Welcome to nacc

From Matt Proctor, 2013 NACC President Welcome to the 2013 NACC! Louisville has a long association with victory. It’s the hometown of Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby and Louisville Slugger bats. Johnny Unitas played football at the University of Louisville, and the Cardinal men’s and women’s basketball teams made this year’s Final Four. A lot of winners have walked the streets of this city!

But as you arrive this week, you may not be feeling like a winner. Maybe you’re facing a tough ministry, tight finances, family conflict or a health crisis. Maybe you’re limping off the playing field feeling discouraged, even defeated.

But God’s got a great week in store for you! As you meet old friends and make new ones, God’s people will encourage you. As you worship and pray, God’s Spirit will refresh you. In the workshops and seminars, God’s wisdom will equip you, and with each message from Revelation, His Word will shoot adrenaline through your soul. Despite life’s challenges, there is hope: in Christ we are VICTORIOUS. So thanks for coming, and let’s pass that encouragement to others—whether a busy hotel employee, tired restaurant server or a hurting Christian brother. Prepare to walk the streets of Louisville like a winner!

The NACC Board of Stewards Chairman, Prayer Chairman, Local Arrangement Committee Chairmen, and Managing Director would also like to welcome you. Please see their letters on page 87 and page 89.

Encounter Christ Powerfully Matt Proctor Rev 1

On Tuesday evening, Matt Proctor will open with Revelation 1, reminding us that if we are to be victorious, we need a powerful vision of Christ.

In Revelation 1, Jesus is not a meek and mild-mannered Mr. Rogers Messiah. He is a huge and towering figure, the Lion of Judah who will not be tamed, powerful enough to confront our sin and to comfort our fears.

Welcome to nacc

NACC Main Session Tuesday 7:00 p.m.

In high school, Matt Proctor was a National Merit finalist who enrolled at the University of Iowa as a journalism major. After hearing God’s call, he transferred to Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri.

Now instead of broadcasting the bad news, he is proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.

Matt has served as a youth minister, preaching minister, Bible college professor and is now president of Ozark Christian College. His writing includes a book entitled 2 Timothy: Finish-Line Faith (2009), and he serves as a contributing editor for Christian Standard magazine, as well as president of the 2013 North American Christian Convention. He enjoys reading, cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals, and travelling widely to preach about Jesus.

Matt is especially grateful to God for his wife Katie and their six children — Luke, Lydia, Clara, Carl, Conrad and Caroline.

Testimony Wing Wong

Wing Wong has been a missionary to the Chinese in China since 1974 after he graduated from Platte Valley Bible College (now Summit Christian College) in Nebraska. He also has a M.Div. degree from Lincoln Christian Seminary. Wing has started a Chinese Christian Church, a Gospel radio program and a Bible Institute in Hong Kong before he moved on to plant house churches and train church leaders in China.

Currently, Wing is partnering with Restoration House Ministries in New Hampshire to plant churches and train leaders of more than thirty churches. Wing is developing a team of dedicated and academically qualified Chinese leaders to start a church planting movement in Western China by 2020.

Love the Church Honestly Aaron Brockett Rev 2-3

On Wednesday morning, Aaron Brockett will walk us through the seven churches in Revelation 2-3.

The churches are a mess—just like the ones we know. But Jesus still loves these churches, and we’ll be challenged to love our own imperfect congregation.

Welcome to nacc

NACC Main Session Wednesday 10:00 a.m.

Aaron Brockett is the Lead Pastor of Traders Point Christian Church in Indianapolis, IN. Aaron was raised in Joplin, Missouri and graduated from Ozark Christian College. He began preaching while in college and, with his wife Lindsay, planted a church in California soon after graduation.

Aaron and Lindsay are blessed with four great kids, Conor, Campbell, Kennedi, and Kadence. Aaron is passionate about people and helping them begin a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Testimony Nonato Silva

Nonato Silva came to Christ because of a bottle of coke! He’s the youngest of a family of thirteen.

