The course of study is explained in greater detail at www.nazarenepastor.org and candidates for ministry are urged to become familiar with it engaging a pattern of lifelong learning. Modes of Study The recommended mode of preparation for full-time Christian service is by earning appropriate Biblical, Theological and/or Ministry degrees at any of our several Nazarene Universities in North America, (example: Ambrose University College, Calgary, Alberta) and, if possible, the earning of a Divinity degree in Ministry at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri. Other modes are the Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the on-line course of study through Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho, and the modular course of study provided by Clergy Development of the Church of the Nazarene and taught through the District Ministry Development Centre. Students acquiring a course of study through Non-Nazarene alternatives will be assessed and potentially assigned additional course work by the District Board of Ministry. The modular course of study for deacon ministries is forthcoming. Expectations of Candidates for Ministry Each candidate for credentialed ministry on the Canada Central District is to be familiar with and to follow a course of study consistent with the vision portrayed in the Manual 424-425. Students are to be responsible to submit transcript information to the Studies Secretary giving documentary evidence of academic standing in harmony with Manual 427.1 and 427.4. Students must submit yearly updates to the Studies Secretary by the student showing completed course work. No candidate may be ordained or have credentials recognized without transcript substantiation of course work. Candidates are to be familiar with the vision of ministry for the Church of the Nazarene in Canada as formulated by the National Board. Early in the credentialing process candidates shall attend a District Ministerial Assessment Centre. Before one may graduate from the course of study all requirements stated in the current Manual must be fulfilled.

Service Credit Policy In an attempt to standardize qualifying in-service ministry time for ordination regardless of academic track or ministry assignment the District Board of Ministry has devised a Service Credit Policy identifying that a minimum of 6,000 hours substantiate gifts, graces and fruits of ministry. These 6,000 hours are accumulated through the local license and district license ministry in the areas of proclamation/preaching, teaching, leading, mentoring/shepherding and administration. Where a ministry assignment may be primarily in a community setting (i.e., counselling, chaplaincy, training, etc.) a minimum of 35% of service time should be directly related to ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. By the 30th day of March candidates and their Pastor/Mentor are to give to the secretary of ministry studies an annual account of service time, and where ones are serving in another setting under the direct supervision of someone other than their Pastor/Mentor, their Pastor/Mentor shall liaise with that supervisor gaining appropriate confirmation of ministry given and hours fulfilled. All of this is to substantiate and clarify active, effective, and enduring ministry. District Ministry Development Centre Canada Central District currently oversees two Ministry Development Centres providing classroom settings for qualified instruction and student/instructor interaction and the submission of assignments. The locations of these centres are at the District Centre, 3657 Ponytrail Drive, Mississauga, ON L4X 1W5 and the London First Church of the Nazarene, 176 Wellington St., London, ON N6B 2L1. Rev. Richard Dove monitors the curriculum of both and specifically plans course schedules for the District Centre site and may be reached at 905-628-8458. Revs. Junior and Rosalita Sorzano plan the course schedule for the London site and may be reached at 519-681-8192.

It is my privilege to present to you my 8th report as District Superintendent. This chapter of my life and ministry has provided me the opportunity to witness the church in all of her uniqueness and diversity throughout the province of Ontario. From Niagara in the south to Sault Ste. Marie in the north. From Windsor in the west to Ottawa in the east the Church of the Nazarene continues to faithfully proclaim the full Gospel of Jesus Christ and fulfill His mandate. Yes there are many challenges, but there are wonderful stories from every church in every corner of this part of God’s Vineyard. We remain resolute to our mandate................ “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you and surely I will be with you to the very end of the age.” (Matthew chapter 28 v 19-20 The 5 key components of our North American mission:

Intentional Leadership development: (Recognize, Develop, Train & Release leaders with a Wesleyan/Armenian focus.

Vibrant Church Renewal: (Re-discover new missional life) Clear And Coherent Theological Identity: (Promote & Teach Holiness) Passionate Missional Outreach: (Releasing our people to embrace the people groups

among us) Multi-Faceted New Church Development: (Foster an environment of enthusiasm for

starting new churches through districts and local churches)

INTRODUCE & CELEBRATE OUR PASTORAL LEADERS While I am the one reporting tonight, the work of the church is carried out by our

faithful clergy who represent thousands of laypeople throughout our district. I want to take a few moments now to recognize and pay tribute to them and their spouses.

PASTORAL / CHURCH BOARD REVIEWS THIS YEAR

Pastoral / Church Board Reviews were carried out and continuing relations have been established as follows................. Rev. Daniel Ramessar: May 2011 Toronto Kennedy Road 4 years Rev. Bruce Clark: September 2011 Toronto Main Street 4 years Rev. Roy Austin: November 2011 Markdale 4 years Rev. Betty Zita: December 2011 Oakville 4 years Rev. Scott Beamer: February 2012 Niagara 4 years Rev. Mark Kitzman: May 2012 Cambridge 4 years

(8 more reviews will be carried out throughout the 2012 - 2013 church year) In order to fulfill our mission it is sometimes necessary to re-organize, re-focus, re-align

and even re-invent ourselves. Your District Advisory Board has graciously offered me a three month Sabbatical to be taken July, August & September of this year. There will be a few ministry engagements that I will be involved in since these were already planned. Most of this time will be given over to rest and renewal.

I will however use this time to work on some new organizational plans for the district. I realize that restructuring, and reconfiguration in itself, does not grow the church, but it does help to organize us into a focused and intentional missional force. Some of this re-alignment will include: Zone structures & boundaries, Zone Facilitator roles & responsibilities, mentoring partnerships, congregational partnerships within our district, Training & Equipping. It will include strategizing & visioning new congregations and ministries in Ontario and the strengthening of existing ones. I will be working specifically with our NewStart Co-Ordinator , Reverend Steve Ottley on this initiative. I will then be presenting my thoughts and recommendations to the District Advisory Board at our meeting in September, 2012. I realize that the mission of the church is fulfilled at a local level, but I believe some of what has been just described will assist all of us to accomplish even more that we thought possible.

During my absence district responsibilities will be assumed as follows: D.A.B. issues : Mr. John Martin /Administrative Issues: Dr. Hugh Hawthorne / Clergy Issues: Reverend Steve Ottley / Office Issues: Mrs. Patricia Fitzpatrick. I thank each of these people for their dedicated service to the Lord.

PASTORAL TRAINING DAYS This is a continuing initiative even though I plan to re-organize these for more

effectiveness. These Pastoral Orientation Days are for those ministry leaders who are entering the ministry for the first time, or for those who are coming to minister in the Church of the Nazarene for the first time. This provides an opportunity to present the District Vision and brief our new leaders on the teachings and beliefs of the Church of the Nazarene. This initiative has been a valuable tool in the hands of many. I am grateful to Reverend Keith Taylor and Reverend Mark Coulter for sharing their ministry experience and expertise in specific areas.

ZONE FACILITATOR & CLERGY DEVELOPMENT

It is our desire to continue to prepare our clergy and clergy as best we can for effective ministry. To that end our Zone facilitators provide regular opportunities for our ministers to

Page 47: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

47

engage in learning and equipping experiences. In addition to these, our Canadian Church invests heavily in ongoing training. Thank you Dr. Clair MacMillan (National Director), Dr. Riley Coulter (Ambrose University College) for your interest and investment in our lives. Our “Clergy Days” were held on Monday 25th & Tuesday 26th March 2011 with guest speaker Dr. Tom Nees. (Leadership)

We had a wonderful Clergy/Spouse Retreat in October, 2011 with guest speaker Dr. & Mrs J.K. Warrick. We look forward to Clergy/Spouse Retreat this coming November with our special speaker, Nazarene Theological Seminary President, Dr. David Busic.

BUDGET 2012 - 2013 REFLECTS MINISTRY INVESTMENT

It is important for you to know where your dollars are being spent. When you invest in your District, your funds are used wisely. We seek to exercise great care recognizing that you have given sacrificially. This coming year I have presented to the Finance Committee and ultimately to you what I believe is a genuine ministry budget. Many dollars will flow back to you in the form of supplements for pastoral assistance, support payments towards our Health Plan, pastoral emergency care, loans and grants to congregations with emergency needs, a continuing support of our Compassionate Ministry centres, a large investment in NewStart Funding for church plants, and Renewal Funding for existing churches in need of a financial boost. We are investing some $81,240 in church support. For every dollar given this coming year we will divest it as follows....District Operations: 60.3%, Ambrose University College: 28.0%, Ministerial Care: 4.5 %, N.M.I. 2.4%, N.Y.I. 2.4% & S.D.M.I. 2.4%. These are your funds at work and our prayer is that they will produce much fruit for the Kingdom and our careful use of these monies will be seen as wise stewardship.

