Heavy rains cause floods, mudslides in Peru

More than 80 people have died in Peru following the worst floods in almost 30 years. Half of the country is under a state of emergency as this year’s rainy season has delivered 10 times more rain than average, causing landslides.
As roads are blocked by overflowing rivers, access to food and safe water become a matter of survival. In addition, the still waters facilitate the rapid spread of mosquitoes and several cases of malaria have already been reported. Forecasts predict two more weeks of heavy rain, and schools have postponed their start of school year classes in several cities.
“Because of the strong rains that have already lasted more than four weeks, many cities in a total of five [Church of the Nazarene] districts (North Pacific, North, La Libertad Chavín, Central, and Southern District) have already been affected,” said Christian Sarmiento, South America regional director for the denomination. “Approximately 100 churches find themselves in the most devastating areas, and the leadership in Peru reported more than 1,000 Nazarene members directly affected in these past weeks, and the number continues to grow.”
The remaining districts in Peru are assisting their neighbors by providing funds to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, which has already distributed hundreds of food, water, and mosquito net kits, prioritizing the most vulnerable families.
“I thank you ahead of time and want to thank you for your prayers and for your love for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Peru,” Sarmiento said.
How to help
Pray
Please pray the rains will stop and the water level will decrease. Pray for the people affected and for the churches that are suffering. Pray for those who are helping their neighbors.

Trevecca, ENC move forward with exploration of merger; Boone to serve as president of both institutions
Eastern Nazarene College and Trevecca Nazarene University announced Friday that they will move forward with a collaborative partnership, with Dan Boone serving as the president of both schools, following affirmative votes by each institution’s board of trustees.
Trevecca and ENC announced they were exploring the possibility of a partnership last month in a joint release to NCN News. Trevecca’s board voted last week to approve a Memorandum of Understanding that begins a formal three-year exploration of merger between the two institutions. ENC’s board unanimously approved the proposal Friday.
Under the terms of the agreement, Boone will serve as president of both institutions. Effective immediately, he will become president-elect of ENC, succeeding Corlis McGee, who is stepping down at the end of the academic year after 12 years as ENC president. On 1 September, he will be formally installed as ENC’s 14th president.
“We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Boone to the ENC community,” said Russell Long, chairman of the ENC Board of Trustees. “We are confident that this new partnership with Trevecca will strengthen both institutions’ shared mission of providing a Christian liberal arts education centered on service and leadership.”
During meetings last week, Trevecca’s board voted unanimously to renew Boone’s contract for a four-year term. Trevecca’s 11th president, Boone has served the university since 2005.
Boone will work with a group of ENC and TNU administrators and trustees to fully engage this exploration. He was on ENC’s Quincy campus Friday to meet with faculty, staff and students following the ENC board’s vote.
“Today is a historic day that marks a new partnership between two great Christian educational institutions," he said on Friday. "I am humbled by the challenge of serving as the president of both. In a changing world, it is our duty to find ways to meet the needs of students seeking the formative influence of Christian higher education. This collaboration will allow both Trevecca and ENC to do that for years to come. ”
As the president of both institutions, Boone will provide leadership and oversight for both Trevecca and ENC. Both will retain separate boards of governance and continue to operate as independent institutions under their respective accrediting bodies. It is the intent of the exploration process to maintain the name and identity of Eastern Nazarene College.
Boone said he is excited to be a part of the historic partnership and optimistic about the future.
“In the wake of this news regarding our partnership with ENC, I am excited about the future of Trevecca,” he said. “As an institution experiencing historic growth and financial stability, we are delighted to explore a new model of Christian higher education in partnership with ENC.”
Officials from both universities believe the process, when fully implemented, will result in learning and co-curricular opportunities for students on both campuses, as well as increased operational cost efficiencies, shared program resources, and expanded impact. Both institutions expect to use technology to expand course offerings, with students and faculty participating in classes and academic exchanges.
This exploration of merger comes at a time when Trevecca is experiencing dramatic growth. Founded in 1901, the 116-year-old university is the fastest growing university in Middle Tennessee, adding 581 students to total enrollment in the last year for a total enrollment of 3,221. Trevecca’s School of Graduate and Continuing Studies achieved a 47 percent year-over-year increase in adult studies and graduate students from fall 2015 to fall 2016. With students from 43 states and 16 countries, Trevecca offers 15 associate degrees, 84 undergraduate majors, 19 master’s programs, and two doctoral programs, as well as specialist and certificate programs.
ENC, with students from 34 states and 12 countries, is widely recognized as one of the most diverse and multicultural Christian colleges in the country. Its highly respected faculty, low student-to-faculty ratio, strong community partnerships, and close proximity to Boston afford ENC students unparalleled opportunities for academic and cultural enrichment, valuable fellowships and internships, and opportunities to live out their faith through meaningful service and mission work.[Trevecca Nazarene University, Eastern Nazarene College]Read more

