We are excited to share that all the morning and evening sessions from Triennial 2024 are now available to watch and share with others!
While the evening sessions – featuring talks from Dr. Harry Kelm, Rev. Joseph Thomas, and Dr. Tony & Fabiola Campos – have been available from the beginning, the Friday and Saturday morning sessions – featuring devotionals by April Wahl and Adam Buyer – have now been added to the Triennial 2024 video playlist. (Unfortunately, due to the technical difficulties and cost related to the Sunday morning session taking place at a different venue, that sessions was never recorded.) We apologize that it took us longer than anticipated to get the two recorded morning sessions available online.
If you were unable to attend Triennial in St. Paul, Minnesota, back in July, we encourage you to check out the two morning sessions. Both April and Adam shared powerful messages about Christ’s peace in an unpeaceful world, and the worship band from Steamboat Rock Baptist Church helped usher us all into the presence of the Almighty. You can check out the videos at the link below.

There are only a few more days to register for Reframe, a four-week evangelistic training led by Merv Budd, equipping evangelist on the Missional Initiatives Team. The deadline is on Monday, October 28, with the first session taking place on Wednesday, October 30.
This training will take place over four weeks of 90-minute sessions. It will provide an evaluative framework to help you assess your evangelistic equipping efforts and help you to recognize gaps you may need to fill and distortions you will want to correct, providing a clearer path forward toward helping your church become more evangelistically faithful.
Training is free for NAB ministry leaders, you still need to register before the Monday deadline.
There is a kind of Gospel Language that is expressed when we follow Jesus’s instructions to love God and love others. Whether it is spoken through words or conveyed through actions, this Gospel Language can be heard and seen at churches all across the North American Baptist Conference. One of the ways it is expressed at McKernan Baptist Church in Edmonton, Alberta, is through MELL, their English-language learning ministry.
In some ways, MELL is an outgrowth of years of investment the church has made in connecting its pastors and leaders to the NAB’s missional and formational ministries such as Blue Ocean, where leaders from across the NAB are introduced, or reintroduced, to what it means to be a missional people who are being formed into the image of Christ and therefore seeking to draw others into that kind of life transformation. Would you consider giving to the Ministry Resource Fund, which helps, in part, make resources like Blue Ocean possible?
You can find ways to give through the link below. We have also created resources for you to use at your church, ministry group, or Bible study to invite other people to join in partnership to help support the ministry efforts covered by the Ministry Resource Fund.
