can
replicate what God is doing over there by mimicking it over here. You cannot replicate anointing. You cannot
replicate blessing. Develop a NEW DETERMINATION to chase after God. See what NEW THING he wants to do
where you are!
The Wesleyan Church

These early believers had the courage to wait on God. Do we?
When we declare our total reliance on God, we will discover, like them, that we have a NEW RESERVOIR OF
RESOURCES we never dreamed existed. It will produce in us a NEW SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY like the Spirit who
dwelled in them. We will rejoice in, and not resist, NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS. And we will come away with
NEW STORIES OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS that we would not have experienced if we had not learned to rely on God.
Let me brag on God a little bit. Maybe you have had the experience of raising a child that you discovered along the
way was so special that your job as a parent was to stay out of the way and not mess them up. Churches can be
like that, too.
Have you ever known a church in your experience that grew from 800 to 1600 in one week? God made that
happen at Durham newhope! The Sunday they moved into this building, they doubled in number. And he wasn’t
through. By his strength and blessing, newhope has added multiple campuses now, and they are in the process of
launching a new campus in Hillsborough, on property right next to Orange High School. Across the newhope
campuses this Easter, they saw 8,144 in attendance. God did that.
Have you ever known of a church like Hope City that was planted by two Districts in cooperation with each other?
And that church has exploded in growth and is growing the kingdom? They have poured the pads and are erecting
the steel for their new building adjacent to Wallburg School. And are now invading territory in an impoverished
neighborhood in urban High Point, the hungriest city in North America, that has long been dominated by the
enemy of the kingdom. God is doing that.
Have you ever known a dying church of 35, with a building, to invite a young homeless church to join them, in fact
take them over, and it work? Well, it has worked at Foster Street, where those who feel unwelcome in other places
will find an open-hearted welcome and transformation for their lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. And this
is a congregation of 500 crammed into a sanctuary that seats less than 200. God did that.
Have you ever known a church plant to walk away from a debt-free building in a nice neighborhood in favor of
settling into a cramped theater downtown to build a strangely mixed congregation of college students, young
families and homeless people? Love Chapel Hill has made that choice for the salvation of those many of us have
not been able to reach effectively. And as unlikely as it is, their fastest growing group is young families. They had
their largest number of children in Quest Kids ever this past Sunday, in the summertime! God is doing that.
Do you know what my major contribution as a District Superintendent has been to each of these thriving
situations? I have stayed out of the way. It’s brilliant! If you want your church to thrive, get the District
Superintendent to go help some other church!
And in obedience to God, I am going to be moving even further out of the way. The Lord has revealed to me it is
time for NEW LEADERSHIP to step into place in the NC East District. I have loved being your District
Superintendent. I am sure I have loved it more than some of you have. But I have a firm conviction that this is too
good a job to hog. Other people — leaders whom God has anointed — need to be given the opportunity to lead, as
well. So, in November, Dr. Lyon will begin the process, with the District Board of Administration, in discovering
who the Lord has chosen as our next leader. With her blessing, we will reconvene as a District Conference in
March, 2016, to elect our next District Superintendent.
I do not mean to be overly dramatic here, but we all need to recognize we are on the verge of a significant sea
change in this District. Former District Superintendent Carroll Upton cannot be with us today because of the failing
health of his wife. Former District Superintendent Leon Thompson cannot be with us today because of the failing
health of his wife. Former Assistant District Superintendent James L. Denny cannot be with us today because of his
failing health. Former Assistant District Superintendent Lee Cockerill, now in his 90’s, cannot be with us today.
Former Assistant District Superintendent, District Treasurer and Academic Dean of Southern Pilgrim College James
C. Smith is missing his first District Conference since he began coming in the 1940’s, because of failing health. And
former Southern Pilgrim College President Gordon E. Miller cannot be with us today because of failing health.
These are giants in our history and when they pass, a significant part of our history passes with them.
And we know what a sad time we have experienced with the untimely passing of other leaders and pastors. We
were not prepared for the death of our dear friend, District Office Administrator and pastor of the Why Not
The Wesleyan Church