Born in one of the poorest states of Brazil, he studied because of the determination of his mother and the help of many friends. He graduated with honors from Ozark Christian College in 1990 with a Bachelor of Christian Education. He went back to Brazil and became the preacher in his home church where he has served for the last 23 years. He and his wife Tanya are blessed with three children: Thalis, Nadya and Ian. He’s always ready to share a smile, to talk about heaven, and to eat homemade hash browns with bacon and eggs!

Endure Suffering Patiently Jon Weece Rev 6-9

On Wednesday evening, Jon Weece of Southland Christian Church in Lexington will take us through the trials of Revelation 6-9: war, famine, murder, earthquakes.

When we suffer, we sometimes ask, “How long, Sovereign Lord?” (Rev 6: 10). But God’s people endure patiently because we know a time is coming when “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes” (Rev 7:17).

Welcome to nacc

Desire Heaven Deeply

Joni Eareckson Tada Rev 21-22 To close the convention on Friday morning, special guest Joni Eareckson Tada will take us on a tour of the new heavens and new earth in Revelation 21-22.

Sometimes we can get wrapped up thinking about this world and fail to focus on the next. But when this lady who has spent the last 45 years in a wheelchair as a quadriplegic speaks, I think we will all find our hearts stirred with a longing for heaven. As we head home, we’ll all be looking forward to Home!

Joni Eareckson Tada, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Joni and Friends International Disability Center, is an international advocate for people with disabilities. A diving accident in 1967 left Joni Eareckson, then 17, a quadriplegic in a wheelchair, without the use of her hands. After two years of rehabilitation, she emerged with new skills and a fresh determination to help others in similar situations.

Welcome to nacc

During her rehabilitation, Joni spent long months learning how to paint with a brush between her teeth. Her high-detail fine art paintings and prints are sought-after and collected.

Her best-selling autobiography, Joni, and the feature film of the same name have been translated into many languages, introducing her to people around the world.

Other commands are clearly implied. Four times in the book there is this phrase, "This calls for..." There are commands to repent, to hear, to be faithful, to wake up, to come out, and to praise God to mention just a few. Each day, some of the primary imperatives of the Book of Revelation will be studied in their context with application given for today.

far too many churches and youth ministries only unintentionally stumble into these things opting to program and plan toward the typical youth ministry activities and relationships. Although these things are important, bringing an intentional intergenerational tone to youth ministry creates an important shift that many are making and results are measurable. Discover what Sticky Faith churches are doing to redefine their youth and church ministries to help kids have a faith that sticks past high school.

Sticky Families: From Carpools to Chemistry Homework, Helping Parents Build Everyday Faith GALT HOUSE HOTEL, SUITE TOWER, FRENCH • THURSDAY 4:30 - 6:00 Jeff Mattesich, Sticky Faith, Fuller Youth Institute

Far too often parents and caretakers leave the “spiritual” stuff to the professionals. We have given parents the message that the Church and youth ministry will take care of all your needs. Yet, according to our Sticky Faith research, parents are an incredibly influential model for how their child understands faith (in many ways, the most important). Far too many parents are intimidated by the mere thought of talking about faith with their children. Discover how families are facing their fears and building relationships with their students. Examine how parents are creating simple but powerful rhythms to build long term faith in their children. This session includes a Bonus Q&A discussion on issues related to intergenerational ministry.

“Soul Care,” Matt Agnew galt house: Stopher

In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says, ““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” There are times in our lives where we need to find rest. We need a place to

come and lay all of our worries and anxieties down.

Maybe you a struggling with a type of addiction or you are trying to find a place of acceptance. Jesus tells us to come to Him and He will give you rest.

During this workshop we will discuss ways to find victory of some of the personal struggles and hurts in our lives.

Workshop facilitator Matt Agnew is a 22 year veteran of Student Ministry. He serves as Pastor of Student Ministries/Executive Director of The Bridge @ Chandler Christian Church in Chandler, AZ. The Bridge is a unique ministry that draws hundreds of middle school and high school students each week.

Mike is the high school minister and contemporary worship leader at Tates Creek Christian Church in Lexington, KY. He has a wife, Lauren, and three beautiful children, Peyton, Nolan, and Cameron. He loves Indiana basketball!

Discover the role your story plays in a bigger story.

