Anderson, President and CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">January 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following God\u2019s call, the National Benevolent Association exists to inspire and connect the people and ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), to accompany one another in the creation of communities of compassion and care, and to advocate for the well-being of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Core Values<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serving as the Disciples health and social service general ministry for more than 130 years, NBA\u2019s mission has been, and continues to be, responsive to the needs of the church and society. Over this long history, we have had the joy\u2014and the challenge\u2014of supporting the church across a rich array of issues. As the NBA, we are grounded in core values that focus our work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rooted in Compassionate Care: We celebrate those who have served before us in creating a just world. The NBA\u2019s mission and work emerged from the faithful witness of six Disciples women seeking to address the needs of children and families in need. We value this legacy of serving the \u201cleast of these\u201d and endeavor to root all our initiatives in the value and dignity of human life and in serving a world that God so loves.<\/li><li>Accountability: We claim our duty to be effective stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We are fiscally responsible and acknowledge our accountability to our partners and the communities we serve. We treat others with respect and strive to conduct our work in the spirit of transparency and openness. Where there is brokenness, we strive for reconciliation.<\/li><li>Collaborative Partnerships: We believe that meaningful results to build compassionate and caring communities happen only when we can work in partnership with God and a wide diversity of others \u2013 individuals, communities, churches and organizations. We affirm that by working with partners, as well as those we serve, and by practicing humble leadership, we have what we need to make a difference.<\/li><li>Accompaniment: We value the creative voice and mind of all people as we seek to heed God\u2019s call, especially in developing solutions through creative and innovative efforts designed to address personal challenges and systemic oppression. As we assume a posture of openness, we find in each other\u2019s company the \u201cbread\u201d that will sustain us all. As we share life\u2019s joys and struggles, at times picking up one another\u2019s load and going the hard way together, we create communities of compassion and care.<\/li><li>Forward Leaning: We commit to learning and adapting as we move into the future. We understand that during times of change and new directions, the path forward often involves uncertainty and challenges. Through our shared efforts of advocacy, education, pastoral response, and professional care and services, we move towards the health and well-being of all.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NBA Mission and Ministry Grant Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2019 was the third year of NBA\u2019s Mission and Ministry Grant Program, supporting Disciples congregations and health and social service ministries working with older adults and at-risk children and youth across the life of the church. Utilizing approved, purpose-restricted funds in these two areas, grants are available for Disciples congregations and health and social service ministries across three categories\/amounts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Catalyst Grants: $1,000 &#8211; $5,000: These are startup funds to get projects up and running and\/or to expand an existing project to a new area\/initiative.<\/li><li>Innovation Grants: $6,000 &#8211; $15,000: These funds should help move an established project to a new level of effectiveness and impact.<\/li><li>Impact Grants: $20,000+: These funds should be used for major leaps in project areas with a proven plan for how these will move the organization to a new level of sustainability and impact.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grant Committee accepted applications during the summer\/fall 2019, and grantees were announced in December 2019. For this third cohort, the NBA granted a total of $166,200 to 22 Disciples projects located across 13 Disciples regions. Of these 22 selected projects, 13 are focused on at-risk children and youth; 7 are focused on older adults; and 2 are intergenerational, serving both communities. Five of these grantees also received Mission and Ministry Grant funds from NBA last year. Stories and impact reports from these grantees will be shared on our website, nbacares.org, throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Ministries and Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Benevolent Association (NBA) serves as a general ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The NBA works with individuals \u2013 nonprofit administrators, volunteer leaders, lay and clergy \u2013 and nonprofit organizations to strengthen and transform communities. We support individuals through professional and leadership development that includes models of peer to peer learning cohorts, coaching and mentorship, and intentional living and learning communities. We foster opportunities for continuing education for our partners and the general public through online learning webinars, intensive educational retreats, and small group cohorts. In our work with direct care and advocacy nonprofits, we offer consultation services in areas such as strategic planning, human resources, board development, and financial accounting. The NBA serves in collaborative partnership with congregations, regions, and