NMI Quadrennial Theme 2009 - 2013
To Make Christlike Disciples in the Nations
Quadrennial Sub-themes 2009-13
The NMI Executive Committee proposed and the general council and general convention approved these sub-themes, combining Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 1:8:
Year One: To Make Christlike Disciples in Our Jerusalem (family and local church)
Year Two: To Make Christlike Disciples in Our Judea (neighborhood, city, and
county/province)
Year Three: To Make Christlike Disciples in Our Samaria (cross-culturally, state, and
nation)
Year Four: To Make Christlike Disciples in the Nations (globally)
These sub-themes will retain the core concept of the quadrennial theme. For the fourth year, rather than saying "to the ends of the earth", we would retain the words of the quadrennial theme: "in the nations." We think that to say "to the ends of the earth" could complicate or distract from our statement of mission. The parenthetical statements explain what we mean by Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.
