Rev. Matt Oost
Canton First & Canton Eastside, Associate Pastor
Sunday June 5, 2016 was a day of exciting new beginnings in Canton. That was the day that Pastor Matt Oost began serving as an Assistant Pastor at both Canton Eastside and First Church. This is a new beginning for Matt, his wife Stephanie and their one year old daughter Anna as well as the two Canton churches. This is Matt's first official ministry assignment and it is the first ever Assistant Pastor for First Church and Matt may be the first Assistant Pastor to serve two churches on the Northwestern Illinois District.
Matt will be part-time for now and his major areas of focus will be in Discipleship and Technology. He will be partnering with Pa
stor Denny Owens with both churches. Matt and Stephanie are living in the parsonage at Eastside which has recently had some major upgrades. Matt will be coming alongside to give leadership to these already growing congregations as they seek to make fully committed disciples and impact the Canton area and beyond.
Matt is coming on board at a great time in the ministries of Eastside and First Church. His passion for discipleship and his skills in technology will be greatly utilized at this time. Matt and Stephanie are quality people who have a growing passion for Christ and His church. These are exciting days in Canton as they are looking to begin a new ministry in the Farmington area soon. The churches are part of a network of churches in Canton that is partnering in prayer for revival in the city. This network has 7 churches of 6 different denominations who have joined together for 7 prayer events over the past 10 months including one at the High School Auditorium with over 250 in attendance and involved at least 10 different denominations coming together to pray for the commun
ity.
The common statement around the Canton churches is "God is up to something special in Canton". Welcome aboard Pastor Matt, Stephanie and Anna, it is going to be a great ride!

Hope Grace Community Motorcycle Ministry
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Luke 10:2 NIV
May 28, 2016 marked the official launch of the Hope Grace Community Motorcycle Ministry. The entire NWIL District celebrates with Pastor David Smith and his Kingdom-minded people who have labored and given to see this ministry become a reality. May many people in the Quad-Cities and surrounding area come to know the Jesus, the Savior as a result of the investment these followers of Christ have made.
Launch Day began with an incredible breakfast at 9:00 am followed by a worship service at 10:15 am with National Evangelist from the Priesthood, Rev. Michael Benson, sharing from God's Word. The day was filled with numerous events including a bike show with over 30 bikes entered, a silent auction and a hog roast. Somewhere around 100 people were a part of the day which wrapped up with a 6:00 pm service. Rev. Michael Benson challenged everyone to be witnesses as Jesus commanded. He taught us all that we can be witnesses with a simple 8-word testimony just as the man who was born blind. "I once was blind, but now I see!" We can all share in the same manner.... "I once was ________, but now I _________!" What's your testimony?
Throughout the day, a number of people who had ridden in expressed an interest in becoming a part of the Motorcycle Ministry. Great days lie ahead for those who have taken this step of faith! To God be the Glory!

Rev. Bob Clardie retirement
Lost Lake Church began in August of 1998 when a group of 10 people from the Sterling First Church decided to plant a church in the Lost Nation area. We met in a church that was about 150 years old without running water or indoor facilities. It served us well for about 4 years at which time God helped us purchase land on a busy corner in the area. Shortly after that we built the building we are currently in. In just about 6 years we added on a fellowship and Sunday School area nearly doubling the size of the Church. God has richly blessed us over the years and we have experienced growth to about 100 people in attendance on an average Sunday. We have also been blessed to see many people find Christ and many others grow in their walk with the Lord. The Lord has also taken care of us financially and we will be paying off the mortgage on our addition in July and we will be debt free!
I feel so
fortunate to have been the Pastor of this Church for almost 18 years.
I remember when I was asked to lead the Church I agreed to d
o it for 6 months but God had a different plan for my wife, Pam an
d I. I am so glad we listened to Him it has been a
wonderful e
xper
ience and has made such a difference in our lives. We are looking forward
to our future and what God will do for us and Lost Lake Church.

