HANDBOOK

APRIL 15-17, 2011



Sponsored By:

Nazarene Youth International is an auxiliary organization of the Church of the Nazarene because they believe

that young people are an integral part of the Church. NYI exists to lead young people into a lifelong relationship

with Jesus Christ and to facilitate their growth as disciples for Christian service in the kingdom of God and their

integration into the Church of the Nazarene through ownership and empowerment.



The Northwest USA Regional NYI consists of local churches and district NYI groups in Alaska, Idaho,

Washington, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, northern Nevada and northern Utah. It exists to provide

resources and assist local churches and districts in ministry to youth and their families, to support and provide

input to the general / international level of NYI ministry, and to provide additional ministries and programs

possible through the combined effort and common fellowship of the region.



These ministries and programs shall contribute to our values:



 We value Young People… significant in the kingdom of God.

 We value the Bible…God’s unchanging truth for our lives.

 We value Prayer… vital interactive communication with our heavenly father.

 We value the Church… a global holiness community of faith, diverse in nature but one in Christ.

 We value Worship… life-changing encounters with an intimate God.

 We value Discipleship… a lifestyle of becoming like Christ.

 We value Community … building relationships that help bind us together and to God.

 We value Witness… sharing God’s love in word and deed.



All regional NYI events and programs shall have at least one or several of these objectives for which time, energy,

and money in our ministry to youth and their families are expended.



The Northwest USA Regional NYI Council is made up of the following Ex officio members: the Regional NYI

President, Regional NYI secretary & treasurer, the District NYI Presidents of the seven districts on the region

(Alaska, Colorado, Intermountain, Northwest, Oregon Pacific, Rocky Mountain and Washington Pacific), the NNU

NYI Liaison and the Main Event Coordinator. The full council shall also include the Team NYI regional trainer, NNU

Student Body President, Bible Quizzing Director, Sports Director, and Special Events Director. The council meets

two times annually: September and prior to the Regional Main Event.

Regional Main Event

Statement of Philosophy and Purpose

Regional Main Event is a vehicle through which talents and leadership skills of youth are developed,

encouraged, and used for Jesus Christ. The process begins in a local church setting, where youth are encouraged

in their special gifts and abilities, continues through district events such as talent festivals, athletic competition

and quizzing programs and extends to the regional event held each year at NNU. Regional Main Event is more

than an annual regional event; it’s a yearlong emphasis on talent/leadership development at every level.



Romans 12:1 tells us that we are to, “Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating going-to-work,

and walking around life-and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing

you can do for him.” We must be diligent to provide opportunities for development and use of talents and abilities

that challenge youth to reach their full potential of offering their lives everyday in worship centered lifestyles.



Personal development is an important part of Regional Main Event. Our talents are an indication of His

grace, not our own “special-ness” and are designed to help us live out our lives of worship by serving Him and

others. It is for helping to build the body of believers in our local church and community. God expects us to

develop our talents and gifts so that we become the best we can be, with His power flowing through us, so that

we can offer our lives in a true worship centered lifestyle.



Training for leadership is another vital aspect. In preparation to live a worship centered lifestyle through

discipline, use of their talents publicly, and in working in the community of the local church, a teenager develops

leadership skills that can be channeled in a variety of ways both in the present and the future. Their presentation

may not always be great by certain standards, but what happens inside of them as they use their talents is!

Whether it’s singing, public speaking, creative arts, preaching, Bible quizzing, or team/individual sports, they

develop leadership abilities, which become a part of their worship in the church community for years to come.



Competition is part of the Regional Main Event experience, but within a Christian understanding. When

Christians compete, they compete against what they know they can do. When we achieve our best, then we are a

winner. Competing helps us work harder than we might on our own. A Christian attitude toward competitors

should be one of companionship and gratitude, helping each other become better.



