L O O K I N G B A C K AT N A C C 2 0 1 7 T H I S I S F O R E V E RYO N E Gene Appel, NACC 2017 President My heart is full and my soul is overflowing with gratitude to God for the many ways he moved in Kansas City and reminded us that his heart and his house is for EVERYONE. Thank you to all who served, registered, prayed or supported.

This is an exciting era of new momentum for the North American Christian Convention as we break new ground and become even more focused for a new day of kingdom advancement through the Restoration Movement. The Kansas City gathering gave us just a little glimpse of the future of the NACC with a greater commitment than ever to encourage and equip leaders who inspire a movement of healthy growing churches. People really embraced the new start time on Tuesday afternoon as over 2300 attended Craig Groeschel’s focus on leadership, and the new After Party at the conclusion of Thursday night was off the charts with food, games, laughter, reunions, live music! One moment I’ll never forget is the sight of 700 millennials coming forward as we prayed, cheered, and wept over a whole new generation of kingdom change makers.

Finally, I want to say what a privilege it has been to serve as the 2017 president. I’ve been attending the NACC since I was 4 years old. What an honor to give a little something back to a gathering that has given me more than I could ever repay. I hope to see you in Indianapolis next summer!

I N YO U R OW N WO R D S : T H I S I S F O R E V E RYO N E I am a 31-year-old who began his first Senior Ministry role two years ago. On Saturday, I officiated my first infant funeral. Between three sermons on Sunday and working ahead on Monday, I came to the NACC deeply unsettled and tired in my soul. When Gene Appel spoke of “family” here at the NACC, it restored a bit of my hope.

We, as ministers, might be lonely, but we are not alone.

I loved the 7 for 7 speakers. It was both cohesive and diverse!

We took our grandchildren, ages 12 and 14. Our 14-year old granddaughter is very self-directed and plans on a career as a physician. She appreciated the personal attention she received at the college booths. Very much appreciated the information that some of our colleges do have courses that would allow her to complete a pre-med program. Milligan and Central were especially helpful. Participating in the service project and learning about Lifeline Missions made her realize on her own that she could use that career choice for the Lord.

I really liked the emphasis each night on different groups that come to the convention such as the young people and preachers kids.

There have been years when our family was struggling and the NACC made all the difference. This year, when things are going well, it just reassured us. Thank you!

Great convention! Thank you, Gene and all involved in planning and execution. Especially appreciated the specific prayer times for different groups (church planters, ministers and families, those born after ‘84).

After registering, I reunited with someone with whom I ministered with 30 years ago in a new church work. Shortly after, I was able to connect with someone I ministered with in prison ministry 35 years ago. Through him, I was able to connect with others I had not seen in decades. A great reminder of that Great Reunion in heaven!

The after-party was awesome. Thanks for a fun time as a family!

We serve an unchanging God. From Genesis to Revelation, every page This same Good News that came to you is going out all of the Bible is a testimony to his love and faithfulness. over the world. It is bearing Yet the scriptures also reveal a God who is constantly calling his people fruit everywhere by changing to change. For the Israelites that meant leaving Egypt and conquering lives, just as it changed your a Promised Land. For the exiles it was learning how to be the people of lives from the day you first God in uncertain times. Mary birthed a Savior, the disciples struggled heard and understood the to understand a new kingdom, and Paul repented and recovered from truth about God’s wonderful a blinding light of understanding. When God shows up, when Jesus grace. speaks, when the Spirit moves, things begin to change in the world - Colossians 1:6 and in our own lives.

Next summer, we will be reminded how the life, the teaching, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus continue to challenge us and call us forward. Our God is making all things new and he is moving in our movement, and at the 2018 NACC we will see how THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

How do I manage change? How do I create a culture of discipleship, of generosity, of outreach?

How do I grow my congregation and reach people for Christ? At NACC 2018, you can “huddle up” with experts, coaches, and mentors who will listen to your struggles and share their experiences. Each Huddle will focus on a specific ministry topic and will consist of discussion groups of 8 participants.

You will receive personal help while building an action plan and connections to other leaders that will last beyond the NACC. Whether you’re leading a church of 100, 200, or 800, Huddles will help. For the list of topics and more information, visit www.gotonacc.org/huddles!