MINISTERIAL BENEVOLENCE FUND

Three years ago I presented to you a new project that would assist our pastors in later years. You heartily endorsed and adopted this new project and I am grateful. Each pastor, having served at least 10 years on the Canada Central District and having reached their 65th birthday would receive $15,000 from the District as a token of our appreciation for faithful service. The second benevolence payment was made during this past church year. Thanks be to God for enabling us to accomplish this.

IN THE LOOP This is an information document that comes to you every two weeks. Our goal is to

provide you with the very latest information from around the district. It is a very helpful tool and we are glad to provide you with it. If you would like to receive this, please contact the District Office.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE

We have a large number of young people serving in official ministry positions and as lay leaders. Carolyn Gillian (London First), Denise Holland (Brantford), Stephen Atkinson (Toronto Emmanuel), Yani Csoke (Whitby Gateway). Thank you to our District N.Y.I. President, Mr. Arun Thangaraj and the N.Y.I. Council for your ministry as you lead the young people of Canada Central District. I would also like to thank Reverends Trudy White and Steve Ottley as they serve

Page 48: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

48

as District Advisory Board representatives. Please pray for the young people of our District as they provide Godly leadership in the church. Each event planned has been designed not to be an end in itself, but rather a means to an end...that of helping to develop and shape these young lives into instruments of God.

OUR CHILDREN

Thank you SDMI Chair, Mrs. Cindy Stavropoulos for keeping us “on track” regarding training, equipping and preparing our people for effective ministry. Thank you also to Kerby Stahlbaum (Children’s Ministries Director) and her team: Wendy Rampold and Lisa Potter for their vision and passion to reach children with the Gospel of Jesus. Also to those working in Local Children’s Ministry staff positions...Jackie Scrivenich (Whitby Gateway) If we don’t reach children NOW we will have no youth in 12 years time. If we don’t reach children NOW we will have no Ambrose student potential in 15 years time. If we don’t reach children NOW we will have no Young Adults in 20 years. I now call upon SDMI and the Children’s Ministries Department to develop a strategy for effective ministry to our children. While each local setting is different, I believe that there are basic principles and practices that can be effectively used to not only reach children for Jesus, but to develop them into mature Christlike disciples. I really cannot stress this enough. This is a “MUST DO” ministry for every congregation. This is not merely an exercise of providing childcare in our churches during Sunday morning service, this is an intentional ministry strategy necessary for the very survival of our congregations out into the future. This is necessary because the children of our world are no longer being indoctrinated by statements of theory, but statements that are presented to them as fact.

With so many political and governmental bills being discussed and passed, our message is in danger of being silenced, not because the proponents of a contrary message are speaking louder, but because we are not speaking at all. If our children are to be taught in school issues contrary to our belief system, then this should cause us to strongly consider a renewed emphasis and focus on ministry to children. It is the responsibility of every congregation, every church board, every Sunday School & Discipleship Ministry Board to make intentional efforts to spend time, spend energy and spend money on ministry to children. Your budget for the year ought to reflect a significant investment in ministry to children. We must present Jesus to them, we must nurture them, we must disciple and mentor them so that they will enjoy a life change that will carry them through every stage of their earthly journey so that when the time comes for departure....they will spend eternity with the Lord..

CUBAN CONGREGATIONS PARTNERSHIP

I report excellent progress in our “Partners In Ministry” initiative with the Church of the Nazarene Cuba.

I want to express my thanks to you all for your involvement in this crucial ministry. Many of you have or are in the process of planning trips to visit your sister congregations. I commend you for this and urge you to continue your support of pastors on the island. Reverend Junior Sorzano is our Cuba Partner Co-Ordinator and we have already heard his report this evening. We are a “connectional church” and we really do need each other. We were able to send a brand new vehicle to Cuba for the use of the District Superintendent. The container was packed with many items in and around the car. This will be a tremendous

Page 49: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

49

blessing to the people of that island. May the Lord continue to help us help others in this great effort to reach our world for Jesus. Just a reminder . The only official relationship that we have with the Cuban District is through the Canada Central District Office. While there is a temptation to respond to the many requests that come from individuals, in order to maintain a legally recognized relationship documented in a “Partnership Agreement” with the Cuban Church, there is only one official conduit.

I would also say that my arrangement with the Cuban Church is based on our ability to support. It was made very clear to them that we will commit to do only our best to support. If extenuating circumstances prevent that, then we simply cannot continue. I do thank you all for your faithfulness and compassion.

OUR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS (MDC)

Following discussions seeking ways to develop a Canada Central Pastoral Training model I believe that we are responding adequately to those who feel “Called of God” to prepare for vocational ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. While we do have our regional educational institution, we feel strongly that we need to provide a place of preparation for those who want to remain in their local church while preparing for future ministry. Our MDC (Ministry Development Centre) program is operational once again with three centres offering courses from the International Church 24 Modular Course of Study. These centres are.......Oakville, led by Reverends Michael & Betty Zita.....London, led by Reverends Junior & Rose Sorzano and our Spanish MDC led by Reverend Pedro Fernandez. This 24 Modular Course of Study provides a student with the basic educational requirements for Ordination in the Church of the Nazarene. It is important to note that these courses are not transferable and do not a degree program. This is however providing an educational option to those feeling called of God to prepare for ministry in the Church of the Nazarene and for those who simply want to prepare themselves to serve in the local church and community.

CONCLUSION:

In June 2004 I was elected as your District Superintendent. I joined a great company that

had gone before me. Leaders who sacrificed greatly, leaders who paid a price to fulfill the mission and leaders who built upon each other’s work and service. I committed myself anew and afresh to the Lord, asking Him to help me fulfill my ministry responsibilities so that the work would continue seamlessly. I am delighted to report to you now, 8 years later we continue to build a strong team of pastors and leaders. Our desire is to continue to start new churches and we are always monitoring the health of our existing churches. We are serious about taking care of the administrative issues pertaining to an organization, but we are even more serious about addressing the spiritual issues and gifting issues that breathe life into that organization, making it all that God has ordained for it to be. What a journey it has been, but what a journey it is going to be as all of us find our way into the right place of ministry, the place where God has called us to be. I encourage you to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to declare Him to be ... THE HOPE OF THE WORLD

HOWEVER , IN ORDER TO DO THIS.............I BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE IN ONTARIO NEEDS TO TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT JESUS..........SEEING JESUS THROUGH NEW EYES......These new eyes will take us back to the most important event of our lives.....CONVERSION. The day that we confessed our sin and He was faithful to forgive our sin and the blood of Jesus cleanses us. It is this experience that makes the difference....it is this experience that we are called on to proclaim. Just tell your story. It may not be a dramatic conversion experience but it was a miraculous one. This miraculous conversion is exactly the HOPE that only Jesus Christ can provide. I pledge to you tonight, my deep and sincere commitment always give a reason for the Hope that is within me. Will you join me? Clergy and Lay people alike. Will you leave behind those things that so easily distract us from the “main thing”? Will you present Jesus to your world, your sphere of influence as THE PROMISED HOPE....THE TRUE HOPE......THE PURE HOPE.....THE ETERNAL HOPE and THE ONLY HOPE. Let’s do it to the Glory of God and for the furtherance of His Kingdom.

B. DISTRICT BOARDS AND STANDING COMMITTEES

1. District Advisory Board This year the Board met six times, had two conference calls, and numerous email

communications. Many of the subjects which come to the attention of the Board are complex, and demand substantial review and discussion before resolution and action can be taken. This report records decisions and actions completed during the church year just ended. Many items which have come to the attention of the Board in the past year are still ongoing and will be reported at a future date. 1. Rev. D. Ian Fitzpatrick has completed his eighth year as District Superintendent. He was first elected in June 2004 with an initial two year call. In June 2006 he was given a four year call and, in June 2010, a further four year call.

2. The Board endorsed a letter sent by the District Superintendent, following the 2011 Assembly, to all church boards reminding them of the District Finance Committee recommendations on pastors’ vacation and sabbatical leave. The letter urges churches to take the necessary actions on these matters.

Ottawa Bridlewood Community Church: Permission was obtained from the District Advisory Board for Bridlewood Church to consolidate their debt into a single source mortgage at a favourable interest rate. Among other actions this included the immediate repayment and discharge of a mortgage held by the Canadian National Board Loan Fund thus freeing up capital for loans to other churches.

4. District Camp Board

Dr. Warrick, Rev. Fitzpatrick, Delegates, and friends of the 77th Canada Central District Assembly.

