Steak Wagon Available
Pastors,
please be aware that the District Light-for-the-Lost steak
wagon is available to you! The steak wagon can prepare
a New York strip (or any kind of grilled meat) at a very
modest price for your next
meal
event. No group is too large or small. Most churches can
add a baked potato, salad, and dessert for around $1 per
person more. Therefore, you can have a wonderful meal for
a great price. This can be a great fund raiser
for your next event. Take advantage of the steak wagon
by calling
Don Masten, District Light-for-the-Lost Director, at 308-876-2595.
Open
Church List
To
receive an open church list from the Nebraska District
Council, we need to receive a resume and letter of good
standing from your current District Superintendent. Once
these have been received and reviewed by our Superintendent,
an open church list will be sent. You can mail them to
Nebraska District Council, PO Box 1965, Grand Island, NE
68802.
Change of Address
If you are a minister
credentialed with our District and you have a change of
address, phone number or
email address, please email
us with that change as soon
as possible.
Screening
Of Volunteers or Local Church Employees
The
General Council and all the District Councils work with
ChoicePoint, the nation’s leading provider of identification
and credential verification services. As a church, you
need to do all you can to screen your volunteer workers
and keep the church a safe place to be. ChoicePoint offers
Volunteer Select as a tool to help you. For approximately
$2, you can perform a background check that offers social
security verification, a sex offender search and a national
criminal file search. Visit their website at www.volunteerselect.com or call 770-752-6177 for more information.
Another useful website, www.reducingtherisk.com,
will help you with online training of volunteers and also
has a resource center. Their website will help you make
your church safe from child sexual abuse.
Stewardship Website
Generousgiving.org has lots of free material (sermons, statistics, quotes,
teaching aids) available to pastors and church leaders
on the subject of stewardship.
Central
Bible College is offering the opportunity to learn from
CBC professors through online study. For more information
about registering, call 1-800-831-4CBC, extension 1800,
or visit them on the web at www.cbcag.edu/CL3.
The
Assemblies of God National Prayer Center is asking for
recruitment of churches and /or persons within
our Fellowship to pray for others in need.
The National Prayer Center has a two-fold ministry:
Satellite
Prayer Centers bring into a local church or home 1-800-4-PRAYER
callers who are seeking prayer. Volunteers
minister through scriptural prayer one-on-one with a caller
and many times have the privilege of leading someone to
Christ. Hundreds have come to God’s salvation in
Christ exactly in this manner. They lift before the throne
of God those who are in need of God’s intervention
in their lives.
International and National Intercessory Prayer Network
partners who serve with the National Prayer Center are
those who receive once a week our daily prayer requests.
We have approximately 60,000 who agree in prayer for every
need, which includes ten separate nations. Is anything
impossible with God when we are in unity?
If interested please contact Madonna Paulson, Coordinator at mpaulson@ag.org.
