2018 Easter Offering for the World Evangelism Fund
|
|
Go and make disciples of all nations..." Matthew 28:19
We must fix our sights on places where the church is not yet, engaging in intercessory prayer, sacrificial giving, and physically going to and mobilizing others to go to these places. Each time you give to the World Evangelism Fund, you send the message of the gospel into areas where "the church is not yet."

"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." Matthew 28:19-20
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.

BGS declares effective date for new Manual
The Board of General Superintendents declared December 1, 2017 as the effective date for the 2017-2021 Manual of the Church of the Nazarene.
In June 2017, the General Assembly commissioned the Manual Editing Committee to work on all resolutions that were adopted (or amended and adopted) by the Assembly. According to Manual par. 909, specific legislative language and updates (new or revised) are not deemed "official" until this committee's assignment has been completed, which was November 2017. Legislation affecting the Manual is now applicable.
A section of the General Assembly website,
ga2017.com/resolutions
, provided access to resolutions for General Assembly delegates and the general public prior to and during the 2017 General Assembly. This section is still available to anyone who wishes to access it, and no log-in is required.
The page contains folders for each of the original resolutions submitted to the General Assembly (available in English, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish). A Calendar of Resolutions was posted to this site in August 2017, which identifies the specific action (adopted, amended and adopted, rejected, or referred) taken for each resolution by the 2017 General Assembly. The resolutions are organized into separate folders by committees according to each resolution code.
--The Office of David P. Wilson, General Secretary

The Foundry Publishing launches new website
The Foundry Publishing (formerly Nazarene Publishing House) launched a new website in support of their rebranding effort.
TheFoundryPublishing.com will be the online e-commerce site for the brand and host The Foundry Community blog. The website release is one of the final steps in the rebranding of NPH.
The process of rebranding NPH began two years ago and was first
introduced at the 2017 General Assembly. This new brand will allow NPH to expand its market reach in order to impact a broader audience with the Wesleyan-Holiness message, according to CEO Mark D. Brown.
"Re-branding a 105-year-old-institution was no easy task," Brown said. "The process of making the decision to do business as The Foundry Publishing was bathed in prayer over a two-year period. Ultimately, our vision for the ministry of NPH is to take the Wesleyan-Holiness message to the world."
The Foundry name was chosen because it harkens back to John Wesley's first chapel, The Foundry Church, established in 1739 in London. The Foundry Church was the cradle of a new holiness theology as Wesley led congregants in a commitment to embrace justice and compassion as central to the gospel of Christ.
NPH began in 1912 with a mission to share a belief in holy living. For over a century, NPH provided resources for churches that relay this missional message.
"We are leaning into our rich holiness heritage to inform our strategic plan," Brown said. "We believe 'The Foundry' is a powerful metaphor that keeps us anchored in our past and yet propels us into the future."
Moving forward, The Foundry Publishing will focus on theology, spiritual formation, pastoral resources, and youth and children's ministry. For use in Spring 2018, The Foundry Publishing released a brand new suite of Adult Sunday School curriculum. In Fall 2018, a new youth and young adult curriculum, Faith for Life will be released. New Foundry Publishing releases include Understanding Your Muslim Neighbor, Edison Churches, Whatever Happened to Evangelicalism?, the recent church-wide initiative for Advent, Long-Expected Jesus, and the downloadable pastor's resource for Lent 2018, Experiencing Lent. With this rebrand comes the introduction of a new children's imprint, The Foundry Kids, creating ministry resources for children and families.