It is my privilege to present my second report as camp board chair of the Camping Ministries Board of Directors.

In my report last year, I stated there were many changes. I thought (or I was hoping) that the rate of these changes would slow down. Well I am here to report that they have not

Page 56: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

56

and the camping ministries of the Canada Central District keeps on moving forward to newer heights than I could ever imagine.

As mentioned in last year’s report, Bev Deeks (our treasurer for 17 plus years) was in the process of retiring. The camp board was able to find a replacement for Bev and she was able to completely retire from this position. Our new CFO is Bev Hayes and we are thankful for his willingness to step in and take over this task. This was our first year that we had to function without church budget support. A finance committee (Bev Hayes, Rob Rook, John Martin, and Doug Davis) was set-up to implement a financial structure where the camp would be self-sufficient. This committee has met several times over the year and have made major strides in obtaining this goal.

Stephanie King stepped down as custodian of the camp last fall. We have not found a replacement for this position to date. Thank you Stephanie and Mike for your support of the camping program and we wish you well in your new endeavours. The board has hired Michelle Coghill to help with the custodian/administrative duties for the summer months.

We tried something different this year. We hosted two “construction” workdays, one in October and a second one in April. They were well attended and much was accomplished. Thank you to the churches that promoted and supported these workdays and to the many volunteers. In addition, I would like to thank Bill and Alice Kimmerer and Rob and Diana Rook for feeding the work crews. Thanks to Dave Armstrong and Rob Rook for planning the work to be completed on these days.

Have you checked out our revised website? www.riverviewcamp.ca Thank you to Robyn Kamps for stepping in and helping us with this task

There have been a couple of board changes this year as well. Dave Potter resigned due to local church commitments. Pastor Octavio Torres and Denise Holland have joined the board and I appreciate the passion and wisdom they bring to the board.

We have another busy camping season ahead starting with the NYI Ignite retreat May 18th to the 21st, and ending it with the 51st Men’s Retreat weekend September 14th – 16th.

As always, there are numerous people to thank and recognize for their dedication and input into making the camping program function. I would like to publicly thank the following people:

• Pastor Ian Fitzpatrick. Without his constant prayers, encouragement, and wisdom, I could not continue to try and fill this important role as CEO.

• The current camp board - Rob Rook, John Martin, Peter Coghill, Hugh Hawthorne, Bruce Aitken, Pastor Donna Wilson, Pastor Octavio Torres, Denise Holland, and Pastor Ian Fitzpatrick.

• The DAB for their continued support. • Property and Grounds – Rob Rook, Dave Armstrong, Nelson McGenerty and the

many volunteers. • The kitchen staff headed up by Stephanie Young. • Peter Coghill and the Family Camp committee. • Wendy Ramplod and the Children’s Camp committee. • Pastor Donna Wilson and the Teen Camp committee.

There are many others in the background that make the camping ministry a success. Thank you to all....

We covet your prayers for this year’s camping program.

Respectfully Submitted Doug Davis, Camp Board Chairman

Copies of the Auditor’s Report can be obtained from Don Tweedle, District Treasurer, upon request.

2. Finance

Section 1 -- Finance We, the District Finance Committee, submit the following recommendations and direct

4. That the local church board, have all local treasurer’s books audited annually (129.23, Manual 2009-2013). (For churches needing assistance in having their books audited, contact the District Treasurer for individuals who can perform the audit of your records).

5. That the travel expense be $0.35 per kilometre for all district meetings. This figure will include all toll charges.

6. That the Church Board designates at least two members to be responsible for the signing of cheques and that the pastor or his/her spouse not be involved in this process. The pastor or his/her spouse should not be involved in the counting or handling of church funds.

3. That all missions specials funds including deputation offerings be remitted to the appropriate treasurer by the 10th of the following month.

E. Additional Guidelines WORLD EVANGELISM FUND

The calculation for the World Evangelism Fund is 5.5% of total charitable giving less amounts received for the World Evangelism Fund and approved Missions specials. For additional information the World Evangelism Fund including rare circumstances and designated giving, go to www.fundingthemission.org .

Please note that Canadian law supersedes ecclesiastical action and for more information on Canadian law requirements, please see the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra.gc.ca/charities. DISTRICT TITHE SYSTEM GENERAL PRINCIPLE

The general principle behind the budget allocation formula is that the 10% requirement will apply to the tithes and offerings raised for the regular operations of the local church. BUDGET ASSIGNMENT

The budget formula will be comprised of two components: one to calculate the World Evangelism Fund and one to calculate the rest of the budgets.

Page 59: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

59

BASE FOR CALCULATION For purposes of calculating the budgets to be remitted (other than WEF), the tithe is

based on regular tithes and offerings of the local congregation and missions (including but not necessarily limited to NMI, NYI, SDMI) less WEF paid in the year.

The tithe will not include monies collected for a specific project where all of the money is being spent on that project and is outside of the regular operation of the church. EXEMPTIONS

The church may raise funds for purposes other than the regular operation of the church. Some exemptions are recognized as being outside of the tithe policy and are therefore automatically exempt without need to apply to the District Advisory Board for approval. In other circumstances, the local church can apply to the District Advisory Board for exemption of the funds to be raised from the budget base for the 10% tithe. Application should be made to the District Advisory Board no later than 60 days prior to the date that the raising of funds is to commence.

For greater certainty, exemptions will generally be granted for the following circumstances: APPLICATION TO THE DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD REQUIRED

1. Capital projects. Capital projects will generally be defined to include: a) any new improvement to the physical facility; or b) Significant repairs or replacement of physical facility exceeding $20,000 or 10%

of regular tithes and offering, whichever is less. 2. Funds for debt reduction campaigns 3. Funds for building campaigns.

ITEMS AUTOMATICALLY EXEMPT 4. Rental income including income from daycares 5. Missional funds e.g. Canadian Food Grain bank funds, Work & Witness project funds

(not travel and other personal use funds), 6. General church specials (e.g. NTS) and other specially designated denominational

offerings (e.g. Hunger and Disaster relief, compassionate ministries) The local church should be prepared to provide an accounting of the funds raised and

money spent on any project or fundraising campaign for which an exemption has been granted.

Section 2 -- Pastoral Support Because of the love and esteem we have for our pastors, we make the following

recommendations:

SALARY

1. Each local church should review the pastor’s support package at least annually, such as at the time of setting the annual church operating budget. Each church should endeavor to provide a reasonable increase in salary and benefits. Each church board secretary will advise the district superintendent in writing that a review has been made and indicate what the pastor’s revised compensation package is (this is required for long-term disability benefits calculations). Guidance can be sought in determining a suitable compensation package by

Page 60: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

60

referring to the Statistics Canada website (www.statcan.gc.ca) and referring to information under the “Average hourly wages of employees by selected characteristics and profession” and searching for information particular to your region. An appropriate comparison group for this purpose is the “Occupations in social science, education, government service and religion” category of the statistics. As at April 2012, the average annual wage rate for this group is $65,780. (Consideration should be given to the fact that pastors are generally eligible for the clergy residence income tax deduction which increases the value of the package to the pastor. Assuming that the clergy residence deduction would be 1/3 of the total compensation, a pastoral salary of $57,450 would yield approximately the same after tax income as the amount mentioned about without the benefit of clergy residence deduction).

2. In recognition of the value of higher education, we recommend that in addition to the compensation package determined above, that the package be increased for the following educational levels achieved:

Masters Degree i.e.: M.A., M.Div., etc. 3,000.00 per yr. Doctorate Degree i.e.: D.Min., PH.D., etc. 6,000.00 per yr.

HOUSING 2. Suitable housing arrangements in keeping with the community. This should be in the form of

a housing allowance (as part of the pastor’s compensation package), a church-provided parsonage, or a church-rented accommodation. Canada Revenue Agency guidelines must be taken into account when setting the pastor’s compensation package. Reference should be made to form T1223 for guidance on the calculation of the clergy residence deduction. a) Where the church provides a parsonage, the church shall pay all expenses, such as rent or mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities and equip it with a stove, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, drapes, and carpeting as necessary. b) Where the church does not supply a parsonage, then in addition to basic salary, the pastor’s compensation package should be adequate to cover monthly mortgage installments, property taxes, insurance and utilities or rent if applicable.