Ask yourself the questions that matter. Live the life you’re called to: true identity revealed.

Katy is a life-long student in pursuit of her M.Div. at Emmanuel Christian Seminary in Johnson City, TN.

What are the biggest fears of sharing Jesus? Is there a wrong or right way to share Jesus? How do I share Jesus? God is not a secret to be kept will answer these and other questions about sharing Jesus.

Chris Kiger, Associate Minister to Youth, First Christian Church, Elizabethtown KY. Chris is busy loving his wife Angie of 21 years; keeping up with his boys Sam(16), David(15), Joe(13), and Ben(11); and finding time to follow the Tar Heels and Red Sox.

“Worship in Revelation,” Justin Mosteller galt house: Stopher

Revelation is full of powerful imagery about life yesterday, today and forever. Unfortunately because of some of that imagery we tend to stay away, afraid of being confused more than we already are. This letter has some amazing things to say in regards to worship in both the unseen and seen.

Justin Mosteller is a singer/songwriter & worship minister. He and his wife Sara, along with their daughter Elliana Grace, live in Cincinnati, OH. Justin is the lead singer of our worship band this week, Mosteller, as well as the worship minister at Center Pointe Christian Church.

“The Called,” Jared Fox and Jon miser galt house: Coe

As students who exist to amplify Jesus’ life giving love to those around us, we live as those who are Called by God to live our lives by God’s standards, not the standards of our surroundings. God invites us to a better path to live in a way that is countercultural. As the church (ekklesia - called out ones), there is a set of expectations that God has for us.

Truth is based on God’s truth. There is tension between where and how we are living and what God is calling us to—this is a better way of life that God has for us.

Jared Fox has been married to his wife Sarah for six years. They have one son and one daughter on the way. He is the High School Pastor at Mountain Christian Church and a graduate of Cincinnati Christian University. He finds great joy in spending time with his family, reading, playing basketball, watching movies and celebrating UK national championships.

“When School Feels Like an Island: Community and Revelation,“ Laura Buffington galt house: French

Even though John seems to be isolated on the island of Patmos, his message is concerned with whole communities. He paints a lot of pictures of people worshipping and battling together. We need to build stronger friendships and stay connected to the church if we’re going to play a part in the biggest story ever.

Laura grew up in Columbus, Ohio and went to church a lot. She moved to Tennessee to attend Milligan College and Emmanuel Christian Seminary.

A Letter from

ChrIst’s ChurCh Camden Hey Y’all, I want to thank each of you at Christian Financial Resources for simply believing in Christ’s Church. We are completely humbled and blown away by how faithful our God is...our attendance more than doubled on Easter Sunday!

We had been preparing for Easter weekend for several months, including amping up our marketing through radio and television advertising, Facebook, Google, and 5,000 direct mailers. We also kicked off a new message series called, “Faith. Family. Ducks.” based off of Duck Dynasty, which really hit home in our neck of the woods! When’s the last time you walked into a church on Easter Sunday only to find half the I have to believe that congregation decked out in camo?

We encouraged each person in our congregation to take a leap of faith with us and invite at least 10 people to Easter service. The response was overwhelming!

Here is what we witnessed on Easter weekend: • Total attendance: 1760 • 9 accepted Christ for the first time • 21 rededicated their lives to Christ • We launched our first Saturday night service, and 409 attended • 40% of the congregation was deployed to a variety of service areas

without CFR by our side

over the past several years, we wouldn’t have experienced

such an amazing Easter weekend

...thank you!

CFR has played a significant role in our growth. I have to believe that without CFR by our side over the past several years, we wouldn’t have experienced such an amazing Easter weekend. We are so thankful for the entire staff at CFR as they continue to utilize their gifts and passions for the cause of Christ...thank you!

Be Blessed, Scott Clevenger Lead Pastor, Christ’s Church Camden, Kingsland, Georgia

North American Christian Convention www.gotonacc.org

welcome letters The North American Christian Convention (NACC) provides ideas, inspiration, and identity to Restoration Movement churches, ministries, and their leaders. The NACC began in 1927. The NACC attracts both vocational and non-vocational Christian leaders and their families. The NACC does not represent nor does it belong to an official denominational organizational structure of polity. Representatives from the NACC Leadership have written you welcome letters in their own words. We are so glad you could join us!