church, Darrell Scruggs, tragically killed in a car accident on his way home from The Gathering in January. And how
is it possible that a short five months later our new District Office Administrator and lead pastor of the Trinity
Wesleyan Church in Eden, Wayne Johnson, would collapse at home and pass away? And then, four weeks later, to
learn of the tragic death of Pastor Steve Saunders, just days from his last Sunday at Albemarle. Yea, though we
have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, the Lord has been with us. And he is sustaining us all,
including Naomi, Sylvia and Carolyn. We were able to receive $10,101.38 through our Camp Meeting offerings for
these three precious women. Thank you, local churches, for paying your Camp Meeting assessments, as that allows
us to give our Camp Meeting offerings away.
And now looking forward with great anticipation, there is one critical aspect of the Day of Pentecost that we
cannot afford to miss. There was a NEW UNITY among them. They were ‘all in one accord.’ The one inhibiting
factor for us will be if we let our enemy drive a wedge between us. The Accuser would love to undermine our
unified spirit. We cannot let that happen to us. As we are led by the Spirit, we will be unified in spirit.
You know the names of Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Did you know they were best friends?
Teddy Roosevelt was William McKinley’s Vice President. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Roosevelt
became the 26th President of the United States at 42 years of age, the youngest ever. During his presidency, he
purposely groomed his best friend, Taft, to succeed him — and he did, elected the 27th President in 1908. But Taft
disappointed Roosevelt by not being progressive enough in his leadership. This eventually led to a rift between the
two friends. When Taft was renominated by the Republican Party in 1912, Roosevelt bolted the Party and formed
his own Bull Moose Party. This essentially handed the election to Democrat Woodrow Wilson (sound familiar?).
The two men were each hurt deeply by these events and stayed apart for years.
The breach began to be healed when, as Teddy was hospitalized, Taft sent him a ‘get-well’ telegram. Then, by
chance (actually by divine appointment), they were both at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago in the Fall of 1918. As
Taft was on his way to his room, the elevator operator happened to mention that Teddy Roosevelt was also there
that day, dining in the dining room. Taft immediately insisted that they take the elevator back down to the ground
floor, and off he headed to the dining room. He saw Teddy sitting alone at a table in the corner by the window and
headed straight for him. Taft called across the room, ‘Teddy! I am glad to see you!’ And Roosevelt grabbed Taft by
the shoulders and responded with a roar, ‘Well, I am delighted to see you!’ And the Bull Moose and the Walrus fell
into each others arms and wept their way back into fellowship.
You may have heard this story before. But did you know that Teddy Roosevelt passed away two months later?
At the risk of creating a line a mile long for the District Superintendent, I am going to be so bold today as to ask you
to respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to go right now to that friend from whom you are estranged and
make it right. Go on and do it now. We have time.
Our unity is that important, that we stop whatever else we are doing and make things right with our neighbor and
our friend. God will use such an atmosphere of humility and mercy and grace to take us to NEW PLACES.

I am not sure that would have been legal).
Thank you, Ernest, for your undying loyalty and sacrificial spirit. You have been a true gift from God to me.
Thank you, Jo Anne, for being God’s person in God’s time for The Wesleyan Church and the North Carolina East District. We

Thank you, James and Bill and Doug, for your faithful and fruitful work as outstanding servants of God in our midst.
Thank you, Ken, for allowing us to throw you into the deep end here, and for not being offended by our conversations about

Thank you, Pastors, for leading your churches with integrity and compassion. You are the best team we could ever imagine.
Thank you, DBA, for providing such excellent leadership for this District. We are completely comfortable putting our future in
your hands.

