INISTRYTEAM
I trust the start of 2015 finds you and your family well with renewed strength and encouragement for your ministry assignment. I try to communicate with you
as often as possible on things of interest from across the district and reminders to help in your planning and administrative tasks. We are fast approaching the end of the church year (now the end of February instead of March). It is time to review all the “year end” tasks and make certain your church is on schedule. The district
churches are doing well again this year in 100% payment of our FTM budgets with just a few needing to really step it up as we come toward year end and District Assembly. “Pastor’s Reports” MUST be completed online NO LATER than March 11. This issue of “Teaministry” will provide important infor-mation as we conclude this church year.
District Assembly 2015 is shaping up to be a very significant time in the life of our district. It will be held again at Nampa College Church April 29 – May 1. Dr. David Graves continues as our JGS. I
will be sharing my annual message on Wednesday night, April 29, this year. The theme is “Ready For Change . . . Ready To Change” – Mark 2:22. Pastor’s Reports this year will be a one-page written report included in the local church pages of the assembly booklet. I am asking each Mission Area to work together to present a 10 minute combined “Mission Area Report.” Please encourage your church family to be in prayer for our district between now and April 29.

Carol and I want to again say thank you for all your prayers and support. May the Lord bless you and give you a rich harvest in ministry. --Stephen Borger

Northwest Nazarene University invites you to participate in our 2015 Wesley Center Conference titled “Holy Wit: On Mirth As It Is In Heaven.” Join us on Thursday and Friday, March 19-20, as we explore how we become more fully hu-man by welcoming gracious good humor into our lives. Dr. Will Willimon will be one of our guides in helping us learn to laugh at ourselves. Recognized today as one of America’s leading preachers, Willimon was formerly a United Method-ist bishop and dean of the chapel at Duke University, where he now serves the divinity school as professor of the practice of ministry. He is the author of countless books, articles, and sermons, including titles like “Resident Aliens: Life in the Christian Colony”; the “Wesley Study Bible”; “And the Laugh Shall Be First: A Treasury of Religious Humor”; and “Family, Friends, and Other Funny People: Memories of Growing Up Southern.”

Did your church participate in the Seminarian Offering Sunday on *January 25?
This annual offering provides import-ant financial support for NTS, but most
importantly it provides much needed fi-nancial support for our future pastors, mission-
aries, chaplains, evangelists and teachers.
The SEMINARIAN OFFERING is about our students and their capacity to serve the church and respond to the call God has placed on their lives. Together, we can help them fulfill this calling. Your investment via the SEMINARIAN OFFERING is an investment in the future of our congre-gations globally. Our students are asking you to SEND THEM—they are ready and we want to provide them with the financial support that preparation and education re-quires. *Please Note: Churches are welcome to take an offering for and/or promote their partnership with NTS on Seminarian Offering Sunday or on the Sunday that is most convenient for them!
