Nazarenes from around the world will gather next month in Johannesburg, South Africa, for the denomination's third global theology conference. The Board of General Superintendents (BGS) is calling on Nazarenes to join in a month of prayer for this historic and impactful event.

The prayer emphasis will begin on February 23 and continue throughout the conference, which takes place March 23-27, 2014.

Sponsored by the BGS and the International Board of Education, Global Theology Conference III offers opportunity for 300 invited leaders, representing the six world regions of the Church of the Nazarene, to be involved. Participants include clergy and laity who serve in various leadership roles throughout the international church.  Conference papers and conversation will address the topic, "Critical Issues in Ecclesiology," as we celebrate a shared vision of our understanding of the church and its faithful expression of the gospel message in today's world.

On the first day, a motorcade opened the event led by an anniversary float with a parade of cars carrying students, faculty, staff, alumni and parents from VNBC.  VNBC Elementary Keyboard Class opened the ceremony with prelude music. Followed by inspiring messages delivered by Mayor Michael L. Rama of Cebu City and Atty. Terry Lianto representing Cebu Vice Governor Agnes A. Magpale.    Elementary principal Jill Galarido then led the preschool, high school, elementary and college students with a flag and balloon ceremony.  The fifty golden flags represented the fifty years of God's faithfulness to the College and the balloons signified the prayers for God's guidance and provision of the college in the succeeding years.  A VNBC 50-Voice Choir from the college and the elementary departments directed by Adelma D. Cabantug  sang "Lift High the Lord Our Banner"  and  "The Hallelujah Chorus" during the ceremony.

Soon Christians around the world will celebrate the glorious fact that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, suffered, died, and rose triumphantly so we might "have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10b). Hundreds of thousands of those who will join in this incredible celebration are Nazarenes, and these Nazarene worshipers will gather to praise our risen Lord in at least 159 world areas.

How is it possible that the Church of the Nazarene has had such enormous outreach among the lost around the world? The answer is simple-our people are known for sacrificial giving to missions. From our earliest days, in obedience to God, Nazarenes have been committed to make Christlike disciples in the nations.

We share His life with others out of gratitude for what He has done for us!

Yet, there are still countless people who are unaware of His grace for their lives. In fact, the Great Commission is a huge unfinished task that no one person, no individual church, not even one denomination can complete alone. But TOGETHER we can and are changing lives through Christ by our faithful giving.

Our annual Easter Offering, held on April 20, 2014, gives us the opportunity and privilege of impacting lives in the same incredible ways He has historically used you and others in the church.
