Nurturing Care at M25 Conference

M25, a national gathering for the Church of the Nazarene provided a platform for the Nurturing Care Initiative. Our engagement with attendees at our information booth provided an opportunity to discuss both our West Coast/Virtue Formation initiative but also our Kansas City/Autism initiative. The event included Dr. Dean Blevins’ presentation “Evangelism on the Spectrum” to approximately 100 attendees, which amplified the initiative with autistic children. Overall Nurturing Care engaged well over 200 ministers during the three day event.