Grand Ledge, Michigan
John Seaman passes away
John Seaman, superintendent of the Michigan District and a former Church of the Nazarene missionary, passed away 19 March. He was 69.
"It is with great sadness I tell you that Sunday night around 6:15, our beloved friend and leader, Dr. John Seaman, transitioned to eternity," wrote Interim Michigan District Superintendent Glen Gardner. "I like to think that Dr. Seaman joined the heavenly choir and is singing and laughing and rejoicing."
Seaman underwent surgery for a malignant brain tumor in August and had been receiving chemotherapy treatment. He was moved to a hospice facility 11 March.
"John was a personal friend, a mentor, and one of the most passionate and committed churchmen that I had the privilege to have known," said Gustavo Crocker, general superintendent in jurisdiction. "There are literally thousands of lives in many countries that have been touched by such a Christlike servant. Mine is one of them. Dr. Seaman will be greatly missed."
Seaman and his wife, Linda, began serving as missionaries in 1976, first in Martinique. In 1987, they were reassigned to Côte d'Ivoire to pioneer the church's work in West Africa. After leaving the mission field in 2003, John was elected superintendent of the Michigan District.
"John and Linda were some of our very best missionary leaders on the continent of Africa and also personal friends," said Richard Zanner, retired Africa regional director. "It was my joy, honor, and privilege to have John on my team of the RAC (regional advisory council) for many years. I have sat at their table, slept in their home, laughed with them over the many funny situations they encountered, suffered with them through dark hours, wept with them at the time of [their daughter] Kendra's accident, and prayed through on challenging situations."
John served as a delegate to the 1989, 1993, 1997, 2005, and 2009 general assemblies. In 2013, he became a member of the Church of the Nazarene's General Board, serving on the Global Mission Committee.
He held a Bachelor of Arts from Olivet Nazarene College (now University) and a Master of Arts and Master of Religious Education from Nazarene Theological Seminary.
In addition to Linda, John is survived by their three children — Kendra, Lauren, and Ketly — and his sister, Connie Cunningham.
A memorial service will be held at 3 PM, 8 April 2017, at Jackson, Michigan, First Church of the Nazarene. The family will greet visitors from 1-3 PM. The memorial service will also be live streamed at jaxnaz.churchonline.org.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers memorial contributions be made to Reach77* in its effort to provide transitional housing for survivors of human trafficking. Checks can be made payable to Reach77 and sent to 1229 N. Anvil Ct. Addison, IL 60101. You can also give directly at reach77.net/giving. A special memorial page has been set up in Seaman's honor.
Continued prayer is requested for the Seaman and Michigan District families. Read more

Kudjip, Papua New Guinea
Kudjip Nazarene Hospital celebrates 50 years
Community members and Church of the Nazarene leaders came together 18 March to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kudjip Nazarene Hospital and Nazarene Health Ministries.
Half a century ago, Wanda and Sydney Knox planted a church in Kudjip, Papua New Guinea, and started medical works in the area. What began as a health center and nursing school for only a few students eventually blossomed into Kudjip Nazarene Hospital and Nazarene Health Ministries, spreading God’s love in Kudjip and six other provinces in the area.
Some of the first missionaries, nursing graduates, and workers at the hospital gave testimonies about the ministry over the years, including Papa Yapo, who has been serving the hospital with his wife for more than 40 years as an ambulance and tractor driver, maintenance man, cleaner, and more. Sr. Kini, one of the first graduates of the nursing college, told about her journey in becoming a nurse and how thankful she was for the opportunity to learn and share Christ’s love.
Jiwaka South District Superintendent Andrew Akus reminded those present that no matter what they do and where they go, the most important thing is to have at least one person come to faith and know Jesus. This has always been the focus of the hospital, and because of this, thousands of men and women hear about Christ and become followers.
"The healing has not been just physical, but spiritual as well—something that will last far longer," said Erin Meier, a missionary doctor at Kudjip Nazarene Hospital. "I have known this hospital and its ministry for the past 10 years, but I feel that its accomplishments have exceeded the number of years I have known the ministry. Listening to the different testimonies, I felt even more encouraged with my chosen ministry, and how I am part of something so much bigger."
Church of the Nazarene Global Mission Director Verne Ward told stories about his family's time serving in Dusin and spreading God’s love to many tribes who didn’t know much about Jesus. He encouraged everyone to continue following Jesus and to obey when He calls, even if it means going out of their comfort zone.
The church originally started by the Knoxes has now grown to 13 organized districts with hundreds of churches. The hospital itself has started 30 churches through the ministry of the chaplains.
"I feel truly blessed for the opportunity to be a part of Kudjip Nazarene Hospital, and how it continues to be the hands and feet of Jesus," Meier said. "Not one person who has been a part of this ministry over the past 50 years could have done it on their own. All of us continue to thank God for the people that He has called and ask for more to answer their call to missions to continue His kingdom work."[Church of the Nazarene Asia-Pacific]Read more