VEHICLE 3. There are two methods under current Canadian tax law for the local church to compensate

the pastor for the use of the pastor's vehicle for local church ministry purposes. The first method is s a non-taxable reimbursement of professional expenses, and the second method is a taxable benefit to the pastor, included in employment income for tax purposes and reflected as additional income on the T4 slip:

a) Non-taxable reimbursement of professional expenses - must be based on the total usage of the pastor's vehicle for church-related work. A log of mileage must be kept by the pastor that reflects both church kilometres and personal kilometres. The reimbursement by the church would be reflected by the pastor's submission of an expense report claiming the church kilometres reimbursed at a rate determined by the local church board from time to time.

b) Taxable reimbursement - the church would pay the pastor a fixed car allowance that would be included in the pastor's income for tax purposes and reflected as part of the pastor's compensation on the T4 slip. The amount of this taxable benefit would be determined by the

Page 61: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

61

church board from time to time, and would not require the submission of any documentation by the pastor to the church. The pastor, in turn, could claim a deduction for employment-related vehicle expenses on their personal income tax return.

HEALTH BENEFITS 4. Each church should provide for the supplemental health costs of the pastor and his family

through participation in the District health plan. Care should be taken to avoid duplicating coverage with a spouse’s plan. (Information may be obtained from the district office. Please note that there is a time limit for application to the plan, the pastor or full-time employee must be registered within 30 days of their hire date).

RETIREMENT SAVINGS 5. Each local church put a minimum of 5.0% of the pastor’s total remuneration package into the

Canadian Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a personal RRSP plan of the pastor’s choice. We also recommend that the Pastor invest an equal amount of his/her own funds towards his/her retirement plan.

VACATION/TIME OFF 6. Each local church grants its pastor(s) with paid vacation based on career total length of full-

time pastoral service in accordance with the following schedule: 1-2 years 2 weeks vacation 3-5 years 3 weeks vacation 6-19 years 4 weeks vacation 20 years and over 5 weeks vacation The timing of the vacation should be of the pastor’s choosing in consultation with the

local church board, and the local church should pay for pulpit supply (see section 13). Participation in denominational responsibilities such as camps, pastors’ retreats, District or General Assembly is not considered part of the pastor’s vacation. Pastors are encouraged to take the full vacation allotment each year as a time of rest and renewal. Each church is encouraged to establish a written policy to deal with unused annual vacation if any exists.

In order to promote the pastor’s wellbeing, when the pastor’s regular day off falls on a statutory holiday, then an alternate day should be taken off instead.

DENOMINATIONAL ACTIVITIES 7. The local church will pay all expenses for the pastor and spouse to District Assembly and

Pastors’ and Spouses’ retreat or All Canada Conference and that a fund is established for the pastor’s General Assembly expenses.

EXPENSE REIMBURSMENTS 8. The pastor should be reimbursed for any authorized entertaining expenses incurred on

behalf of the church. 9. Church boards should authorize the pastor to purchase items for the library.

Page 62: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

62

CONTINUING EDUCATION 10. The local church should encourage its pastor to attend short-term courses relevant to

ministry, providing for travel, registration, and incidental expenses, and providing pulpit supply in his or her absence.

SABBATICAL LEAVE 11. Each local church should provide their pastor a paid sabbatical or study leave of at least

three (3) months after the completion of seven (7) consecutive years of service to that congregation in accordance with the Manual article # 129.10. In order to encourage the lifelong learning of the pastor in spiritual, emotional, and educational dimensions, the church board, in consultation with the district superintendent, should consider supporting a sabbatical/study leave for the pastor during the seventh consecutive year of service in one congregation. (Nazarene Manual 2009-2013).

INTERIM PASTOR 12. Where a minister is called to a church and community for a resident, interim period, the

minister’s support should be at the level prescribed in the pastoral support section of this report, recognizing the increased ministry the resident minister will provide. (Depending on the age of the interim minister, health and retirement benefits may not apply.)

PULPIT SUPPLY 13. Ordained elders, licensed ministers, or lay speakers supplying our church pulpits be

remunerated an amount commensurate with the size and financial strength of the church using their services, but not less than $120 per service in smaller churches and $170 per service in medium to larger churches plus travel and entertainment, where required. Automobile round trip travel should be paid at least the same rate as described elsewhere in this report or as set by the local church. If the travel is by public conveyance, actual travel expenses including entertaining costs should be reimbursed and connecting transportation be provided.

D. REGIONAL OFFICERS

1. Nazarene University College President

This is my 22nd report on behalf of Canadian Nazarene College, Nazarene University College, and Ambrose University College; my 37th as a minister in the Church of the Nazarene in Canada.

These are good days at Ambrose University College · Seminary. In partnership with our two founding denominations we are educating and developing

godly men and women for service in the church and in society. As the official school of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada we are committed to preparing workers and responding to the changing needs of our churches, districts, and world ministries. It is exciting to report that in the past year we have introduced online Masters courses, degrees in business, education, and science that equip our graduates to serve in both church and society, and Chinese language programs that meet the needs of a significant sector of the evangelical church in Canada. At our 71st graduation at the end of April we presented degrees to 129 people, including our first cohort of Bachelor of Education students, who are now equipped to serve in ministry in a variety of contexts and situations.

Academics At Ambrose we are committed to the education and development of Christian servant-

leaders; persons of godly moral character who are willing and prepared to serve the church in the power of the Holy Spirit in the 21st century.

In keeping with our commitment to serve a broader constituency, and to respond to a growing need in our constituency, we are offering the Master of Arts in Leadership and Ministry and the Master of Arts in Intercultural Ministry programs online. These degree programs are designed to allow students to study and prepare for ministry while remaining at home. In a society where it is possible to carry out many activities online, the development of online courses was a logical step. The Association of Theological Schools, the accrediting body for Ambrose Seminary, has approved these programs for online delivery, combined with a certain percentage of the teaching delivered in a face-to-face environment, and so programs completed via online delivery have the same standing as those taught by traditional methods.

The Foundations for Ministry (FMC) program has been another way of providing access to an Ambrose education at a distance. Designed for those entering ministry roles without formal theological education, FMC courses are provided by Ambrose to provide academic and ministry preparation for those seeking basic theological education in five areas: Understanding the Bible, Christian Faith, Personal Formation, Missions and Evangelism, and Ministry.

We are delighted to be host and partner in the Canadian Chinese School of Theology at Ambrose Seminary (CCSTAS), a partnership with the Canadian Chinese Alliance Churches Association and the Association of Canadian Chinese Theological Education to provide Chinese language programs. The cooperation agreement was signed in 2009 and after receiving the appropriate approvals from the Association of Theological Schools the first programs were launched in September 2011. We are very encouraged with the initial enrolment of 21 students with new applications for the fall 2012 semester already arriving. CCSTAS is, for the time being, a relatively small initiative, and yet it has abundant theological resources and well-experienced faculty members. More importantly, it provides necessary theological education for teachers, pastors, and missionaries for the Chinese churches in Canada and the World – taught entirely in Mandarin & Cantonese.

The beginning of the 2012-2013 academic year will see an unusual number of new faculty joining the Ambrose family. Outstanding candidates applied for all of the available positions, and each new hire brings exceptional qualities to the institution. One of the new professors hired to the Behavioural Science program is Julie Kaye, a graduate of Nazarene University College who is finishing her PhD at the University of Saskatchewan; the focus of her research is human trafficking. Other new professors will serve in the areas of Old Testament, Intercultural Studies, English Literature, Education and Biology.

In some of the earliest discussions concerning the establishment of Ambrose, when we articulated what we wanted for our students, the commitment was made that “Every graduate receive some international experience during their years as a student.” We continue to be committed to that goal. And in more recent documents, as a part of our Strategic Plan, when describing our World Focus, we state, “Internationalization addressed within disciplines... is encouraged through short and long term international travel and study.” Over the last two summers, Ambrose students traveled to China (Behavioural Science & Education), Costa Rica (Biology), Dominican Republic (Business & Behavioural Science), England (English), Greece

Page 67: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

(History), Ireland (Down Ancient Paths), Italy (History & Music), several European Union countries (Business) and Malta (Down Ancient Paths). As well, as part of the OnSite program – a six to nine month practicum program – students have served in England, Ethiopia, Ghana, Paraguay, Philippines and Poland. Students are engaging in important learning opportunities when they participate in travel study programs and being exposed to the richness of cultural experience.

We are pleased with enrolment increases in recent years that have resulted in a total enrolment of 721 students in the 2011-2012 academic year. Recent fall enrolments are 2008: 568; 2009: 629; 2010: 652 and 2011: 689.

Enrolment increased significantly in undergraduate ministry programs (+15), the Bachelor of Education (+21), Behavioural Science (+18), Music (+9), and the Chinese Language Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Leadership and Ministry programs (21 students in the first year).

