NAB Student Ministries

01/30/2025

As we have witnessed the ongoing devastation caused by the wildfires in Los Angeles, our hearts are heavy for the lives, homes, and communities impacted. We ask you to continue in prayer for those affected, and specifically for the ministries of Love Orange and Love Anaheim, two local, church-led initiatives actively bringing hope and relief to those in need through partnerships with local government. NAB pastors Nathan Zug and Ric Olsen lead these organizations.

Both Love Orange and Love Anaheim are key service project partners for The Gathering. This July 13–18, youth from across the NAB will be descending on Orange County, California, to attend The Gathering, a missions experience and youth conference that was planned long before these fires. We believe God has uniquely positioned us to serve and minister to the hurting communities in Los Angeles and surrounding communities in the aftermath of these fires, bringing Jesus’s hope in very tangible ways.

Through The Gathering, we’ll not only join in worship and discipleship with students across North America, but we will also partner with Love Orange and Love Anaheim to share Christ’s love and hope with those who will still be dealing with the fallout from these fires.

There is still time to register. We would love for your church to join us in this mission. Together, we can make a meaningful impact while inspiring the next generation to live out their faith.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership in the Gospel.

Wrapping up our week on Thursday night and Friday morning as a double feature, Eric Samuel Timm!!

He’s part artist, part speaker, author, and all passion – this is what gives Rev. Eric Samuel Timm relevance in today’s changing landscape. Speaking, painting, and performing for thousands each year, he is sought after for his ability to present God’s truth
in ways that are attractive both to the Church and to people who aren’t in a current relationship with Christ. Eric resides southeast of Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his wife, Danielle, and 3 children.

He has served for years in ministry in a church, and now serves a wide variety of folks in & out of churches, some who are getting married, and ministers to them by being fully present as the hands & feet of Jesus.

Looking forward to what April will share during our third session on Tuesday!!

April Diaz has been a visionary and challenger her entire life. She never imagined she'd lead a company, and yet believes in her bones that she's been preparing her whole life to build her team of Warrior Women at Ezer & Co. She believes we’re created for more than we’re currently experiencing, and says "I’ve spent my entire adult life developing marginalized leaders because I am one, activating them to live and lead with wholeness. Curating and cultivating teams is one of my favorite things. Secretly, I’m a mix of a total girly-girl and a tomboy, and I’m still crazy about my high school sweetheart, Brian. Together, we co-parent 3 rapidly growing kiddos (affectionately known as my ). We love where we live in Orange County, CA."