Report No. 2
Assistant District Superintendent
General Superintendent Dr. Jo Anne Lyon, District Superintendent Dan LeRoy, delegates and friends.
Nelson Mandela was described in many ways in the hours after his passing December 5, 2013, Courageous.
Compassionate. Fighter. Leader. Friend. Healer. On and on the descriptive accolades came.
They were all correct of course, each reflecting just one aspect of an extremely gifted and complicated man the
likes of which we won’t likely see again in our lifetime. A myriad of voices offering reflections on the amateur
boxer, turned tribal leader, turned revolutionary, turned political prisoner, turned national leader, turned South
African President, turned international spokesman and symbol for freedom and justice.
But one descriptive word distills all other words into one to describe his 95 years – Liberator! The name Nelson
Mandela will historically invoke the image of – Liberator
We would all agree that these are different and challenging times for the Church in a postmodern world. A world
that struggles to overcome a myriad of issues that deeply divide us. But NCE family, what a great point in history to
be the Church - Contrasting the darkness of sins’ enslavement we share the good news - the message of holiness
that is transcendent of cultural warp. The message that uniquely equips us to stand tall and stand strong in our
communities as the epicenter of liberty. Our message offers life transformation through the Real Jesus, the
inclusive Jesus who came not for the private clique but for all the people, regardless of the color of their skin,
nationality or language. Boldly we proclaim the message that strips away the facades of ecclesiastical bias to
introduce to everyone the most authentic person to ever have walked planet earth.
Mandela said “To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that enhances the freedom of
others.” May we – the Wesleyan church in our communities (large or small) (affluent or poor) be the champions of
liberty. May the way we live out our mission enhancing the freedom of others regardless of the cost.
As assistant DS the past 8 years, I have witnessed the church truly become the Liberator in many communities. As
churches we are making some transformational discoveries that are resulting in redemptive, liberating community
connections. Once again the church is passionately becoming the focal and vocal point of conversion, compassion,
connection and change in the community. A bold declaration of the Gospel and the authority of Scripture are
resulting in refreshing numbers of salvations and baptisms. I am thankful that God has allowed me to be a part of
this fresh movement of His Spirit reigniting our passion for lost people through His Church in the North Carolina
East District.
As E&CG Director, I have overseen our existing church plants and missions, while working with a team to witness
the birth of #16 in New Bern, and #17 In Salisbury this conference year. While our planting effort did not develop
in Oak Island, six of our church plants have been passed on to the district as developing churches, along with the
restart in Goldsboro as The Hydrant church. I thank God for the community impact and the redemptive reach of
our developing children. Birthed by the Holy Spirit, developed by spirit filled, visionary leaders, supported by
sacrificial living and giving, these churches are community light houses with amazing influence and impact that is
both seen and felt in tangible ways. I think it safe to say that God continues to supply the men/women for new
community impact as we continue to supply the obedience!
As Director of Victory Mountain Camp Development, I have assisted the VMC board and Dennis LuRue in
continuing to reach our defined 20/20 goals. We have completed another beautiful Heritage Hill cabin, with our
new Deep Woods – Unsung Heroes Cabin under construction. The goal is to build debt free. We continue to
attempt to raise scholarship funds for kids who otherwise would not be able to attend camp. Continuing to work
toward year-round ministry, we are now filling the calendar with new camping / retreat events as well as providing
ministry opportunities to various groups outside our own district family. We continue to seek funding streams to

liquidate development debt (sewer system and new cabin infrastructure) as well as subsidizing camper fees
(currently $100 per camper) so that we can continue to make our camping experience affordable as well as
transformable. We have scheduled our 7th annual Old-Fashioned Camp Meeting Day for October 15th. As we
continue to develop VMC ministries, it is my prayer that we will value, support, and preserve this ministry at all
cost.
I have also attempted to faithfully assist our District Superintendent at his direction. 2015 has presented its
unique challenges and losses. Our hearts were crushed by the sudden tragic death of Darrell Scruggs, a friend and
district team mate. Unbelievably only 5 months later Pastor Wayne Johnson, the new office administrator passed
away unexpectedly. Again – we felt the loss of yet another district team player. Only two weeks later one of our
beloved pastors – Steve Saunders was killed in an accident. Once again we were driven to our knees – reminded
that every day is a gift from God and we must make our time count!! It has also been my privilege to attempt to
keep the schedule and fulfill the role of district leader while Pastor Dan recovered from unexpected open heart
surgery. From working through property issues, committee meetings, LBA issues, church visits and pastoral
vacancies we have experienced God’s Great Grace and district protection in unexplainable ways. God is faithful
and His church in motion is awesome! Personally - I thank Pastor Dan for his Spirit-led leadership, and
compassionate love for the body of Christ. His example challenges me on a daily basis. My own ministry has been
enhanced and I have experienced personal growth through my working relationship with you - the leaders of
this district. It is my daily privilege to serve alongside men and women of integrity and focused vision who clearly
understand that it’s never enough to just be free ourselves – we must consistently be about the mission of
enabling others to be free. Susan and I thank you for your friendship, prayers and support – as we labor together
to more fully represent Christ to our communities.