Of the 129 students who graduated on April 28, 2012, 84 graduated from Arts and Science programs, 18 from undergraduate ministry programs, and 27 from the seminary.

Our mission at Ambrose Seminary is to prepare men and women who understand The Word, are able to minister that word into people’s lives, and who are striving to serve God in a changing world. At the core of our curriculum are biblical understanding, theological discovery, cultural sensitivity and ministry competence. Student Experience

Every effort is made is to make student life at Ambrose a positive experience. A dedicated student development team works hard to ensure that the on-campus experience is a holistic experience focusing on academic, spiritual, and personal formation.

Students have signaled their appreciation for the improved experience in the National Survey of Student Engagement, which has become the standard measure of post-secondary quality, forming the basis of the Maclean’s rankings. Student evaluation of their entire experience and the campus environment rank Ambrose ahead of the Canadian benchmark, confirming that the Christian atmosphere and a high level of student –faculty interaction is producing positive results.

A number of important student-learning focused initiatives are unfolding at Ambrose in the months ahead. A Strengths-Finders® training program will be instituted with first-year students and student leaders that will help students identify their Signature Themes and build on their strengths as they study at Ambrose and seek to fulfill God`s calling and purpose in their lives; our Vice President of Student Development, Wally Rude, is conducting research on student thriving, spirituality, and retention with Ambrose students as part of his doctoral studies at Azusa Pacific University; the residence life program will continue to focus on spiritual formation, involvement and student engagement.

Several spaces on campus are being repurposed to create an undergraduate student collegium and a dedicated Seminary common area, with the goal of enhancing community life, spiritual formation, and academic excellence. Apartment style dorms are being constructed in the Residence-Education building to provide additional housing options for senior students.

The Athletics program at Ambrose has been very successful in recent years. Following a season in which the men’s and women’s Futsal teams repeated their gold medal performances

Page 68: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

in the Alberta Colleges Athletics League (ACAL), news that Ambrose had been accepted for membership in the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference (ACAC) – a higher level league than the ACAL – was fitting recognition of our athletes. Both teams began competing in the ACAC in January 2012. In addition to futsal, Ambrose has teams competing in volleyball, hockey and basketball.

Ambrose athletics is about character development for the marketplace and for ministry. Athletic involvement contributes towards the formation of many of the following readily transferrable attributes in our athletes: discipline, a strong work ethic, commitment, team work, goal setting role acceptance, life balance, humility, the ability to work towards a common goal, and the ability to perform under pressure. All of these qualities are as desirable in the workplace as they are on the sports court.

We are intentionally expanding the range of speakers engaged for lecture series and chapels. Recent speakers have included Dr. Reginald Bibby, Dr. Tony Campolo and Dr. David Fitch; author Rudy Wiebe as part of the Arts and Science lectureship series; and Dr. Miroslav Volf, Mr. Bill Pollard and Mr. Thomas Caldwell as part of a series of lectures organized by the business program. Evangelist Dr. Barry Moore and Dr. Charles Price were the speakers at the 2010 and 2011 Spiritual Emphasis Day respectively, and numerous missionaries, ministries, and pastors have been featured as chapel speakers. Finances

Ambrose has operated with an operational surplus for the past five years. Our current year budget shows approximately $13 million in revenues and expenses; we are grateful for the level of support Ambrose received from Nazarene churches across Canada.

As a result of the construction of the new campus and the recent addition of the Residence and Education Centre, Ambrose is currently carrying $21 million in debt. Interest charges on this debt create a significant impact on our operational resources and we are committed to retiring this debt as soon as possible.

The Audited Financial Statements for Ambrose are available in August of each year and past years’ statements are available online. Facilities

We are grateful for the land God has given us and for the support of our founding denominations in making the move to Calgary and the construction of a new campus possible. Built on 40 acres of prime land in southwest Calgary, we presently have 110,000 square feet of academic space – encompassing the Ambrose Library (home to almost 120,000 volumes), the gymnasium, 21 classrooms, cafeteria, dedicated student lounge space – and 50,000 square feet of Residence space. The new Residence and Education Centre was officially opened in August 2011 with space for 96 residence students on the second and third floors and the Education Program on the first floor. The Education space includes dedicated instructional space, faculty offices, a classroom, and a student lounge. All of this space provides students with a positive environment in which to grow spiritually and intellectually. Students, faculty and staff, and many constituency alumni and friends have enjoyed and benefited from the beautiful new campus.

Presidential Appointment As we were finalizing this report, the Ambrose Board of Governors confirmed the

election of Dr. Gordon T. Smith as President, effective August 1, 2012. Currently the president and CEO of reSource Leadership International, Dr. Smith previously served as academic vice president/dean at Regent College and Canadian Theological Seminary, as well as professor of theology at both institutions. Gordon brings to Ambrose experience from a three-decade career in Christian higher education. An author and pastor, he earned his MDiv degree at CTS and a PhD in philosophy from Loyola School of Theology, Manila, Philippines. Conclusion

God continues to bless the work of Ambrose; we who minister there sense His pleasure and grace for each new day, and for each new challenge. Today we celebrate the partnership that we have enjoyed with The Church of the Nazarene preparing people for Christian ministry since 1921. We are anxious to respond to the changing needs of the church and society in educating and training people for His service – in the church and in the various marketplaces of life. We appreciate your prayerful support, and thank you for what you do for God and Christian higher education in Canada through your investment in Ambrose.

Respectfully submitted Riley Coulter, Chancellor & Acting President

2. National Director

The Church of the Nazarene has been in continuous operation in Canada since 1902. Shortly following World War II, the Government of Canada enacted legislation requiring every charitable receipt-granting organization to be supervised by a nationally incorporated board of directors, resident within the country. “The Executive Board of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada” was incorporated in 1946 by an act of Parliament. It was empowered by the General Board of the Church of the Nazarene to be the “lawful authority of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada in all matters relative to the acquiring, holding, selling and conveying of property within the Dominion, as outlined in the Articles of Incorporation.” This responsibility continues to be the core of our responsibility.

Over the past 50 years – and particularly in the past decade – the role and responsibility of the National Church Corporation has continued to evolve. Two factors have influenced that development. First, changes in governmental regulations that affect us; and second, the unique opportunities that come our way to act on behalf of the Church of the Nazarene International in responding to needs in various parts of the world.

National Director’s Responsibilities

National Office In recent years, the Church of the Nazarene International has increasingly called upon us

to manage its interests within Canada and through Canada, in many areas around the world. Through the National Office we handle payroll and retirement services for our Canadian missionaries. We manage the compliance issues that arise with the government regarding taxation and other employment matters for our and other church employees. We manage the

Page 70: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

70

retirement accounts for our pastors and oversee the group insurance plan, which covers our pastors and their families.

We also manage the Joint Ministry Agreement with the Church of the Nazarene International. This agreement has been necessitated by ongoing changes in government regulations concerning money given for charitable purposes. By law, Canadian churches are forbidden to transfer funds outside of Canada unless they have a written agreement in place to track and verify the use of those funds. This agreement is the product of ongoing complex negotiations between our tax lawyer, Mr. Robert Hayhoe, and the General Church legal counsel, Maurice O’Sullivan.

In order to be compliant with the above mentioned agreement, the Church of the Nazarene International maintains a holding account to receive all World Evangelism Funds, mission specials, and other income from our Canadian churches. That account can only be accessed by the General Treasurer and General Secretary of the Church of the Nazarene International; virtually all Church of the Nazarene funds moving into and out of Canada flow through this account. We continue to adapt to these changing requirements to assure that our districts and local churches remain in compliance with all current law.

Through the National Office we operate the Church Loan Fund Canada, arranging financing to local churches for acquiring or developing properties. Currently we have about $3 million on loan to local churches. This fund is made available particularly to churches that would have difficulty qualifying for financing in the commercial loan market.

The National Office maintains a website; we publish a weekly newsletter, edited by Diane McCrae. It is distributed by email to hundreds of individuals and all of our local churches. Dr. William Stewart publishes a quarterly newsletter he calls ACORN (Association of Canadian Retired Nazarenes); it is distributed to retired Nazarene pastors and laypeople across Canada and around the world.

About 3 years ago, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada (NCMC) began producing and distributing a gift catalogue designed to make “gift-giving” to international ministries an option for our people. Every year, particularly at Christmastime, many people make use of this resource to combine compassionate outreach with their desire to give something to friends and family members. The National Office, in cooperation with NCMC, coordinates the Canadian participation in the Child Sponsorship program of the General Church.

