“The Ground Before the Cross of Christ Is Level.”
This is our NMI 2026 focus — and Pastor Josh is coming to help us live it out.

In less than a week, at our NWO NMI Pre Conference Meeting, Josh will share:
• Why every age matters in the mission of God
• How to reach people across generations, cultures, and backgrounds
• Practical ways to encourage Christ followers to share the Gospel
• How to build strong disciples in every corner of our communities
• Why we must never assume who will or won’t respond to Christ’s call

Josh brings enthusiasm, humility, and a deep passion for seeing people transformed by Jesus. You’ll leave encouraged, challenged, and equipped to help your church reach everyone with the Gospel.

Come join us as we pursue Christ’s mission together.
All are welcome. All are invited. All stand on level ground at the foot of the cross.

Meet Our Pre‑Conference Speaker: Pastor Josh!

We’re thrilled to welcome Pastor Josh, Lead Pastor of New Lebanon Church of the Nazarene, to our NWO NMI Pre‑Conference Meeting.

Josh’s story is a powerful reminder that the ground before the cross of Christ is level. Raised in the church, he walked away from his faith in his early twenties — but through the intentional disciple‑making investment of a pastor, God drew him back. Today, Josh is passionate about relational ministry, intentional discipleship, and reaching people of every age and background with the hope of Jesus.

He’s a bi‑vocational pastor, a machinist of 15 years, a student at Asbury University, a husband, and a dad of two (with a third on the way!). His life reflects the truth he’ll be sharing with us: never pre‑decide who God can reach. Christ calls, Christ saves, and Christ sets people free.

Join us as we prepare our hearts for what God wants to do in our churches and communities.

NMI Monday Update
April 20, 2026

Good morning, NMI Team!
As we look ahead to General Assembly 2027, our global church is stepping into something special — a worldwide service initiative called Love Your Neighbor.

Highlight of the Week: Love Your Neighbor 2027
During General Assembly week in Kansas City (June 20–27, 2027), Nazarenes around the world will join together in a unified movement of service — both in Kansas City and in their own communities.

Two Ways You Can Participate:
• Serve in Kansas City alongside Nazarenes from around the world
• Serve right where you are by organizing a local ministry project during the same week

Our hope is that this becomes a global wave of compassion, with Nazarenes serving their neighbors everywhere at the same time.

Action Step:
Pre-register and learn more here: Love Your Neighbor 2027 – Church of the Nazarene (https://nazarene.org/LYN/)

Begin planning how your church or district will participate as we prepare for General Assembly!

Let’s Stay on Mission Together

We’re excited to see how God uses this movement to bless communities near and far.