Trophies and awards provide secondary motivation to work hard; of primary importance is knowing that we

improve and others achieve more when we have participated. Since Christ is the source of all talent, we rejoice in

Him for what everyone accomplishes. Even those who fail to receive an award can rest assured that God will use

them where their unique talents can best function, rather than become bitter because someone else may have

more talent recognized in a certain area. As youth leaders, it is extremely important that we help teenagers

understand the Christian view of competition; since we cannot shield them from it in life, we must help them live

as Jesus would in the midst of it.



Finally, participation should be validated at every level. Local churches should provide opportunities for

teens to share their talents whether in church services or local festivals. Zones and Districts should organize their

own competition days as significant times of sharing and competition, emphasizing that everyone who participates

is valued, not just those who advance to the next level. It is not just a competition to see who goes on to the

regional level. The rewards for those who participate and improve themselves are far greater than winning at the

regional level. May local and district youth be better equipped to make a difference in our world through our

year-long efforts to build leaders and share talents!

Spiritual Direction



The NW Region NYI Council is proud to, once again, offer Spiritual Direction for youth leaders,

sponsors and adults. Below is an introduction to this year’s Spiritual Director and information to

learn more about Spiritual Direction.









Trisha Nelson

2011 Main Event

Spiritual Director









Trisha Nelson Bio

Through my years as a Christian, I’ve felt the pull toward a closer relationship with Jesus become a steady

longing. I taught at a Christian school, was active in women’s ministries at my church, belonged to Bible studies

and had an active prayer life. Still hungering, I felt God’s invitation to silent prayer and the contemplative

Christian disciplines.



I had the opportunity to attend daily spiritual direction sessions during a five-day Sabbath retreat in Philadelphia

in 2002. Being heard and understood by someone who was trained to help me recognize God’s movements in my

life began a powerful forward movement in my spiritual journey. I prayerfully sought out a spiritual director,

with whom I met monthly. In time, I felt God nudging me to become equipped to be able to offer to others what

has been of such benefit to me.



I completed a two-year spiritual direction training program at the Kairos School of Spiritual Formation (www.on-

the-journey.org) and returned to Kairos for a third year in spiritual direction supervision. I am a member of

Spiritual Directors International. My husband and I relocated to Boise in July, 2006. We attend Boise First

Community Center.



What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is provided (for youth pastors/workers) at this event because we know that caring for your own

soul and taking time to pay attention to what God is doing in your life is central to ministry.



So, what is spiritual direction?

Spiritual direction is a relationship in which one person assists another in attending to the presence and call of

God in all of life. The term “spiritual director” tends to sound a bit lofty, even guru-ish, especially for those

unfamiliar with its use. We continue to use this term in Christian circles, however, because spiritual direction has

been a vital ministry in the church for hundreds of years.



The true ”director” is the Holy Spirit and an underlying assumption and basis for spiritual direction is that God

through Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit is actively drawing us to God. God is working constantly,

actively, powerfully in the very midst of our ordinary, everyday routines and life circumstances. A spiritual

director is one way to help us pay attention to what God is doing in our lives. We are encouraged as we

encourage each other to let our routine and busyness be interrupted long enough to notice God’s wooing us and to

become more deeply aware of God’s presence with us.

12

Who is spiritual direction for?

Spiritual direction is for anyone yearning for God. Sometimes this desire appears as a sense of longing for

something greater or a sense of discontent with the status quo. For others this longing is more focused, rising

from a clear understanding that they are missing a sense of God’s presence in particular parts of their lives.

Spiritual direction is normally done with individuals, but can also be helpful for couples or small groups.



How is spiritual direction different from pastoral counseling?

People usually enter a pastoral counseling relationship because something is wrong in their life. Counseling tends

to be crisis-oriented or problem-driven. Solving particular problems or handling specific crises is not the goal of

spiritual direction, though often these things are present in the conversation. It takes the long view. The

spiritual direction relationship looks for how God is working, calling, prodding, and inviting us to new ways of

being with Christ in the midst of our circumstances. It focuses on building an intimate relationship with Jesus

over a lifetime, through all the problems, crises, joys and blessings.



