The April 2017 Issue 1
When the church was being launched in Anti-
och, Luke reminds us that as they shared the
“Good News” with unbelievers, the presence
and power of God was with them. In Acts 11 :
21 we read, “The Lord’s hand was with them,
and a great number of people believed and
turned to the Lord.” This Easter needs to be a
turning point moment across the Illinois District. If we are to
reach new people with the love, presence, and power of Jesus
Christ in our community, it will come only as “The Lord’s hand is
with them (us).” Let’s not be sitting in the seat of the scornful
and holding back the church. Let’s be on the front lines, full of
the Holy Spirit and praying for God’s hand upon our church.
Today, make sure your heart is clean. Get rid of all the filthy
idols we Nazarene’s have collected over the years. Allow God to
unleash HIS love, presence, and power through YOU. This may
be the best Easter the Illinois District as ever experienced. It can
be if we get out of the way and allow God to have His way.
Please pray with me for a revival that will change us and
empower our churches so we can influence our communities,
knowing HIS hand is with us!! Jim
The Family Of Rev. Michael Ice would like
to thank our District Family who shared in
the loss of our dear loved one. We deeply
appreciate the visits, prayers, flowers,
cards, and memorial contributions. Thank you Dr. and Mrs.
Kraemer for coming and for your prayers. The Elder’s Choir
was a blessing. We love you all. And remember, “Keep the
Son in your eyes!”
Joan and all the Ice Family

Missions Sandy Stickler - NMI Pres.
Thank you for all those who help furnish the Parsonage in Effingham! Pastor Samual Gomez and family have moved in and express their appreciation.
At each of our Missionary Tour’s this year we will be presenting a Paid Camp Registration to 1 child or teen. The teen or child must be in attendance in order to win. Let’s get our kids to Missions Tour.
At our last council meeting it was decided that the District NMI was to give $2000 to purchase Headsets for the Hispanic Interpretation. Praise the Lord!
A need has been brought to the Missions Council for helping raise money for Chairs, for our Hispanic Church in Effingham and for our new start, The Well in Mattoon. The chairs cost- with tax and shipping - roughly $40. If your church would like to be a part and help ’Purchase a chair’ you may send your money to the District Office. The General Church has requested that if in case of emergency on our homeland– would we would make available or have on hand, Crisis Care Kits. This year at District Missions Convention we are asking that every church bring at least 1 Crisis Care Kit with them to convention. The Casey Church has a room set aside to store these. If your church can bring these to District Convention we will see that they get to the Casey Church.
Celebrate Life @ ONU Celebrate Life is coming up, May 11-13, 2017. Registration forms are available on the Illinois District NYI page and MUST be postmarked by April 2.

Cost for the YES conference is the same as Celebrate life - you do not need to pay twice. You can participate in YES conference only or do both - for the same cost. You will stay on campus with your District. Sarah Kroeze is our District YES con-ference coordinator.