These are exceedingly complex and time–consuming activities. Our National Office staff is made up of my Executive Assistant, Allan McAlpin, Bookkeeper Aml Nasr and our Office Assistant, Diane McCrae. Allan, Aml and Diane all work half-time. The Church of the Nazarene International pays us to manage their interests on its behalf.

When I accepted this position, the National Board asked me to give attention to four priorities in addition to being the executive officer of the corporation.

District Coordination

First, the Board asked me to help to develop and optimize resources for the districts and the district superintendents. Financial Resources

Page 71: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

71

Prior to 1997 each of the districts applied for and received financial assistance for home mission work from the International Department of Home Missions. Since 1997, the USA/CANADA Mission Evangelism Department has eliminated that program and decided that it will provide an annual “block funding grant” to the Canadian Church, on condition that we develop a system of sharing those funds among the Canadian districts. We have an ongoing commitment to assure that those funds are used where they will do the most good. We thank Dr. Robert Broadbooks and the USA/CANADA Regional Office for this ongoing support. We do not receive any funding from local churches to operate the National Office or any of the initiatives the districts ask us to undertake on their behalf. We do have a small amount of income that comes to us from the annual proceeds of investments that have been committed to us over the years. We are seeking ways to expand that resource, in order to make more funds available to advance the work of the districts.

In 1993, when changes in Canadian government regulations forced us to sever our retirement program from the USA Pension program, our retired pastors and their spouses lost the death benefit gift that was part of the basic pension program. Subsequently the National Board made provision for us to provide a death benefit gift of $2500 to the surviving retired pastor or spouse. Other Resources

While the word “resources” immediately draws our minds to fiscal matters, it is not restricted to that. We continue to offer the SourceBook for Clergy Development Canada at no cost on our National website and on the International Church website. This important resource continues to influence the preparation of ministers for the church. We are beginning reap the benefits of this tool that has been part of our process of clergy preparation for the past 18 years.

I continue to conduct the annual Ministry Assessment program initiated by my predecessor 17 years ago. In January 2011 we led 7 candidates and their spouses through the assessment process in Calgary. I thank Dr. Larry Dahl and his Executive Assistant, Rose Graham, for coordinating and facilitating that process. Five of the candidates were assessed as “possessing the gifts and graces for clergy-type ministry in the Church of the Nazarene.” The other two were assigned remedial work and invited to return for a future assessment when that work is completed.

In March 2012 we conducted the Assessment Center in Canada Central District with 8 candidates. All were deemed to “have gifts and graces consistent with ordained ministry in the Church of the Nazarene,” and were commended to the Canada Central District Board of Ministry for further development. I thank Ian and Pat Fitzpatrick for coordinating and facilitating the event. On March 23-25 we will have another assessment center for candidates from Canada Central District.

Over the past several years Canada Atlantic District has sent their candidates to Canada Central District for Assessment. This year we anticipate conducting an assessment center in Nova Scotia to accommodate the 11 candidates from Canada Atlantic who have expressed a sense of calling to prepare for ordination. We are encouraged by this evidence of new initiatives in that district.

The Quebec District continues to assess its French-language candidates for ordained ministry under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn Severe and the “L’institut Biblique Nazareen du

Page 72: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

72

Quebec”. We continue to direct English-language and Spanish-language candidates to the Canada Central assessment center.

Rev. Terry Fach serves as our Regional Education Coordinator to oversee the work of our Region Course of Study Advisory Committee (RCOSAC). Terry continues to work with Dr. Coulter in overseeing the annual Ambrose Clergy Days, our National contribution to continuing education for our pastors across the country.

Rev. Steve Ottley is our National New Start coordinator. I draw you attention to his report which is printed in our board workbook. Steve is working to help us envision a strategy for beginning new church-type missions in each of our districts.

Late last year the Global Nazarene Youth Council accepted our nomination of Helen Thiessen to serve on the Canadian Regional NYI Representative. Helen is working with our Ambrose Canada West District student liaison, Rev. Rose Brower-Young, to assure that we stay in close contact with our Nazarene students at Ambrose.

In December the Global Mission Council elected Richard Bahan to serve as the Canadian Representative on that Council. Richard replaces Rev. Tonya Kucey who resigned last month to begin responsibilities with her husband in the MesoAmerica Regional Office in Costa Rica. We are pleased with the continued development of Ambrose University College in its role of preparing people for service as lay people and as clergy. We see the role of Ambrose as making a most significant contribution to fulfilling our National Vision, particularly in raising another generation of competent and Spirit-filled leaders. A year ago the Ambrose Board asked Dr. Riley Coulter to serve as acting president of Ambrose in addition to his central role as Chancellor or Ambrose and President of Canadian Nazarene College Inc. Dr. Coulter will bring a report to us this afternoon. Quebec Since June 2007 I have served as the superintendent of the Quebec District. This year the Board of General Superintendents has asked me to continue in that capacity for another 2 years . I have consulted with the Executive Committee and Drs. Porter, Warrick and Duarte, and have agreed to this extension. It is understood by the BGS and the National Board to be a part of my assignment as National Director. Our goal in this is to transition to a more sustainable model for the continuation of the Quebec District as a discreet entity. The ongoing financial crisis in funding the mission of the global church has impacted our progress toward that goal. The Quebec operation is seriously under-funded so I do this work pro bono. I have met with the Quebec District Advisory Board six times this year and with the auxiliary leaders twice. I attended the Quebec Nazarene Missions International Convention last May. We were pleased that Dr. Porter was with us for district assembly last June. Following our recent pattern, I have been asked to chair the Quebec Assembly this year and anticipate that Dr. J. K. Warrick will be with us to lead the 2013 Assembly.

Dr. Jocelyn Severe serves as Haitian Coordinator for Quebec. Under his leadership we have started 4 new “church-type” missions in the past two years. Dr. Severe also coordinates (and teaches in) “L’institut Biblique Nazareen du Quebec,” our delivery system for basic clergy preparation.

Nancy Robichaud is my part–time Executive Assistant in Quebec. She provides the day-to-day oversight of our work. We are moving steadily toward a measure of financial stability under the current leadership model. We continue to face challenges regarding seeing the

Page 73: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

73

development of a measure of self government for the Quebec District. I will be consulting with Dr. Bob Broadbooks concerning future recommendations to the Board of General Superintendents.

Peer Accountability for District Superintendents Second, the Board asked that I develop a system of peer accountability for the Canadian district superintendents. To that end, we have made a commitment to meet regularly to pray with and for one another, and to maintain the highest degree of spiritual transparency as we work to advance the Gospel in our respective fields of responsibility. I believe that God is honoring this initiative. We work together in two ways: first, as the Executive Committee of the National Board; and second, as the “Administrator’s Fellowship.” When we meet as “Administrator’s Fellowship” we occasionally include our wives and share a time of relaxed conversation and enjoyable activity. We intentionally avoid “talking shop” during these times and focus on keeping the joy of holiness alive in us. Without exception we have come to anticipate and relish these times of renewal. Our discussions in this capacity are “off the record,” freeing us to “dream dreams and see visions” about where God is directing the Church of the Nazarene.

As the Executive committee we give prayerful consideration to the concerns and ministry opportunities that arise between the meetings of the Board. We work together to assure that as a denomination in Canada we keep faith with the mission that Good has given to the Church of the Nazarene.

Mission and Vision Third, the Board asked me to keep us focused on the National Vision Statement it

developed and adopted a decade ago. This statement coordinates well with our new statement of purpose adopted by the Board of General superintendents, “Our purpose if to make Christ-like disciples in the nations.”

Vision Statement Church of the Nazarene Canada We the people in Canada called Nazarenes

Commit ourselves to obeying the Father, honoring the Son and living in the Spirit by engaging in effective evangelism, experiencing and promoting the holy life and

raising a generation of competent and Spirit filled leaders.

Representing the Church of the Nazarene Canada Fourth, the Board asked me to be the spokesman for the Church of the Nazarene and its representative in the larger church community and the wider society. In this capacity I have had ongoing contact with a number of organizations including, ALPHA Canada, Arrow Leadership Development, Church Planting Canada, The Micah Challenge, Church Growth Canada, The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada, the Wesleyan Church, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, Focus on the Family Canada, the Interfaith Chaplaincy Committee and Bridges of Love – Urban Ministry. New opportunities are arising constantly for us to take our place among other organizations that are seeking to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ known in our world. I continue to meet from time-to-time with the leaders of the denominations in Canada that self-identify their organizations as “evangelical.” We have an ongoing conversation

Page 74: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

74

regarding the issues church that impact us severally and collectively. We are careful to avoid the political issues that dominate the agenda of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, focusing instead on matters that impact us directly as denominational leaders, such as interdenominational credential recognition.