other general ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), along with Disciples-related health and direct care providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NBA Incubate Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NBA Incubate Initiative strives to encourage and support the development of new and innovative health and social service ministries and organizations by Disciples. These ministries, in turn, inform and inspire fellow Disciples throughout our communities and across the life of the church. Together, we expand the church&#8217;s understanding of and capacity for health and social service ministry as part of Christ&#8217;s work in the world. The goal of this initiative is to support and empower new Disciple-related health and social service organizations, projects, and ministries\u2014what we\u2019re also calling social enterprises\u2014to focus on their growth, strengthen their impact, and work toward sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of January 2020, ten ministries are formally affiliated with the NBA as part of the NBA Incubate Initiative. We help these entities strategically strengthen areas such as board development, capacity building, administrative mentoring, marketing and communications, fundraising and development, bookkeeping services, sustainability, Disciples relationships, and more. Last year, the NBA welcomed a new Incubate Partner based in Los Angeles, California, known as Broken, Mended, and Restored (BMAR) led by Rev. Dr. Lisa Enders Tunstall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2019, the NBA hosted its fifth Incubate Retreat for emerging Disciples-related health and social service ministry leaders to create intentional space for rest, renewal, and equipping for the ministry of social entrepreneurship. In September 2019, the NBA again hosted the SENT Seminar: Equipping Social Entrepreneurs for Leadership and Change. This training brought together 15 Disciples-related health and social service ministry start-ups to learn and share in a variety of topics, including leadership coaching, legal principles for faith-based entities, marketing, and fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NBA Incubate Initiative also continued our Social Enterprise Resource Bank, an online clearinghouse featuring blogs, webinars, and other resources to help support Disciples social entrepreneurs and ministries across the life of the church. Virtual learning opportunities include an expanded webinar series, with topics in 2019 including fundraising, community transformation, mission\/vision\/values, board development, and succession planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NBA XPLOR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019-2020, we are now in our sixth year of NBA XPLOR, a 10-month, faith-based residency for young adults who are exploring the intersections of the life of faith and the work of justice. The Residency provides 10-months of leadership development and vocational discernment for 21- to 30-year-olds to live simply in community and engage in direct service and justice work. In 2018-19, NBA XPLOR placed 20 Residents at six host sites\u2014Bloomington, Indiana; St. Louis, Missouri; Hiram-Mantua, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; Spokane, Washington; and XPLORmore in Charlotte, North Carolina\u2014the latter serving as a new, second-year Residency experience called XPLORmore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cohort begins with an intensive week of orientation and anti-oppression training, called XPLOR Laboratory, which was held in Leavenworth, KS, in late August before the XPLOR Residents traveled to their host communities. There, NBA XPLOR Residents serve six hours a week with their host congregations and about 30 hours a week through community engagement site internships spanning a variety of health, social services, and social justice ministries and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NBA XPLOR Residents are currently working with low-income families, unhoused individuals, people with disabilities, older adults, vulnerable children, and undocumented persons, among others. They are learning grant writing, event planning, community advocacy, and much, much more. These professional and leadership skills make a huge impact. Through their dedicated work, spiritual practices, and exploration this year, these young adults are now discerning calls to social work, education, community organizing, medicine, military, ministry, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advocacy and Activism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also continue to deepen our engagement in Advocacy and Activism to transform the root causes of social injustice. In NBA\u2019s strategic planning for 2018-2021, we named Advocacy and Activism as a strategic priority, flowing from NBA\u2019s mission to \u201cadvocate for the well-being of humanity.\u201d Following the trajectory of the work begun with the Ferguson Justice Initiative, these efforts utilize relationships, wisdom, and processes built and tested through that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a 0.5 FTE Program Coordinator for Advocacy and Activism, the NBA nurtures engagement strategies to equip and train partners to address the critical social justice issues most relevant to their work and collaborates with NBA staff to cultivate partnerships across the life of the church to coordinate efforts related to social justice theology, action, and advocacy. &nbsp;In 2019, the work included the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Advocacy and Activism Peer Group:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This peer group continued meeting, resourcing, and supporting one another as members and in their advocacy work. As members, they