What does a typical spiritual direction session look like?

Direction sessions are usually one hour in length and can be held anywhere conducive to intentional conversation-

quiet office, coffee house, park bench.

The director usually does more listening than talking as both director and directee explore together what God

might be doing in the areas being discussed.



How can I find a spiritual director?

Youth Worker Resource Dinner / Hosted by Barefoot Training



Youth Workers are some of the most innovative, creative, and resourceful people I know! We are constantly

looking for cost effective and life impacting resources to equip, teach, and inspire us as we journey alongside

teens.



This year as we gather for Main Event we want to provide an opportunity to share resources. Barefoot Trainer,

Kenny Wade, will kick-off this time of information sharing, but most of our time will be spent hearing from you!



What books, videos, studies, freebies, websites, blogs, events, ideas, tricks, mishaps, and ingenious resources

have you encountered that have made all the difference?



Here’s your chance to resource all of us! As we partner together over a meal, get some free stuff, and share

ideas…my hope and prayer is that Jesus’ Spirit will ignite creativity and insight among us!



If you have a resource idea you want to share early or won’t be at Main Event to share, email Kenny early and

we’ll pitch your idea at the dinner!

Regional Main Event Adult Sponsor Job Description

Regional Main Event is a youth talent competition sponsored by the Northwest USA Region Nazarene Youth

International, on the campus of Northwest Nazarene University, yet final responsibility for the rules, policies, and

procedures of Regional Main Event belong to the NYI. And that means YOU!



Much like a youth camp or district retreat relies on the NYI adult leadership, the success of Regional Main

Event depends on you. As district sponsors, we must all come to the weekend’s activities recognizing that we are

responsible to make it run smoothly and to address any problems that arise as we would if they happened in our

own home church. Often we attend university-sponsored events and rely on the university to make everything

work well and everyone happy. But Regional Main Event is an NYI event that just happens to be on campus. NNU

is relying on us as adult sponsors to keep our teens involved, content, and “out of trouble”. This will involve:



1. Supervision of all teen participants and spectators is the sole responsibility of the districts and local churches

involved. While teens are on campus, please work to make sure they observe campus rules and exhibit

appropriate Christian behavior.

2. Adult sponsors are responsible for conduct in the residence halls and hotels. They must see that they are in

their rooms by midnight curfew, and that they are out of the rooms by 9:00 AM. Teens will not be allowed to

loiter in their rooms during the day! Adults should check by on a regular basis to ensure that teens are out of

the living areas. Please do not leave campus for an extended amount of time, leaving us short-handed in

supervision.

3. Sponsors may be involved as coaches or district coordinators in competition areas, making sure that

participants know their performance or game time, encouraging them as they compete, and being there for

support. Sponsors may also have some specific responsibilities with the event, but cannot serve as regional

Adult Volunteers (since these will be involved in other ways).

4. Adult sponsors should take responsibility for ALL teens at Regional Main Event, not just those from your own

district or church. In other words, if you see something problematic being done by a teen from another

district, please involve yourself in the correction of the situation. We are asking that you provide security and

supervision for student participants and guests. We want this to be a pleasant experience for everyone

involved, and know that the continual presence of adult sponsors will provide both and guidance during the

event.

5. Many who attend will not know Jesus; others may be struggling. Be prepared to counsel, pray with, or lead

teens to Christ at any time! Sponsors are the key! Also, be ready to counsel with teens in the “heat of

competition”. Some will be learning for the first time how a Christian responds differently to competition than

the world does; be a model of Christian sportsmanship! Some may be discouraged when they don’t do as well

as they would have liked; be an encourager! Help every teen to do their best, yet feel secure in God’s love

and in their efforts to improve themselves in their talent, no matter what the result!



ATTENTION!!! There will be a mandatory Adult Sponsor meeting on Friday in the Brandt Center.
