During the 30th General Assembly and Conventions, a new event took place: GA Kids! From June 9-11, there were numerous intentional age-specific services and resources created for early childhood and elementary children. This included speakers, special guests, games, and messages that coincided with the theme of the main worship services.

In January, NDI, in partnership with Wonderful Works Ministry, submitted a proposal to the Lilly Endowment to provide special resourcing to USA and Canada churches with the goal of equipping our churches to become more accessible to people with disabilities. We are pleased to announce that the proposal was approved, and NDI received a grant to support this five-year initiative.

Rev. Susan Booth, one of six nominees, was elected by the NDI Global Council to serve as the NDI representative on the General Board of the Church of the Nazarene.
