With the Triennial Conference just over two months away, pastors and church members are not the only ones making travel plans for Orlando, Florida.  Many of our NAB International Missionaries have been able to schedule home assignment, vacation, or other leave in such a way that they will be able to join us.  At Triennial this year we will be honoring a number of International Missionaries retiring from a career of NAB service (Bill and Luci Lengefeld, Doug and Sharon Woyke, and Pat Lenz), hearing reports from two Field Directors (Cal Hohn from Cameroon and Paul Ewing from Japan), as well as having the opportunity to visit with many other NAB International Missionaries.

Spring greetings from Folsom, CA! As has been the practice of our Executive Team for quite some time now, we want to keep you updated on happenings here at the International Office.

The annual retirement matching contributions for 2011 plan year participants were completed during the last week of March 2012. Full-time NAB pastors and church staff who participate in one of the Conference sponsored retirement plans should see the $300 contribution reflected in their accounts very soon.  NAB contributed $39,300 to retirement accounts for Canadian plan participants and $59,100 for US participants. These contributions are made possible through endowment earnings and ongoing donations to the Ministers’ Retirement Fund.
