With an ever-increasing focus and rising significance placed on children’s ministries AND with a national conference to implement , the Children’s Ministries Agency (CMA) of the Assemblies of God has had their work cut out for them!
With a new national leadership team fully installed as late as January, 2008 and with a national children’s ministries leadership conference quickly approaching, an event that would impact and encourage children’s leaders was vital!
“The transition was a smooth one,” said national CMA Director Jason Noble “it was seamless. We’re blessed to have such an amazing group of individuals both inside and outside of our office.”
The resulting event, which culminated April 1-4, 2008 in North Little Rock, AR was an event where lives were changed and ministries were impacted!
“Thanks for all you guys did to make this one of the best conferences. My team were all very complimentary and thought it was one of the best. God has put together a great National team and we look forward to where Children’s Ministries will go in the future.”
“Thanks for asking me to speak. It was an honor to serve. The "Big Breakthroughs through Spiritual Retreats" was very successful. Several Districts are starting Kid's Retreats next year as a result.”
“I need to remember to dream…”
“I am one of the older people that came to the convention and I just have to say
that I enjoyed the whole thing. You young folks make me proud. I am a pastor's wife filling the place of Children’s Church Pastor for the present. I have some goals to reach during this time I'm spending with our children and it is exciting to see Jesus working in their lives. All the encouragement I got at the NCMLC helps tremendously. God is up to great things in our church. And He is up to great things in this world He made.
You all made me feel very excepted and appreciated. Just you coming to our table and talking to us and finding out a little about us meant so much. Like you really do care about us. All I can say is Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. And may God bless you a 100 times over for all the work and time you invested in us.”
“I had my ministry confirmed through this conference!”
“I would just like to say you all did a fabulous job! The speakers were incredible, the staff was personable and attentive, the church was accommodating and the tornado is now part of my “first” experiences and hopefully my “last” experiences. Thank you for all you went through to encourage, equip and empower us as leaders. I hope to bring a crew to 2010! Thanks again…well done!”
“I want to serve my pastor more!”
“Thank you so much for all you did last week! I was super encouraged and learned soooo much! I was really impressed with the heart that was set by Jason in the opening seminar about "dreaming" and to see it progress from there was amazing! Super stoked about the amazing kids pastors/leaders that are rocking the nation and the amazing things God is about to do! THANK YOU!”
“I am going after the unnoticed children…”
“Thank you...it was a great conference and I am already networking with those artist who are helping meet my evangelistic outreach needs.”