Report No. 8
Evangelism and Church Growth Director
General Superintendent Dr. Lyon, District Superintendent Dan LeRoy, Delegates and Friends:
In early November of 2014 Pastor Dan and I flew to San Diego to join other district leaders in the California Summit
Tour of multi-cultural church plants. Arriving a day early we decided to tour the USS Midway aircraft carrier and
museum.
The Midway was commissioned in 1945 as the largest ship in the world for a decade, the first ship too large for the
Panama Canal. It was decommissioned in 1992 after 47 years of illustrious service – the longest serving carrier of
the 20th century. Cost 90 million to build in 1945. It consumed 260 gallons of fuel per mile – weighing 50,000 tons –
and fast enough that a sailor could have water-skied behind it. It housed a crew of 4,500 – including 200 pilots / 5
doctors / 3 dentists / serving 13,500 meals a day – a floating city, with a series of neighborhoods, a radio station, a
TV station, churches, bakers, butchers, cobblers, dry cleaners.
Then - On April 30th, 1975 The Midway – experienced one of her finest hours – leading the evacuation of Saigon –
Operation Frequent Wind - rescuing 3,073 people in two days. The fall of Saigon marked the end of one of the most
controversial wars in U.S. history. But for the men on the Midway that day – there was no controversy – only the
desire to take on board as many people as possible. People desperate to be rescued from the despair and
impending death of their existence.
It was an overcast, rainy day. The flight deck was filled with tension. The average age of these sailors - 19, the
mission an unparalleled, unprecedented rescue mission. They had a plan but they knew there would be changes in
the plan throughout the course of the operation. They knew it was up to them to fulfill the mission when the call
came. At first it went well – controlled chaos – the second day just as chaotic as helicopters full of refugees arrived
on the overcrowded flight deck. These kids – on average a year and a half out of high school – were willing to do
whatever it took – their orders changing by the minute - to save as many refugees as possible in those
extraordinary 30 hours.
There are thrilling and unforgettable images that emerge from those heroic hours: When there was no longer
room on the deck for incoming choppers to land – they began Pushing helicopters off the deck – because that’s
what they had to do to rescue people. At that moment in time - Rescuing People Mattered More Than Anything.
Look at the photos – the scene of young American sailors leading the refuges across the flight deck. The stories are
unending and unimaginable – but rescue – is the mission – no matter the sacrifice or cost.
Hear Stephanie Dinh tell the story of her rescue in 1975 – “I watched as other refugees jammed aboard the
Midway, I saw the troops pushing choppers overboard to make room for incoming choppers filled with more
refugees. These people were making a deliberate decision that Helicopters could be replaced, Human lives could
not. ”Because of that day I then believed the words engraved inside the base of the Statue of Liberty. They now
have special meaning to me. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The
wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest – tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside
the golden door.” What I saw and experienced on the Midway that day – said to me – You Really Mean It!
The legacy of Operation Frequent Wind – is not about the material cost of those discarded helicopters - or even
the risk of the mission – the legacy is the men and women who made the rescue possible and the thousands of
people who found a new life of freedom because of it.
In stark contrast – there was another large ship in the San Diego harbor that day – in fact just across the parking
lot. The cruise ship “Golden Princess.” Guest capacity: 2,636 / Crew: 1,100 - Three main dining rooms, 12 cafés
and snack bars and 24hour room service. Guest services ranging from – 9 Spas and a fitness center, grand casino,
The Wesleyan Church