David Eubanks NACC Board of Stewards Chairman

We are expecting this convention to build on the “Louisville tradition.” Matt Proctor and his executive committee have developed a marvelous program that will bless all who attend. As always, the NACC will provide an ideal setting for us to connect and reconnect with new and old friends, as we are reminded, challenged, and inspired concerning the victory that Jesus rescued for us through His death, resurrection and promised return.

While you are here and after your return home, may God bless you with a renewed assurance of that victory.

Chris Dewelt 2013 NACC National Prayer Chairman What an incredible theme we have this year: Victorious!

This year’s North American Christian Convention will have many opportunities for all who gather in Louisville to come humbly before the Father seeking as one body, “Thy kingdom come! Thy will be done!”

Here are a few of the prayer components for the 2013 NACC. •

A Passion for Prayer - Prayer testimonies will be given by international Christian leaders during the main sessions. These testimonies are directly correlated to the main theme of that particular session, and speak of God answering prayer in powerful ways.

•

A Place for Prayer – This year there is a prayer room that is easily accessible and highly useful.

•

A People of Prayer - The “Unleashed for the Unreached” prayer wall is here with us at this year’s NACC. The prayer wall focuses attention on the unreached people groups of the world.

Here you can come and pray for specific peoples of the earth who do not have the Gospel. Staffing is available to assist and to provide take-home materials for an ongoing commitment to prayer.

The victory of the cross of Christ today begins with His daily victory in our hearts. This is best seen in a life of prayer. May NACC 2013 exemplify a people of prayer fully abandoning themselves to their victorious King!

Tim Anderson 2013 NACC Local Arrangements Co-Chairperson Welcome to the NACC in Louisville, KY from your brothers and sisters of Southern Indiana and Louisville. The NACC has always been a special time for my family. My father who is a preacher would travel with my mom and four children from Mississippi where we would be inspired and encouraged by the gathering of thousands of believers. Those gatherings strengthened us to keep serving through tough times and awed us by learning what others were doing to advance the Kingdom.

What a difference the NACC made in our lives and the lives of others.

resources to explore

On behalf of the Board of Stewards, I extend to you a hearty welcome to the North American Christian Convention. We are thrilled to be back in Louisville, Kentucky, where several great conventions have met before. In fact, Louisville was the site of my first NACC back in 1966. Our beloved Hugh Sensibaugh was the president. To get here, I made my first trip in an air conditioned car. I still remember the wonderful singing, powerful preaching, and grand fellowship.

This room is available to all who wish to have moments alone with Jesus, or with people who can pray together with you. Look for the special banners that lead to the prayer room.

That is why it is such a joy for me to serve alongside such wonderful servants from Kentucky and Indiana.

We are all excited to meet each of you and we pray that this year’s convention will enhance your service to the Lord.

The convention this year will provide tremendous opportunities to be encouraged and empowered for the Kingdom. I pray you find that your needs are met and your ministry is renewed as you attend all the workshops, main sessions and reunions of your choosing. Embrace the encouragement and be “Victorious” as you return to your local ministries. We are thrilled that you are here.

Welcome Letters Continued from previous page

Greetings from Louisville, Kentucky.

Hi Y’All...or is it Hey, You All? I guess it doesn’t really matter how the greeting is given if it’s from a heart that longs to share the love of Christ and His gracious fellowship. I’m grateful that each of you will be coming to our home, so we can try and make it feel like home to you.

Our theme this year is “Victorious.” It’s the overriding message found in the book of Revelation. And for each of us who serve in the Kingdom of God that message is one we need every single day. And for some of you it’s a message that’s sorely needed in your soul as you come from the front lines of battle... or maybe you’re the mate, or child of the warrior serving in the heat of battle. I think that might be even a more difficult place. And you need to hear again how we win...how we overcome instead of being overcome. We are indeed “Victorious,” in Christ Jesus our Lord!!!

