The NRB Convention has long been a highlight of the Ambassador year … and this year being no different—in fact, perhaps a best ever as we review the variety of speakers, connection opportunities, workshops and panels and great fellowship in the halls! We no longer gather in “The Pit” (for old-timers who remember the Washington Sheraton years) but rather in so many options for private conversations or impromptu hymn-singing.
We look forward to seeing so many friends. And, if we may … your prayers for the event will be appreciated as our own Jim Sanders serves as Chairman for the Executive Committee. That team, alongside the tremendous NRB staff, have labored earnestly to ensure a week that is informative as well as inspirational.

While we are surrounded by faithful Kingdom workers, it’s a joy to recognize outstanding impact this year in these awards …
→ “Sharing Life Today” … receives the NRB’s Radio Program of the Year award. Launched in 2015, the 1:00 feature is produced by Evangelism Explosion and features the voice of EE’s president John Sorensen.
