Computer Science + eSports Camp

The Computer Science Department is partnering with the eSports Program here at Olivet to host a one-day camp (Thursday, July 21st) highlighting information and educating high schoolers about both industries/disciplines.

Ready to learn more about Cybersecurity and how to be safer online? Interested in computers and programming? Do you love gaming? Are you wanting to learn more about the eSports scene and see a collegiate program?

Olivet Nazarene University is hosting a Computer Science + eSports Camp, where you will engage in hands-on experiences in the computer science industry, learning more about how companies use computers and see what you’ll need to be a Cybersecurity expert.

Part of the camp will focus on another application of Computer Science: eSports. A growing field, eSports can be confusing to get into and understand. At the camp, you will learn more about eSports and be able to test your skills. PRINTABLE FLYER

Congratulation James!!" Pastor Ron Jansen

OLIVET ONLINE MASTERS PROGRAM

Give a GIFT that doesn't stop Giving!

Would you give $1.00 a month if it never stopped giving, never wore out, never changed its usefulness or purpose and transformed lives?

The Church Multiplication Endowment Fund is designed to reach unreached people living on the NWIL District for Christ. Every dollar given will continue to give in perpetuity. An endowment fund uses the interest from the principle to do kingdom work.  Will you help fund this goal? 

Currently, our district property funds have been invested in planting 22 new churches these past three years and the district is in need of capital to continue to plant more! We need your help. Presently, there are 36 more potential church plants in various stages of planning which will require additional funding support.

Would you consider a GIFT of $1.00 a month?  We are not trying to take money from your local ministry where you give your tithes and offerings. We are asking for many to give a little.  Our initial goal is 5,000 giving at least $1.00 a month. Would you be one of those 5,000 making a commitment to create a movement to plant churches that change lives?  Here are ways to give:

• You can give to your local church by marking your check or cash gift "NWIL CM Endowment" and your church treasurer will take it from there.
• You can also choose to give online if you want to set up one time or reoccurring payments using debit/credit/Electronic Check on the district website at nwilnaz.org/GIVE/ On District Church Planting or direct  CM Endowment Giving LINK. Or scan this QR code at the bottom of this article.
• You can send a check or cash to NWIL District, 3520 Broadway St., Pekin, IL 61554 (please indicate CM Endowment on check memo)

We are also looking for those who might like to make greater kingdom investments!

You can give cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, livestock, grain, or other personal property.  Basically, any asset of marketable value can be used to help fund this endowment. There are also charitable gift annuity options that allow you to specify the endowment fund or another ministry of your choice while allowing you to receive income for your lifetime and when you pass, your gift goes to the endowment fund or specified ministry. CLICK HERE  to see other ways to model generosity. Gifts can be given in memory or in honor of someone. 

Large or small: Why not leave a lasting legacy that lasts more than your lifetime. 

For more information or confidential consultation please contact NWIL District Administrator, Jim Book 309-678-2357; NWIL District Treasurer, Ray Barker 309-645-7716; or the Nazarene Foundation directly at 913-577-2983.
