Anne and I, along with John and Vicky Moore, the FSC for the Australia/New Zealand district, were in New Zealand this week for meetings and conferences. We had an excellent Mission Day conference on the Australia Northern Pacific District last Saturday on the Nazarene Theological College campus.

Steve Walsh, our friend, shared my outline of the presentation on Saturday at ANPD Church of the Nazarene Facebook group.

Below is the same outline he posted. May this resource be of help to you as well.
