Seeking Better Results

Rev. Dr. Ashley Cleere, Executive Director

A NACCC preacher cited a human tendency to do the same thing repeatedly and expect different results. Immediately, I imagined trying to get my old home printer to shed its quirks and listen to the laptop no matter how many times I pressed the same keys.

Beyond tech challenges, I thought about new practices the NACCC adopted recently in hopes of achieving better outcomes.

  • Using new accounting software increases efficiency and is compatible with our donor database.
  • Holding two Ministers' Convocation at new-to-us locations eases travel time for many clergy.
  • Scheduling the Annual Meeting and Conference special event on Monday evening trims attendees' hotel costs and investment of time.
  • Contracting with a director of programs lends additional support to pastoral searches.

Question for 2023: What else do we need to do differently to become a more vital National Association?

Happy Life Juja Farm Campus

Julie Robie, Missions Coordinator

From Rev. Peter and Faith Ndungu (Kenya) and Rev. Jim and Sharon Powell (US), Happy Life Directors: “Since the beginnings of Happy Life in 2002, there became a need to expand to provide a larger area to build a school and to have housing for the expanding number of children.  In 2010, a 5-acre property was purchased in the area called Juja Farm.

Here is Juja Farm Campus, 2022 (click to enlarge)! By God’s Grace and Mercy: The Lord has used you as HIS partners to build and watch over HIS ministry. 

Is God Calling You?

Polly Bodjanac, Lay Ministry Training Program

Is God calling you to deepen your walk with Him, through the learning lens of Lay Ministry? It’s hard to believe we are now accepting applications for participation in our third cohort of the revamped, virtual Lay Ministry Training Program. The first cohort of 8 students began in September 2021. The second cohort of 6 students began in September 2022. Now is the time to begin accepting applications for participation in the third cohort which will begin in September 2023. Cohort C will offer Level 1 classes which include 10 sessions of learning. Level 1 is

the Discipleship Level and is designed for the individual who wants to deepen their walk with Christ. Learn more on the Lay Ministry Training Program page of the NACCC website.