sports deck, art gallery, duty free boutiques, shore excursions, teen and kids center, 4 pools, movie theater, show
lounge, 5 bars and lounges. Life boats: 22 / 2 – rescue boats.
The Mission: To make people happy.
We saw Two Ships that day – with Two Missions
Which mission matters most? If lost people really matter – Rescue matters most.
Today I will not be talking so much about physical numbers from our new Church and mission plants the past seven
years. The emphasis today is not about the amazing combined attendance numbers from these plants of 1,523 this
past church year - though that is amazing!!
Our mission is reflected best in our rescues: 934 Salvations, 443 Baptisms.
Each plant a different model, increasingly racially diverse and leader gifted.
Add the seven year rescue numbers from: Wilmington North Point 92 Salvations / 21 Baptisms, Foster Street
Salvations 587 /281 Baptisms, Newhope (combined campuses) 5,602 Salvations/ 1,630 Baptisms.
Seven Year Rescue Total: Estimated - Salvations 7,215 / Baptisms - 2,375 - The NCE District Really Means It! We
take rescue seriously!
These 7 year numbers represent unforgettable images: Each represents a story … stories prompted by men and
women who are called to a mission knowing that the plan is always changing. Stories of personal risk and
exhaustion. Stories that push through the controversy of the mission with the raw desire to reach as many lost
people as possible. Knowing that Eternal souls matter more than human preference, or calculated cost
The unforgettable stories of the NCE District mission told by Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics and Asian
brothers and sisters joining hands and hearts - rushing the decks of their communities, making deliberate and
sometimes controversial decisions (pushing some treasured but (from eternities perspective,) non relevant things
overboard. to rescue - fearful, uncertain, lonely and lost people who are looking for freedom and a chance to begin
life anew. Men, women, teens and children longing to be free!
District family - We have a choice – the Golden Princess or Operation Fresh Wind. WE Have Made Our Choice!
This past year we experienced the vision of a new church plant in New Bern NC under the leadership of Aaron
and Lenee Golden and team. Even before arriving on site in September the hand of God has been all over this
endeavor. Seems that God has been impatiently waiting on us to show up and get it right and we are running to
keep up with his blessing and leadership. Because of overcrowded core meetings on Sunday evenings - Union
Point Church moved from the Golden’s home to the YMCA for Sunday morning worship on May 31 st. God is
blessing with new families and contacts for their launch team. With healthy systems in place this plant looks and
feels like a church though they have not officially launched yet.
This spring we partnered with Dustin Wilson and Anthony Smith to envision Mission House Church in Salisbury
NC. This is a church planted by accident. The need for a church grew out of the Freedom Roots mission. As lives
were transformed and relationships forged – the mission in the community demanded a church – instead of a
church searching for a mission. These co-pastors bring their own unique gifts, racial diversity, and influences
into a community rip for a transformational message.
We continue to partner with our Hispanic region – in planting churches with our Hispanic brothers in Eden, Chapel
Hill, and High Point. Asheboro Neighbor’s Grove stepped up to mother and mentor the Hispanic ministry in their
community. WE are also in a finical partnership with our Hispanic seminary and with our Burmese brothers in High
Point.
The Wesleyan Church

The new church year offers the prospect of another new rescue effort through re-launch in the Mebane, NC area.
Pray with us for direction and favor.
Having our own District Church planter coach is another development we are excited about and thankful for. Your
ECG board has asked Matt LeRoy to serve in this capacity and he has graciously accepted. His Giftedness,
understanding of our district culture, experience and availability brings a much needed level of support and
expertise to our planting families. I believe this step helps solidify and strengthen our districts church planting
future.
District Team - your awesome prayer / share support continues to enable us to continue to storm the decks and
fulfill our mission of rescue. To Explore, Dream and Pray over the next open door – until God calls the person for
the place to set up other rescue operations in other NCE communities to discover other unique miracles of grace other stories of liberation. Because – we really mean it!
Thank you for the privilege of serving