So many servants have been hard at work preparing and praying for your visit, and I have to tell you that God has been at work in each of their lives as they prepare to share with you. You may not be able to attend every session or visit at every booth, but I can promise you that there will be something available constantly to repair your soul, encourage your heart and remind you of the victory.

Matt Proctor shared his heart with us at Fern Creek Christian Church, where I serve. Passion and compassion flowed out of every pore of his body. As he shared about workshops, the main speakers, the student convention and many of the other special offerings it made all the efforts of our local arrangement team worthwhile...each smiling face that greets you, or volunteer who serves you will be an extension of God’s people serving together. Some you’ll see, others you won’t.

I have a son who returned from combat not too long ago. His mother and I will never forget the pride and the fear. After 18 months in the middle of the streets of Baghdad he came home. It’s my favorite homecoming so far. I longed for it with every fiber of my being. And when I held him...well, you get the picture.

One day the One we love the most is going to return.

We are still on the battle field. I need...you need to be reminded of the victory. Until one day...and that Homecoming will be “Victorious.” I’ll look forward to seeing All Y’All July 9-12 here in Louisville.

Larry D. Collins NACC Managing Director and Meeting Planner Welcome to the 2013 NACC VICTORIOUS! Thank you for joining us in Louisville! I know that it is hard to schedule the time, find the resources, and plan the trip, but YOU made it happen. You have come to the right place. May you find a special blessing for your life this week. We are here to celebrate the VICTORY we have in Jesus, so let your light shine with everyone you meet, as the Message of REVELATION is proclaimed.

The NACC, through its leadership and a dedicated staff, have worked very hard to make sure that your experience will be rewarding and filled with vision, learning, encouragement, fellowship, and prayer.

Much has been planned to ensure that your visit will enrich you and all those who came with you. We are joined by many key program leaders, and service partners, who will be working diligently to make sure you have a wonderful experience.

Over 20 local churches are also involved with close to 1,000 local volunteers to help with this event in all facets of your “NACC Experience.” You will see them in worship, workshops, special events, student and children’s programming, and assisting and serving in related areas all throughout your visit. Remember that they are serving out of appreciation for YOU and what you do for the Kingdom back home, so ENJOY yourself and HAVE FUN while you are here, as you are among FAMILY.

North American Christian Convention www.gotonacc.org

We hope that the primacy of prayer is obvious at this year’s Convention! This is only a part of what is happening prayer-wise at this year’s NACC! May the Lord receive the incense of our prayers before His great throne!

The Prayer Wall RIVERSIDE LOBBY Come to the Prayer Wall and see a powerful display depicting the peoples of the world who are in dire need of the presence of the Lord’s victorious kingdom. Here you will be challenged both to pray on the spot as well as to take home a commitment card to pray regularly for the unreached The Prayer Room RIVERSIDE LOBBY Situated in an area of high traffic, a comfortable prayer room stands ready for you to pray with someone or by yourself. Prayer teams will be available during high traffic hours, but the room is also available to all whenever the convention hall is open. Follow the banners near the escalators to the Prayer Room!

Prayer Texting This year a prayer team stands ready to share in prayer with you via texting. If you have a need or a victory that you would like to share, there is a dedicated number for you to message.

Stageside Prayer Response Area This space near the main stage has three uses: 1. It is for those who are moved to pray following each main session. Prayer teams are on hand to assist.

2. An opportunity is also given for people to come and pray with our international guests who will be giving powerful testimonies in each main session. Come and pray with and for them!

3. Prayer teams will be on hand during each main session praying for God to be at work among His people as each session progresses.

Leaders’ Conversation Center

Christian Churches Disability Ministry (Galt House Hotel, Suite Tower, Stanley)

So There’s This Kid…The Mission Field Next Door So there’s this kid in your community who is longing for a place to connect and doesn’t know Jesus. He feels forgotten and alone; like an outsider. He is a student with a disability, and there are millions just like him who the church is missing. Come learn about some common disabilities, and common misconceptions about reaching this overlooked population. You’ll leave with practical tips for engaging students with disabilities in your ministry and connect with ministry leaders who are excited to walk with you as you champion inclusion in your community.