Track your worry. Track your prayer.
Sometimes we just need a quick call to attention, a snap in the right direction. As I listened to a young man telling me about all of the anxiety and worry that he was suffering because of his annoyance with some of his leaders, I heard myself saying . . . out loud . . . "Well, that's quite a waste of time." This young person, who is also a budding leader himself, looked at me for explanation. I said, "If you could add up all the hours that you've spent worrying about and complaining about all of these things that annoy you, what would be the total?" He stammered and said, "I'm not sure, but it would be a lot." I said, "And, what about your prayer? How many hours have you spent in prayer asking God to bless this leader that you are annoyed by?" My young friend just hung his head. I affirmed him by saying, "Great leaders pray. Be a great leader. They don't waste their words and time speaking to the wind. I
nstead, they take everything to the Lord in prayer."
So, NWIL NYI, let's pray for our awesome youth pastors and youth leaders. They are ... very good. And, we are BLESSED to have them. Let's pray that the Lord would bless them in every way. Let's pray and ask the Lord to show us how to follow with gusto and pray without ceasing.
We are blessed to have an incredible youth ministry army on this district. When I see you at camp in just a few weeks, I want to experience the power and fullness of the Holy Spirit because of His grace
and your vigilant prayers. I'm joining you!
Ephesians 6:18. Your DP, Todd
P.S. I'm praising God now for the boys and girls and men and women who will come to know the Lord as their Savior through your faithful witness. Keep it up! You are that church!!!!

As you are going,
THINK BIG:
Every relationship, every interaction, all inclusive.
And make disciples,
START SMALL:
You. Be one. Be a Christ-like disciple. Re-present Jesus.
Baptizing them, immersing them in Jesus,
GO DEEP:
Pray. Empty yourself. Sacrifice.
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matt. 28:19-20

World Evangelism
Church of Excellence
Nazarene Missions International
For the outstanding achieved of giving at least 5.7% or $1,500 USD more than 5.5% of current income whichever is less, for the World Evangelism Fund.
Presented to District NMI President: Rev. Rene Kindle
GENERAL SUPERINTENDENTS' GROWTH AWARD
"I planted ...God made it grow? (1Corithians 3:6)
Awarded to: Point of Change
Rev. Todd Keller
The purpose of the General Superintendents' Growth Award (GSGA) is to give prominence to those practices that are central to the local and worldwide advancement of the church; specifically, new Nazarenes, significant involvement in sponsoring a new church, and 100%participation in fund allocations.
Scott Stearman was specially commissioned to sculpture "The Sower." This symbol was chosen because it represents the prerequisites of harvesting. It recalls the words of the Psalmist, "He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him." (Psalm 126:6) It draws directly from Paul's analogy, in 1 Corinthians 3:6, "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow."
* Churches that win people to Christ are healthy.
* Starting new churches is the most effective means of evangelism known to the church.
* Fund allocations are essential to the cooperative ministries of the Church of the
Nazarene.
New Nazarenes requirements are based on 10% of attendance for the current year.
The meaning of "significant involvement in sponsoring a new church" is very specific and is spelled out in the Sponsorship Criteria Worksheet. This worksheet is available online with the Local Forms packet.
Full participation in fund allocations includes district assignment, educational support, pensions (applicable to US only), and World Evangelism Fund.
* The requirements for receiving this award are intentionally high-it is special
recognition by the Board of General Superintendents.
* It is not based on attendance or membership.
* This award is not intended to replace all awards. Other
Global Ministry Centerentities will continue to offer their respective awards. Districts will continue to offer their awards.
This award is given in recognition of outstanding accomplishment in essential practices of the expansion of the kingdom of God through the Church of the Nazarene. The presentation of this unique and beautiful sculpture is intended to say "Thank You" to the receiving pastor and church, and to elevate in the consciousness of our people the compelling importance of winning people to Christ, starting new churches, and supporting the organizational structures that make possible evangelism around the world.

Organization of Point of Change
"Rev. Todd Keller and the launch team were commissioned by the Bloomington First Church of the Nazarene in 2012. Since that time, they have grown to 184 in worship, 201 in discipleship, and they have received 98 new Nazarenes in addition to their initial launch team. And they have already officially registered one new church, Point of Change Champaign which is a parent-affiliated congregation, and area dreaming about six more!" Rev. Scott Sherwood
"Two years ago, the delegation from Point of Change sat here in our district assembly as we, along with all of you, were challenged by our District Superintendent, Scott Sherwood and our General Superintendent, Jerry Porter to see the Lord for the number of people that we hoped to reach by the year 2020.
God had already been giving a number. God solidified that number: 7. It didn't mean 7 people or even 7 more people. It meant 7 new campuses, services, house churches, or efforts to reach lost people.
We don't know where we might go. And, we don't know how long we'll stay there.
We just want to get very good at obeying what Jesus tells us to do, trusting Him with the results.
At PoC we are engaged in a fierce pursuit of God and a fierce pursuit of others.
PoC Bloomington, PoC Saturday, PoC Champaign, PoC Preaching Points, PoC Missionary Community, PoC Oakland Ave, PoC Hispanic"