Report No.10
Multi-Ethnic Ministry
In recent years our District, under the leadership of our District Superintendent Pastor DanLeRoy, has shared his
vision to recapture that unique and meaningful part of our heritage which called people to take a principled stand
against racial injustice, hatred and the slavery of God’s children. As a District we approved a document that stated
that we would consider ourselves to be an Abolitionist District, which again called us to claim for ourselves the
unique calling of Rev. Adam Crooks that compelled him to come from Ohio to North Carolina to plant an
abolitionist Wesleyan Methodist Church here within the geographical boundaries of our District. As we all know,
casting vision, approving proclamations and even preaching sermons have little impact unless it is lived out; unless
it begins to shape the way ministry is done within our District and how we live our lives.
Today I believe that there is a rising movement among our District churches and pastors whose ministries are more
and more reflecting outreach to the ethnic populations that have found a home among us. Our world has become
multi-ethnic in every way. When Jesus gave us the Great Commission He called us to reach the “ethnos” – the
nations of the world. The nations of the world have come to us. We live in the same neighborhoods. We eat at the
same restaurants. Our children play sports together and go to school together. Therefore we have every reason to
believe that Jesus was not just speaking to the urban churches, or those who have ethnic congregations worshiping
separately within their church. I believe that our calling today is for every church to intentionally find ways to reach
all people, to create an atmosphere of unity and shared value, and build a congregation of people who reflect the
amazing diversity of heaven.
Here in the NC East District there are various models which reflect the ideals of the Multi-Ethnic Church.
- New Church Plants
- Church Re-Starts
- Established Church Re-Visioning
- Culture of Inclusion
- Community Mission
- Community Engagement
- Language Specific
As we move forward as a District family I would like to encourage our pastors and Local Boards of Administration
to spend some significant time of discussion relating to the issue of Multi-Ethnic Ministry. Recently members of
our District team discussed the elements that should be reflective of a church that values Multi-Ethnic Ministry and
I share them with you today in the form of discussion questions:
1. Can we say that our church is intentional and actively engaging meaningful relationships and ministry
partnerships across ethnic boundaries?
2. How willing would our congregation be to make changes that would allow greater acceptance and
affirmation of other ethnic populations?
3. What do we believe our congregation’s next steps should be in casting a Multi-Ethnic ministry vision?
4. What are some of the key issues within our community in which we can stand with brothers and
sisters in Christ who feel oppressed, discriminated against, or abused?
In the days to come my prayer is that I and the members of the Multi-Ethnic Ministry team can provide resources
and encouragement as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission together, and to see the answer to Jesus’ prayer in
our day, “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Report No. 11
Global Partners Director
Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving again this year as the NC East District Director of Global
Partners. It’s a joy to see many of our churches doing their part to fulfill the Great Commission – not only in our
Jerusalems, Judeas, and Samarias, but also to the ends of the earth. We certainly have room for growth and
improvement – far too many of our churches either failed to report or are not actively involved in supporting GP
missions – but I’m confident our missions efforts as a District are making a difference for Christ and His Kingdom.
This past year short-term teams from our District served overseas in such places as Haiti, Antigua, Guatamala,
Honduras, China, Kenya, and here at home in such places as Kentucky, West Virginia, and, of course, at Hephzibah
Children’s Home in Georgia. Thank you to those of you who served!
Your prayer and financial support for Global Partners missionaries continues to enable the spread of the Gospel in
various parts of the world. Adam and Krista Jones returned to Bosnia where they continue to serve faithfully.
Jarvis and Sue Ferguson are based in Atlanta, GA; Jarvis continues to serve as the Ibero-America area director,
giving leadership and direction to missionaries, pastors, and churches throughout Central and South America.
Thank you for supporting and investing in the ministries of these servant missionaries.
As we look to the future, the District Missions Team is continuing to work toward a significant partnership with
Global Partners on the Jesus Film Project in Sierra Leone. Through the Jesus Film, thousands of people around the
world are hearing the Gospel and receiving Christ as their Savior. We would also love to see God raise up a few
individuals, couples, or families from our own NC East District who will answer the call to serve Christ as
missionaries with Global Partners.
The District Missions Team this year consisted of Tom & Mary Louise Stancell, Boyd & Wanda Trogdon, Roger
Smith, Jonathan Lewis, Ronnie Jones, and Steve Saunders. Special thanks to these for serving this year.
Thank you again for allowing me the privilege of serving in this role this year. Though I will be turning over the
DDGP role to another, I look forward to what God will do through us as a District and in us as churches and
individuals as we continue to offer – and expand – our faithful support of Global Partners missions in partnership
with the international Church.