Each year there are numerous events scheduled to which I am invited as the leader of the Church of the Nazarene Canada. A few weeks ago I attended 47th National Prayer Breakfast in Ottawa. In addition, I am occasionally contacted by the media to comment on a variety of social and moral issues that impact the life of Canadians and the church. This year’s National Prayer Breakfast will be held on May 1. I will either attend or appoint someone to represent me there.

Although it is not a direct function of our National mandate, it is worth noting that one of our elders from Canada West District, Rev. Rick Burk was chosen last year to serve as the Director General for Prison Chaplaincy for Canada. We congratulate Rick on this achievement. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada

As National Director, it is my responsibility to give executive direction to this important ministry of the Church of the Nazarene in Canada and around the world. There are unique opportunities open to us to have influence for the Gospel far out of proportion to our numeric strength.

The international work of NCMC is directed by Rev. Elaine Bumstead. Elaine serves also as an employee of the Canadian Food Grains Bank and represents the Church of the Nazarene on the board of that organization. This year Jodi Getson joined the CFGB board as our second representative. Dell Wergeland, director of the gifts-in-kind work of the Compassionate Resource Warehouse, serves as a field worker for the NCMC Committee, as does Robert Hughes. We look forward to their collective report this afternoon.

In September 2011 we received the resignation of Rev. Audrey Dahl as the coordinator of our domestic compassionate ministry activities. I thank Audrey for her faithful work in that capacity over the past 5+ years.

In 2010 NCMC received a substantial financial gift from the estate of Rev. George and Phyllis Anstey. Their wish was for the money to be invested in a medical project through the Church of the Nazarene in some needy world area. At the very time we received word of the gift, the people of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries in Sri Lanka were praying for funding to help build a medical and ministry center in Colombo, Sri Lanka. They had acquired and paid for a piece of land; architects had completed the design and blueprints for the building and NCM Lanka had raised about 25% of the cost of construction. Nevertheless, the task of raising the remaining funds seemed far beyond reach for at least a decade – perhaps even longer.

Last July I had the privilege of attending the opening of the “George and Phyllis Anstey Medical and Ministry Centre” in the Watala area of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Rev. George Anstey’s niece, Linda Craig and her son, Robert Westhafer, met us there for the dedication service. At the 2007 Annual Meeting we grappled with the question of whether to develop a separate board responsible for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada (NCMC). We came to the decision that it would be best for NCMC to remain under the direction of the National Board. At that meeting we authorized the creation of the NCMC Committee to oversee that work. That committee will bring its report to us this afternoon.

Conclusion I continue to see it as good stewardship of our national and district resources for me to

function in this dual capacity as National Director and as Superintendent of Canada Atlantic District. The staff we have in place in each office makes it possible for me to invest my time focusing on the large issues, leaving the critically important detail work to others who are skilled and fulfilled in those matters.

District NYI President A few weeks ago, I had to appear before a House of Commons Committee for work. I

got ready by ensuring that I was able to answer questions on the financial situation of my organization. Normally this is a fairly straightforward thing to do and no one, other than people who like to who watch CPAC for entertainment, really cares what goes on. Part of our preparation is trying to figure out what we were going to do if this person said this, and how we would respond if someone else said that...and how we would word things just right in order to answer the question properly. At one point in our preparation, someone very wise (and it wasn’t me) said – “We need to stop and focus. We need to ignore the things that are distractions.... we need to stop and focus on our message... and then stick to the message.”

We get caught up in distractions all the time don’t we? We get caught up in how many events we have in a year. How many people show up. Who the speakers are. What church/Sunday School/youth model works best. Who leads worship (and sometimes who is better at it). Who is on the NYI council. Who is really a Christian and who isn’t. What social or political issues should Christians be involved in.

Distractions. All of them. They are all interesting subjects to debate, but what do they really amount to? Do we

really want to measure how well we are doing by the number of people who show up at Ignite or the musical quality of the worship team? Distractions.

For those of us who are in love with Christ, our message, THE MESSAGE, that we need to focus on is clear. It is found in every single red-lettered word of Jesus. It is found in the words of the prophet Micah who proclaimed these words – And what does the Lord require of you? Nothing more than this. To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Do you know what I love about those words....or the words that Jesus spoke when opened the scroll in Luke 4 and said – The Spirit of Adonai is upon me because he has anointed me to announce Good News to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned and renewed sight for the blind, to release the oppressed?

I love the fact that those words describe the very essence of means to be a Christian. It is our message. It is THE MESSAGE. Being a Christian is not about us, or getting power, changing laws or having great events. Jesus didn’t die on the cross for that. He died so that we understand what being loved by the creator of the universe so that we fall in love with Him. When we do that, our actions need to change the world around us. We advocate for justice – not our rights to wear a Jesus t-shirt to school. We advocate mercy for those who have done wrong – not punishment. We stand with the poor – not for our ability to get more stuff. We pay for books to send Swaziland – instead of downloading singles from iTunes – or stealing them from BitTorrent.

The reason we have events is so we can expose young people to this message. The reason we have worship musicians at our events is so that those young people can feel united with the heart of God. The reason this district has the Sharing Place – where we as an NYI need to be more involved than we are now – is to be on the side of the poor and oppressed. When our actions are off message, when they focus on us, and our rights, our models of church, on worship music...we need stop and get back on message.

What I love about what the NYI has accomplished over the past few years, is that I truly believe that we are and have been on message. I believe that when we bring speakers like Matt Wilks, Dave Curtiss, Brad Friesen, Arnold Schwarzenegger...I mean Janos Csoke, Mark Kitzman, we get a better understanding of how to act, love and walk with God. I believe that when we send a group of kids to Swaziland, we do that not because we need books stacked or people with AIDS to be visited, we do it because it justice and standing on the side of the poor and oppressed.

Act, love and walk. Interesting words....and a clear message. Put away the distractions. Act justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly with our God.

Esther Boodhoo (NMI Secretary)

District NMI President General Superintendent J. K. Warrick, District Superintendent Ian Fitzpatrick, Pastors,

Local NMI Presidents, Delegates and Friends: This, my fifth annual report to you as District NMI President, wasn’t easy to formulate,

may not be easy to deliver, but is a blessing of Lord God Almighty to my soul. The memories invoked, and the lessons only now being realized, perhaps still only partially, blow my mind. Our God is a good God who loves us more than we understand, and I just want to bask in the warmth of that thought.

Now I recognize that my experiences are just that . . . my experiences. But I pray something in them will resonate in the core of your being, provide encouragement and joy, and provoke thought. And, in the telling, may you get some semblance of a mission report.

Snails and Treetops

(My, but doesn’t that sound like the title of a missions reading book!) I have found a place not far from work, actually not far from Rosewood (which is not far

from work), where I can be alone and quiet. It is Rouge Park and the Glen Eagles Vista. What stemmed from an exercise to help my Pastor with his doctoral thesis, practicing solitude and silence, became a gift.

As I started to walk the park’s trail one lunch time, I got not far when I was fascinated by the snails I found upon it. I stood above them, noticing how small they seemed and how hard they were working to traverse the pebbles of that pathway. I was struck with the idea that what were small crushed stones to me must be great obstacles for them. It gave me an insight to God’s perspective; that is, that what I see as monstrous, He takes in stride. I needed that lesson for, when I returned to the office, Dad had called and left a message that Mom was returning to pacemaker surgery for yet a third time.

There is more. On another day, I actually enjoyed a full trip around this “Wild in the City” park and found a lookout over the valley. It was simply awesome to stand in a position above treetops and feel closer to the sky, and God. As I questioned the Lord about how He would have me change, His message was simply, “Invest in today.” Sufficient would be my interactions at work and my interactions with three young ladies as we would venture up to Family Camp for the Youth service that evening.

On my way back to my car, I watched for the snails again. They weren’t to be seen. I guess they weren’t there because they were my personal message for Monday and not Friday. God is so good!

Where am I going with all this? Here’s Message #1. Please know the truth of the comforting presence and largesse of God, and do not sweat the future. Give Him today and allow the Lord to lead you, by His wisdom, into the tomorrows He has planned for you. Local mission leaders, thank you for all that you work to accomplish in your home churches. Pray, stay the course, be faithful to each day and rest in the fact that God will accomplish His purposes.

Were I to illustrate further this fact of work, faithfulness and little becomes much when God is in it, I need only to take us back to these comments from the summer of last year.

From Gord Evans to Collin and Shireen, our LINKS missionaries – This past Saturday evening, Marg and Stacey and Campbell Stahlbaum were able to share the story of their trip from Swaziland to Durban to meet with you and to learn more about you and your Youth Centre project. It was the first evening of our District Family Camp here in Pefferlaw.

