This gives each church an opportunity to become personally acquainted with the missionary family and their field of service. Through regular correspondence with the missionaries, updates from their field, and even through deputation services while the missionaries are on home assignment. The missionaries are encouraged, knowing people care and pray for them. The relationships built over time personalize names and faces that both the missionaries and they LINKS churches value highly.

Or in other words, “To tell stories and ask questions, like Jesus did.” Description: How do you disciple the twenty-something’s who don't or won’t read? Are you frustrated with the level of Biblical ignorance among the common church members? Does your teaching and preaching seem to land on Teflon hearts where nothing seems to stick? Learn how to tell THE Bible story so that it sticks like Velcro in people’s hearts. This simple, yet profound method is easily and quickly reproduced so that disciples can become disciple-makers. Discover a powerful resource that has multiplied thousands of disciples. !

The theme for the year was LIFEAPPS where Michael Pigg, the South Texas District NYI President, spoke to the students about living out our faith through life application. He emphasized the inward disciplines (meditation, prayer, fasting and study), outward disciplines (simplicity, solitude, submission and service), and communal disciplines (confession, worship, guidance and celebration) of this idea, and challenged students to practice these more in their life. Remedy, the SNU Worship Band led us in worship and the SNU Crew helped lead the small groups for students. Having great young leaders investing in the lives of our youth was such a blessing. The students also had opportunities to participate in games like Kiddie Pool Kickball, water balloon volleyball and Trash can ball as well as activities like quizzing, swimming and Super Book to finish out the week. At the end of the week the Dee Boyt Cup was awarded to the team with the most points during the week and this year’s winners were The Phoenix. Overall the week was a lot of fun, but more importantly God met us at Rocky Creek and helped to radically change the lives of the students on the Louisiana District, whether it was a prayer of salvation, a deeper walk with Jesus, or even submitting to a calling of God, each student was impacted for Christ and we Praise God for it. Thank you to all who supported camp this year for without your prayers and support Super Camp would not be the life changing week for our students. — David Hater A newsletter for the Louisiana District Church of the Nazarene NYC 2015 was amazing! God was present! From July 8-12, God moved, called, equipped, and empowered those present at the conference. The students and adults who attending NYC will be forever changed because of this “once in a lifetime” opportunity. God’s kingdom is real! Before NYC began, we met with Chad, the youth pastor of New Breed Church. New Breed is a newstart church in the west side of Louisville, KY. The Shawnee community is an underprivileged part of town. The majority of people live in poverty. Chad led us on a prayer walk around the community. We met a couple of the church members. God is doing some great things in this community! Please remember the Shawnee community when you pray. Racism is very real in this part of town. But God can break those barriers! A newsletter for the Louisiana District Church of the Nazarene For our Mission With Others (MWO) project, we worked with Uspiritus, the largest orphanage organization is Kentucky. We cleaned a creek and organized clothes. We also got a chance to meet a few of the kids (we were not allowed to take their pictures). Please pray for Uspiritus as they minister to kids and families in Kentucky. When NYC registration began, our students, who had collected baby clothes, diapers, and other things babies need, brought “bundles of hope.” These bundles of hope will help serve over 200 organizations and countless families in the Louisville area. Again, God moved in a mighty way at NYC! Thank you for your support during our time in Louisville, KY. May God continue to bless our students, youth workers, pastors, and churches as we continue to seek Him and His kingdom on earth. Thy Kingdom Come!