Report No. 13
Spiritual Formation Director
In Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus mandates that the church makes disciples of all people, not just a select few. It is the
basis for a book I have been reading entitled Strategic Disciple Making, which author Aubrey Malphurs teaches
churches and Christians a discipleship process that comes from the pages of scripture. He desires that all
Christians and churches will pickup this mandate from Jesus and run with it.
My desire and purpose as Spiritual Formation Director is to equip the district in partnering with local churches and
Christians to make the disciples. That is why in 2014-2015 we hosted the first Spiritual Formation Department
Tour: Go + Make for the Wesleyan Church. It was a one-day, holistic, all–church discipleship training event at
Victory Mountain Camp. Jeremy Summers, Scott Simmons, and Kathy George came from Headquarters to present
to the 85+ people from our local churches in attendance. During the day, we broke out into groups focused on
discipling adults, youth and children. The closing session provided time for individuals from the same churches to
discuss, dream, and cast vision about the discipleship process within their local church.
Also during the 2014-2015 Conference year I have started forming an Adult Spiritual Formation team. I am trying
to bring a team together that is passionate about disicpling and training others. The purpose of this team will be to
help mentor and provide support to churches that need assistance in the area of Spiritual Formation and
discipleship.
I have continued to work with local churches to partner with their Sunday School Departments, Spiritual Formation
Directors and Pastors to offer specialized day trainings. This fall we will be able to bring the information for our
SFD:Tour Training to each local church that requests a visit. If any pastor or church would like further information
about these trainings I can be reached at pastorjosh@ramseurwesleyan.com.

Wesleyan Women
General Superintendent Lyon, District Superintendent LeRoy, Delegates and Friends:
Wesleyan Women is a movement of women who are growing spiritually and becoming rooted in relationships. This
produces an overflowing into the church and in the world. How are women in the NC East district becoming part of
this movement?
First, women are growing in their relationship with God by being in His word. Ladies are joining daily, weekly or
monthly in local bible studies. Women are joining together for times of prayer. Women are spending time each day
in daily devotions. With this joining together deep relationships are being formed with other women.
This deeper spiritual growth produces an overflow into the local church, community, and world. Women are
stepping forward to become a voice for those that don’t have a voice. Women are speaking up against injustice to
women and children.
This year ladies from the NC East had the opportunity to attend the Mustard Seed Gathering, a general leadership
training, led by General Director of Wesleyan Women Andrea Summers. Women were challenged and informed
about the movement that is taking place in women’s ministry.
NC East ladies also had the opportunity to attend two regional events. In November ladies from the
Asheboro/Thomasville/Greensboro regions joined together at Randleman First. Alicia Keesling shared about
deepening her walk with God. Ladies attending brought items for Victory Mountain Camp. In March ladies from
Burlington/Raleigh and surrounding regions joined together to hear Shirley Duncan and her mother Chestine
Jones. They shared about their journey of living in domestic violence. Ladies attending brought items for the local
women’s shelter in Burlington.
In April over 80 women from the NC E joined with other women throughout the US for the ALIVE conference in
Nashville. This was a conference led by the general Wesleyan Women team. Women were truly challenged to
become alive in Christ.
Wesleyan Women will continue to lead and be in the midst of issues relevant to our world today. Wesleyan
Women have always been doing what they can where they can. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the women
of the NC East.
Serving together,
Wanda Trogdon

District Children’s Ministry
The NC East District Childrens Ministry continues to be so blessed with children’s pastors, directors, leaders, and
volunteers who have the heart and desire to see children fall in love with Jesus. They understand that children’s
ministry is not a babysitting service. It is intentional planning that results in families partnering with churches to
work together to be a part of an amazing growth process. I appreciate each and every one of those that serve day
after day, week after week to make this happen.
District and denominational resources are still readily available to all our churches. Our Wesleyan Kids website
www.wesleyankids.org is updated regularly and is a valuable resource for curriculum, ideas and communication.
Kathy George, Wesleyan Kids Director, will be hosting the 2 nd annual Wesleyan Big Kids Leadership Conference on
Oct 1-3,2015 at Cypress Wesleyan Church in Galloway, OH. We look forward to taking a group from our district.
Childrens camp continues to be the heart of children's ministry in our district. Each summer we host 250+ children
from our district along with 75+ volunteers for 2 weeks of kids camp. God always shows up in an amazing way.
We celebrated new salvations, recommitments and renewed energy.
We continue to strive for our district children’s ministry to be healthy, strong and thriving in all our local churches.
I believe that we have the best of the best children’s ministry leaders in our district. I am so thankful to serve with
each of them and will continue to do my very best to support them in their ministries.
Looking forward to the year ahead!