As Marg shared their story and showed pictures of you and your home and the area and ministries and people in your life, she told of the blessing she received when you two spoke of the encouragement you receive from the cards and notes you receive from LINKS supporters. Marg specifically mentioned one card from our Hamilton Mountain church that Collin had chosen and brought out to show to her. Marg told us that, even in the more challenging and difficult days, you gain encouragement by reading those cards and knowing that people elsewhere are supporting and praying for you.

Liz Brokmann, our Hamilton Mountain church LINKS representative, was at Family Camp on Saturday evening, and heard this story. She was overwhelmed and blessed to know that her small effort has been such an encouragement and blessing to you.

From Marg Stahlbaum to us via the District NMI website – We spent the last day with them at breakfast sharing our dreams and the things we felt that the Lord was leading us to. Collin and Shireen are praying that someone will come along side of them to build this building. They have the people to help build and put in the necessities, they just need some help in getting the funds. We prayed with them and then they asked us to share our dreams. They are truly interested in each person as a person. One thing that Collin said that woke me up from my ignorant ways was this: The first morning we shared breakfast, Collin brought out a card from the Hamilton Mountain Church. He said how encouraged he and Shireen were each time that faithful church sent a card. In my ignorance I said, that it was a small church on our District just like mine (Cambridge Preston). Collin said, "A small church? How can that be? When a church remembers its missionaries and sends cards faithfully they are a big church. They are praying for us and the ministry we do. They are a big church involved in the big ways that our big God is moving." Collin and Shireen have every card that our District sends them. They keep them out

on display for those days when they are discouraged, because those cards are a reminder to them of God's faithful provision and obedience.

Praise the Lord!

Legacy As you are all well aware, the Lord saw fit to carry Mom home this past year. I need to

publicly thank you for your cards, kindnesses and prayers, as well as the most beautiful flower arrangement to be seen, from my District and District NMI family. I was humbled and am grateful.

One of the things I remember of Mom is the years upon years she served as an effective mission president in Newmarket. They left their mark on me, as did the tutelage of Mrs Eva Olsen in Junior Missions Church. If I carry anything from Mom’s passing, it is the renewed conviction to leave a right legacy.

Message #2 is this. If I could re-write the Holy Book, Mark 10:14 would read this way. “But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto NMI, and forbid them not: for of such is the continuance of mission passion.” Local children’s and teen’s mission leaders, thank you for all that you work to accomplish in your home churches. Let us all pray, teach and show vibrantly what a lifestyle of going into all the world and not being served, but serving, looks like, that it might be attractive and emulated.

FYI, it was my pleasure this year, on behalf of the District NMI Council, to congratulate Marg Shurtliff, of Ottawa Trinity, for 40+ years of guiding young minds toward mission thinking. Some of my comments were these, which I shout out to all who are laying a mission legacy.

Marg – Some would call you ‘insane’ for having taught missions to children for 40+ years. We call you ‘wonderful’. Thank you for beginning well, continuing strong and ending, not now but sometime, forever faithful. Who knows what God has accomplished in the lives of children and their worlds because of you! May you experience God’s richest blessings this day and always. I conclude with this statement that crossed my desk just this week. “It’s not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.” You have lived a valuable life, Marg. Thanks for scattering!

And, in case you missed it somehow, children are leading us. Thank you Hailey Muzzell of our Owen Sound church for your amazing example of a mission heart! From the Owen Sound Sun Times -- All Hailey Muzzell wants is money for Christmas.

The nine-year-old Owen Sound girl even asked if it would be OK to sell her presents from her grandparents to get cash.

But the Christmas spirit burns brightly in her. She will spend her money helping others who really need it.

By spreading the word among friends and strangers, she has raised $1,750 for two wells in a developing country, sufficient to support more than 600 people.

She'd heard of women having to travel miles on foot for dirty water. In late November she resolved to help.

She felt if she didn't help them they might feel bad about her, she said while playing with her blonde hair self-consciously.

She imagines these women will feel "joyful inside" when they can finally use the well.

"They're going to have smiles on their faces and they're going to want to tell everybody that they've got a well so they don't have to walk and it’s going to be easier for them."

"Hailey is a very remarkable girl. She really is," Pastor Larry Leonard said. She could have chosen to raise $10 for a blanket, he said.

"One of the things we really emphasize is children and the fact their faith is often more vibrant than adults' and Hailey is a classic case in point," he said.

From Elaine Bumstead -- Here is a pic of the deep tube well funded by Hailey Muzzell (Owen Sound church). I am in Bangladesh . . .

The well is located at a Child development centre (in the background). A little boy is pumping water....teacher and other children standing nearby. The well supplies water for the 75 children in the CDC and their families as well as the surrounding community.

Praise the Lord!

Moving On Well, today. What are my today lessons? How about that my initial, emotional advice

to you is this; DON’T MOVE! From the sale of Dad’s house at the beginning of April to its closing on June 1, he and I

were in a mad dash to combine two households. It’s interesting how much stuff is accumulated in 53 years of residence in one place and how much spread goes on in the townhouse of a single person. Needless to say, the pace was hectic and, many a time, the comment was made that this wasn’t easy and just too much work.

OK. Let me talk to you from the almost other side. Though perfection hasn’t been attained, it is weight lifting to know that out of the abundance others have been blessed, the unnecessary has been removed and the valuable has been retained. I have had an advice shift. MOVE!

Do you catch my drift? Here’s Message #3. Local mission leaders, local pastors, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, God is sufficient. Won’t you, with me, prayerfully evaluate your mission “home”, or lack thereof, and give from your blessings, stop the rote and ineffective, and do with gusto that which will be of greatest worth in your “Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” . . . all 4?

Well, new stories are yet to come then. Praise the Lord! It’s time to close. Allow me, please, just these few final comments, though I know you

will be reminded of most through the Treasurer’s report.

It was beyond delightful to have Terry and Tammy, missionaries to Romania, as our spring deputation/convention missionaries in June of last year. Please continue to pray for them and, more specifically, for Tammy, elected on November 19 as the first female European District Superintendent.

For our fall deputation tour (Sep 30 through Oct 9), we were privileged to hear from Jon and Margaret, missionaries to Malawi. Please be faithful to keep them in your prayers in this year of retirement deputation and assignment as missionaries in residence at NNU (Northwest Nazarene University) in Nampa, Idaho.

In keeping with giving from our blessings, the budget structure of the District NMI was adjusted to include a Special Projects category, out of which we will now yearly support

Page 83: Seventy-Seventh Annual Assembly Journal of the …nazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2012/Canada Central...Seventy-Seventh . Annual Assembly Journal . of the . Canada Central

83

the same (special projects). This year funds were allocated to Shireen’s youth/community centre and the district youth Swaziland project.

Reports for District giving, at the writing of this report weren’t exactly current, but shall be updated as the info is supplied. Here are the values in hand. Thank you for your generous/hilarious giving! 2011-2012 2010-2011

o World Evangelism Fund: $261,880.00 $279,326.00 (per Pastors’ reports)

o 10% Missions Specials: $112,151.52 $78,463.44 (per National Office) (to May 11) (to May 5)

I was most privileged to be able to attend, and bring your greetings to, the Cuban District NMI Convention this past winter as I travelled there with a team developed by Pastor Jerold and Esther Boodhoo. They send their greetings in return. The two carried motions from that gathering that continue to give me pause were these, done out of their poverty but because of their love of Jesus Christ and wanting to impact their world for Him.

o The convention carried that each local church should provide $1.00 per year so that they might begin a District Missionary Church (or new start).

o The convention carried that a fund be begun to send a Cuban missionary. Food for thought.

Finally, sincerest, heart-deep gratitude goes out to D.S. Ian and the entire District NMI team; council members Esther Boodhoo, Gord Evans, Donna Wilson, Stacey Stahlbaum, Clair Ann Keodprom and Ruth Bissoon-Ramessar and appointees Angelina Selvalingham, John Andrews, MJ Kinnear, Rob Kinnear, Jerold Boodhoo, Urcilla Rodney, Kayleigh Kofler and Nadine Lewis. They carried on when I just needed a time of sabbatical. I am forever grateful for their love, and the mission passion that drives them. We will miss greatly the contributions of both Ruth, our LINKS ambassador and Rob, our Nazarene Compassionate Ministries coordinator, as they both feel the need to step aside for a season. Thank you for your immense value and service to the team! God be with you in your days ahead!

It is truly a humbling honour to hold this office. Thank you for your patience, prayers and trust! Please remember, “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
