More and Better Disciples

By Darrel Rowland Eyebrow waxing, dancing, and a full-fledged mariachi band. It”s not quite the holy trinity of women”s ministry at Mountain Christian Church. But it sure helps get the buzz going in the community. More important, it”s all part of bringing women closer to Jesus and making more and better disciples by helping them take a step on their journey with Jesus “We try to offer something to women on both ends of the spectrum of discipleship,” said Susan Owens, who is on staff with the small groups team at the Joppa, Maryland, church that averages about 4,500 in

An Invitation from the NACC President

It is my earnest desire that after attending this year”s NACC, you and I””God”s church””will never be the same. If you have not been to the NACC in recent years, you may not be aware of the truly remarkable conventions we have been having. The NACC is the place to connect and network with people of the same faith. Men, women, ministers, missionaries, and educators from around the world come for a spiritually rejuvenating time of worship, fellowship, Bible studies, workshops, preaching, and teaching from some of the best Christian leaders in the country. I think it is the best

Why Is the NACC Important? I Go for My Family

by Brent Storms Â Our family attended the North American Christian Convention in Louisville in 1981 when I was 8 years old. My brother was 6, and our sister was a baby. My parents wanted to attend the Ozark Bible College reception to reconnect with some of their classmates and friends. They did not want to keep my brother and me up late. So they locked us in our hotel room. Really, they did. They explained to us that they were not leaving the building. They would be right downstairs in one of the hotel ballrooms. We were instructed to

NACC Women”s Conference Returns for a Second Year

by Jennifer Taylor Last year, Judy Russell led a team that planned a new event at the 2008 NACC””a “conference within a conference” just for women. This first NACC Women”s Conference included special events, a “Gathering Place” for conversation and connection, and special promotion. From the workshops to the tea just for minister”s wives, the 2008 team did a great job creating something new for ladies at the North American. Because of the positive response to this programming, the women”s conference will continue at this year”s convention! We”re keeping the best from 2008, adding a few new touches, and planning

Another Visit with an Old Friend

ABy Mark A. Taylor s I get older I”m frequently surprised by the age of some people I”ve always considered young. Young people are getting older these days! Like Jeff Stone. I remember him well when he was a child. But now he”s the salt-and-pepper-headed president of this year”s North American Christian Convention. He said he wanted some perspectives from “younger leaders” for this special convention preview issue. Good idea. The only problem is that none of the writers this week is under 30, only two are under 40, and at least one of them is closer to 60. But

2008 NACC Women”s Conference: The Best Part Is in the Middle

By Julie Gariss If you”ll excuse the pun, I”m a sucker for Tootsie Pops. Even though I will gladly risk a purple tongue for the melt-in-your-mouth, dribble-down-your-chin pleasure of the hard candy shell, it”s what is inside that round mound that truly excites my taste buds . . . chocolate! You just can”t beat finding a treasure inside of what is already considered a prize. The NACC has long been known as the prize of the Restoration churches””inspirational preaching, great fellowship, and motivational workshops. I will never forget the first one I attended back in the 1970s””I was literally moved