District Youth President’s Report
To District Superintendent LeRoy, Assistant Superintendent Mullins, Pastors and Friends,
The Youth Movement of the North Carolina East District is alive and well. We have seen God move in mighty ways
over the past year and we are excited about what God has planned in churches across our district. We have seen
students across our district who desire to let their light “Shine”. At Middle School Camp, Matt Rhodes challenged
our students to be faithful in their walk and shine bright for the Name of Jesus. At High School Camp, Kenneth
Wagner challenged our students to be authentic and contagious followers of Christ that others are drawn to the
light in their lives. We saw many students choose to be more than just followers and have heard stories of the
examples they have been at their home churches, communities and schools. We are thankful to Victory Mountain
Camp for their hospitality and to the NC East District for their support of our camping ministry.
I would like to say thank you to Phil Surrett, Stephen Tolan, Josh Keesling, Jason Weekly Todd Kemp and Brian
Charles for their help and friendship as part of our District Leadership Team. I am thankful for having the
opportunity to work with you this year. You are such an important part our team. Thanks to all of our youth
pastors for their investment in our district, our camps, our denomination and our students. Youth pastors, you
make a difference and I appreciate you. Thank you for all the long, unappreciated, underpaid hours that you invest
in our future leaders, pastors, teachers, doctors, and other young people who learn under your ministry and
teaching. You are important, your ministry is important, and we say thank you.
As DYP for the past 4 years, it has been a privilege to work with our youth pastors and district leadership. Thank
you Pastor Dan and Ernest for your friendship and personal investment in me. As my tenure as DYP ends and our
new DYP, Todd Kemp, steps in, I am confident that our District Youth Department is in great hands. I ask you,
District Family, to continue to support and pray for your students and leadership. God is still on the move and this
group of leaders will do a wonderful job as they continue to take the youth movement forward.
We are looking forward to another great camping year in 2015 as Matt LeRoy and Nate Kingsbury challenge our
students to “Reset” and wholeheartedly follow Jesus. We believe God has great things in store for camp this year
and we are thankful to everyone who has invested in our students.
Thanks again for all your prayers, love and support.

Radiant Girls’ Retreat
There are times in our lives where we may feel a “nudge” to do something that we may feel unequipped,
not good enough, not skilled enough, not old enough, not financially secure enough. It is easy to make
excuses or put off what God may be calling us to do.
This year’s Radiant theme was Infinite. By using the verses, “Now all glory to God, who is able, through
his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” (Ephesians
3:20 NLT) and “God is within her, she will not fall.” (Psalm 46:5) the team prayed that the attendees
would be challenged and empowered to follow through with whatever they were feeling “called to do”
with the understanding that with God, anything is possible. We used personal stories of girls who
attended Radiant to share ways they have gotten involved in mission projects overseas or locally and
teens who have started up youth outreach activities in their communities.
Jeanine Simmons from Love Chapel Hill was the speaker for the weekend. Paul and Heather Haithcock led
worship for the second year in a row. The weekend included three rallies and a Saturday morning worship
hour. The girls were encouraged to make thumbprint heart charms to take home as a reminder of their
unique qualities and skills they each have to offer in their homes, churches, communities, and the world!
For the first time at Radiant, the girls were offered the opportunity to take part in communion on Sunday
morning.
Radiant continues to grow in numbers with 207 teen girls and 41 leaders and counselors and additional
ministry support staff. The Radiant team includes ladies from the NC East and NC West Districts to lead
the weekend retreat that is open to teen girls 6th-12th grades from both districts.
The Radiant Girls’ Retreat met Friday evening through Sunday at noon, March 20-22, 2015 at Victory
Mountain Camp.
Saturday offered two one-hour options for participating in service projects and The Prayer Experience.
The young ladies were able to make scarves for homeless, address envelopes for Hephzibah Children’s
Home, write letters to inmates and complete various cleaning projects around the campground in
preparation for the camp season.
Prior to the event, the girls were challenged to collect coins in jars that had been decorated and sent
home during the previous year’s retreat as a part of Coins for Change. This year the Radiant team felt led
to donate to The Micah Movement. A total of $520.62 was raised and presented to The Micah Movement.
