On a mission to reach Eastern Kentucky and our world for Jesus Christ
In my annual report to the district assembly in June, I shared six district & local strategies for the coming years. Of those, three relate particularly to the local Church. They are: Strengthening district emphases; strengthening local churches; and strengthening evangelism & outreach. The first strategy is:
Strengthening District Emphases (“Co” = Together)
Through Communication (Printed and technology) – Communicating TO the local church is the
responsibility of our district organizational departments. The reason this topic is relevant to the local
church, however, is that communication is two-way. We’d like to also hear from the local church. What
exciting things are happening? What’s working? What isn’t? What are your hopes and dreams? Tell us
about your revivals and events that others may like to attend.
Through Connection (Together we’re strong, isolated we’re vulnerable)
Connecting with the whole district - There are various annual district events through which the local
churches can connect. We have district assembly & conventions; children’s, teen & family camps; SDMI
Team Day; NMI District Missionary Tour (Deputation); countless youth events; men’s & women’s events;
Mt. Vernon Nazarene University events; and children’s & teen Bible quizzing. Ask your pastor about
these.
Connecting with your zone – Our district is comprised of eight zones where churches are grouped together geographically. Many zones meet for revivals and special events. Why not join in?
Through Cooperation (Ministering together) - Local churches may also cooperate in ministry. Cooperation
on a VBS (share the props and the workers on different weeks); a shared revival to reduce costs; pastors
exchanging pulpits for a revival or other event; What about combined outreach events & service projects?;
Maybe share cantatas and other holiday events.
Wouldn’t it be great if we communicated, connected, and cooperated better? “Co” means together.
Together we’re strong. Isolated we’re vulnerable. I’d love to hear some of your thoughts and ideas on
these. Email me at [email protected].

Time to ask?
The Bible says "You have not cause you ask not." How
many people could you get into your church on the same
Sunday if you set a date and ask all of those associated
with your church to attend? Maybe send out letters to
your entire church family with date and time and ask
them to put it on their refrigerator to serve as a
reminder. How many people would come to your church
if everyone in your church started just extending a
friendly invitation to their family and friends to
come? How many people would get saved if we shared
our testimony, and then asked those close to us if they
would like to accept Jesus as their savior? How many
people might want to join your church as a member if
you extended them an invitation.
