Happy New Year!

Every church in our district has a fiscal new year. Though many churches have aligned their fiscal year with a calendar year, the Converge Heartland District's fiscal new year begins in September. This is the primary reason we hold our Annual District Business Meeting and Cultivate Conference in September...and it was great to see so many of you there! If you were not present, I invite you to look over the 2022 Annual Reports. 

On behalf of our district, I would like to say a special thank you to Converge Church in Omaha, NE, for its excellent hospitality! They had an exceptional volunteer team led by Rachel Miller that added unprecedented value to the entire event. Besides this, we were blessed with much congregational singing led by Thomas Slawson from Faith Baptist Fellowship in Sioux Falls. Beyond this, we were encouraged by messages, missionary testimonies, and workshops that pressed us to persevere in gospel ministry and Great Commission obedience.  

Thanks to Mark Miller, the Director of A/V at Converge Church, we can offer you main session recordings from the 2022 Cultivate Conference. These include the Converge Heartland & READ Ministries Ukraine Relief Update (through minute 32), an encouraging message from former Converge President Scott Ridout, entitled "Overcoming Adversity" (begins at minute 55), as well as two messages from Denny Howard, Director of Counseling and Coaching for the Full Strength Network, who spoke enlightening sessions on "Navigating Difficult Circumstances" (begins at minute 22:20), and "Navigating Relational Challenges" (begins at minute 10:50).

Thanks for your involvement and investment in Converge Heartland! 

He is worthy!