The Church of the Nazarene will hold its 29th General Assembly and Conventions this June in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. The quadrennial event will bring together thousands of Nazarenes from the denomination’s 162 world areas. In advance of this important event, the Board of General Superintendents is asking Nazarenes around the world to set aside every Friday afternoon, from 24 March through 23 June, as a time of fasting and prayer for General Assembly 2017 and to pray daily during the assembly, Sunday, 25 June through Thursday, 29 June.
In addition to praying that every service will be blessed with God’s manifest presence, please include the following specific requests as you pray:
- Pray for global political stability as well as protection for our event. We also pray that the delegates from all world areas where the Church of the Nazarene has ministry will be able to travel with safety and without obstruction.
- Pray that the intended focus of General Assembly 2017—strengthening our evangelistic perspective—will be realized.
- Pray that the Lord will use this “sacred assembly” to revive and renew our global church family as we gather for worship each evening and Sunday morning, celebrating One Body, One Spirit, One Hope, One Lord, One Faith.
- Pray for the Lord to guide and anoint the Monday Delegate Commissioning Service, the State of the Church message, and all the General Assembly 2017 elections and decisions.
- Pray for the conventions that are a part of this event: Nazarene Missions International (NMI), Nazarene Youth International (NYI), and Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International (SDMI). These global ministries convene to strengthen both their mission and impact, as well as to celebrate the blessings of God experienced around the world.
- Please offer continuing prayers for the official business sessions of General Assembly 2017. Pray that our delegates will be enriched by heavenly wisdom, the camaraderie of the spirit of fellowship, and continued commitment to the mission of making Christlike disciples.

Churches respond to food crisis in East Africa
Extreme drought, violent conflict, and scarcity have created a food crisis that is making it nearly impossible for people in East Africa to get the food they need to survive.
Famine has already been declared in South Sudan. Severe drought in other countries, including Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia, has created severe food shortages that will lead to famine if the situation is not addressed quickly.
More than 20 million people in this region are in need of urgent food assistance.
In East Africa, Church of the Nazarene leaders are working with local congregations to provide food for families and individuals who are vulnerable to extreme hunger.
Nazarenes in South Sudan have been greatly affected by the famine. Many have fled to neighboring countries, including Uganda and Ethiopia, to seek food and protection from violence. Others who are still in South Sudan are in urgent need of assistance. Church communities in neighboring countries in East Africa are also being affected by severe hunger and the food crisis.
Throughout the affected areas, many farmers are beginning to abandon their farms and homes in search of food in refugee camps that are hundreds of kilometers from their villages. Displacement would have profound negative impacts on these farmers and their families.
In 2011, the last time a famine threatened this region, nearly 260,000 people died from starvation and malnutrition. Half of those who died were children under age 5.
Church leaders are requesting prayer for those who are hungry and resources for local churches in East Africa as they seek to assist their neighbors.
How to help
Pray
Please pray for the people affected by this hunger emergency. Pray for rain in the region to help relieve drought. Pray for government and international organizations to respond with compassion and urgency. Pray for the local churches in the affected areas as they offer a tangible expression of Jesus’ love to their neighbors.
Give
You can support the emergency relief efforts of local churches in East Africa through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries by giving to the Africa Disaster Relief Fund.

Mesoamerica
Flags of the Nations: Nicaragua
The national flag of Nicaragua has three equal horizontal bands of blue, white, and blue with the national coat of arms centered in the white band. The coat of arms features a triangle encircled by the words Republica de Nicaragua on the top and America Central on the bottom.
Since September 1, 2009, each week the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: NicaraguaThe Church of the Nazarene officially entered Nicaragua in 1937.
Nicaragua had a population of 5,966,798 in 2016. That same year, Nicaragua reported 188 Churches of the Nazarene, 181 of which had been officially organized. Nicaragua has 15,040 total members.
Located on the Mesoamerica Region, Nicaragua has two Phase 3 districts, one Phase 2 district, and one Phase 1 district. For more information about the Mesoamerica Region, visit mesoamericaregion.org.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene. Read more

USA/Canada NYI hosts its largest leadership conference to date
USA/Canada Nazarene Youth International welcomed nearly 400 leaders to Kansas City, Missouri, 5-7 March for NYI Leadership Conference 2017. The conference doubled the previous record for largest attendance at an NYI Leadership Conference. It included a wide range of leaders, including youth pastors, senior pastors, district superintendents, college and university representatives, and additional church leaders from across the Church of the Nazarene's USA/Canada Region.
“The 2017 NYI Leadership Conference truly has the potential to create a ripple effect that extends to all corners of ministry with young people on the region,” said Justin Pickard, regional youth coordinator.
While past leadership conferences have emphasized developing a small group of district leaders, this year's conference focused primarily on engaging 15- to 29-year-olds across the Church of the Nazarene.
Over the course of a day and a half, presenters Kara Powell and Brad Griffin from Fuller Youth Institute shared insights and tools from their latest research project and book, Growing Young. Their presentation included examples of Nazarene leaders and churches that are already engaging young people well.
USA/Canada NYI also invited Joel Thiessen, professor of sociology at Ambrose University and director of Flourishing Congregations Institute, to discuss significant factors influencing the Church of the Nazarene’s engagement with young people in North America, specifically in Canada.
During each session, attendees participated in roundtable discussion to explore how they could take the next step in leading their churches and ministries to (re)engage a young generation.
NYI leaders hope the conference will further stimulate church-wide discussion around how the Church of the Nazarene can be a place where young people feel a sense of belonging, challenge, and purpose.[USA/Canada NYI]Read more
