What is NYC? Who will pray for NYC? How much does it cost for a teen from North Eastern Indiana to go to NYC? How will we raise the funds we need for our youth to go to NYC 2015?
There are 2 videos included in this presentation. The videos cannot be seen unless the presentation is downloaded. I compressed the media for presentation and updated the Power Point.
3. What is NYC?
NYC stands for Nazarene Youth Conference.
It is an exciting, life-changing event for high school students that occurs just once every four years.
It is the second-largest event sponsored by the Church of the Nazarene.
NYC is open to students entering 9th grade in the fall of 2015
through those just graduated from high school as members of the class of 2015.
