Life can become hectic during the Christmas season.

From September 26-28, NDI held a special orientation training for the newly elected NDI district presidents at the Global Ministry Center. The orientation included presentations by the NDI global staff, NDI educational field coordinators, and regional ministry partners with special presentations by USA/Canada Regional Director Stan Reeder, Research Services Director Rich Houseal, and Nazarene Benefits USA Director of Operations Roger Creeden.

After much prayer and many interviews with many excellent candidates, Nazarene Discipleship International welcomes Rev. Ryan Nelson as our new disability ministry coordinator! This new five-year position, fully funded by a generous gift from the Lilly Endowment, will bless local Nazarene churches with resources and training for this greatly needed ministry to families and their children who struggle with disabilities.

As Christ-followers, we are to engage in Compassionate Outreach, so this is one of our Nazarene Discipleship International (NDI) core principles.
