Mission Conference
New Wilmington
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me . . .” Luke 4:18 2008 Theme Verse
NWMC- A Christian Mission Conference With An Emphasis On Youth 12-24
People from all over the U.S. and the world attend.
Held on the campus of Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA
NWMC It’s about…
• Turning young people on to what mission is really all about, in their schools, downtown, or across an ocean.
• Helping the church move out into the world.
• Jesus Christ making a difference in the world.
Here’s what people are saying…
I read about it in my church
bulletin and just decided to come.
I’ve been wanting to come to
something like this, I just
didn’t know about
NWMC.
I enjoyed being part of the choir most, learning a
song and performing it right away.
I started meeting new friends as soon as I arrived at the dorm.
“I have Conference friends all over the world. We share in a different way than with my friends back home.”
“In a world where there is so much to be done, I realized there must be something I can do.”
"NWMC gives us courage to attempt great things for God."
“It’s an opportunity to learn about what God is
doing in the world.”
“And that God can use us for His glory.”
"Conference has been the highlight of not only my summer but of my faith development. Most of the key events in my life
surround Conference itself, people I met at Conference, or a lesson I remember from Conference."
“We commit ourselves- one person, one voice, one vote at a time- to make a better, safer world for all.”
“I came for the first time with my two girls (Jr High and Kid’s program) and they were changed
by the NWMC experience. We’ll be back.”
“My counselor would drop
anything at any second to have
a heart-to-heart…”
Counselors and small groups are provided for delegates ages 12 to 24.
“We don’t go to Conference just to
be inspired…
…we go to have a great time.”
We eat in the
dining halls
Sleep in the college dorms
Enjoy the whole college campus
for a week
People of all ages are invited to NWMC and it adds to the special
opportunity created there.
But… the speakers and the special events are chosen for Junior and Senior High and Young Adults through age 24.
We gather twice a day to worship and hear great speakers.
Other activities are age specific.
There’s time to visit the mission fair
Learn about other cultures
And participate in service projects…
In 2007 delegates assembled
320 World Vision AIDS Caregiver Kits, 180 health care kits,
52 new baby kits for Covenant Hospital in
Haiti, 78 nursing home kits, and several
hundred craft gifts for missionaries to give in
outreach
We sometimes struggle with issues related
to our faith.
We fellowship with others in prayer,
study and worship.
Missionaries help us learn what God is doing in the world today
And about ways we can help.
The 2007 Summer Service Team spent 6 weeks in
Guatemala.
The 2008 team will be going to Malawi
Conference is also a time to make new friends or connect
with old ones.
A time for sports
Music
Drama
And, we enjoy lots of free time…
For fun activities
Or, just relaxing
Come as a Youth Group … or come by yourself.
Work in the dining hall tohelp with costs.
Experience NWMC with us
For “Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.”