meet virtually and in-person with a particular focus on social justice issues; language and the theological foundations of social justice; and direct action and advocacy efforts. Last year, members of the peer group participated in an NBA-sponsored immersion and learning delegation along the U.S. and Mexico border that focused on justice issues impacting immigrants and families. The peer group, which launched in August 2018, is preparing to conclude and transition in August 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Disciples Public Presence Working Group:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Standing Rock Protests and other social justice crises led to the creation of Disciples Public Presence, a Facebook group and advocacy platform to give Disciples a common place to share their life in current justice movements. In October 2018, the first Disciples Public Presence Conference and Working Group were formed, gathering more than 60 Disciples and 25 working group members committed to strengthening the justice infrastructure by implementing priorities in worship\/theology, communications, mass mobilization and sustained organizing. The NBA, along with several other justice-related ministries, provided staff time and programmatic support to ensure the forward momentum of the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prison and Jail Ministries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NBA connects collaborative communities of Disciples working&nbsp;together on particular health and social service justice issues.&nbsp;Through Prison and Jail Ministries, the NBA supports Disciples engaged in spiritual care and advocacy ministries with those who are or have been incarcerated and their families. This area of work centers around education, inspiration, and advocacy. The Prison and Jail Ministries webinar series continued in 2019, with topics including the restoration of voting rights for returning citizens after incarceration; mental health, the criminal justice system and the Church; Bail reform; and an introduction to the resource video series on the criminal justice system, \u201cWe Are Witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Prison and Jail Ministries Peer Group:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 2018, NBA launched the second cohort of the Prison and Jail Ministries Peer Group, welcoming 10 members to this two-year peer group experience, which focuses on: 1) education through peer-to-peer learning and sharing experiences, expertise, and resources on prison- and jail-related issues; 2) inspiration through spiritual renewal practices and self-care; and 3) advocacy by engaging in a collaborative service or advocacy project. As mentioned above, this peer group helped lead and coordinate the fall immersion and learning delegation to the U.S. and Mexico border to engage and know more about the issues impacting immigrants and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mental Health and Wellness Initiative: Embodying and Promoting a Vision of Holistic Wellness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NBA takes seriously its call to create communities of compassion and care through dialogue and action centered on issues related to mental health. Our work centers on resourcing Disciples-related health and social organizations and ministries. We seek to serve the whole church through partnerships with general ministry partners, collaborations with regional offices\/ministries, and support for congregations, higher-education institutions, and community-based organizations. Our NBA Mental Health and Wellness Initiative takes a collaborative approach that is rooted in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sound and liberating theological understanding of mental health and wellness<\/li><li>Effective and practical strategies for spiritual coping\/ practices<\/li><li>Accessible and clinically-informed education and resources<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We seek to equip Disciples communities and organizations in crafting structures and models of wellness with a particular emphasis on leadership wellness and corporate health. Ways we lived into this commitment in 2019 included offering SoulCare moments to the General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in July in Des Moines (OH), continued work with peer groups\/networks such as Disciples chaplains and pastors, seminarians, activists\/organizers, and conducting trainings on mental health and wellness for our NBA program participants (XPLOR and Incubate partners). Another core commitment in our initiative is that we support wellness and mental health work in all communities in order to address and combat issues of wellness equity. Related to this commitment, our work included hosting information and training sessions in partnership with Obra Hispana Disciples\u2019 communities, offering culturally contextual workshops, and creating resources that address mental health stigmas and misperceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shared work supporting mental health extended to regional ministry through the Regional Mental Health Initiative with the Christian Church in Georgia (GAMHI), providing education, support, and infrastructure development to Disciples leaders and congregations in the Georgia Region. This pilot partnership concluded in 2018, with the Georgia Region and the NBA. In January of 2019, leaders hosted a webinar sharing resources and learnings around the initiative. Additional webinars presented in 2019 included a grief and loss worship service, suicide post-vention, and another webinar on children and trauma with a special focus on detention and incarceration. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Chaplains Peer Group:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mental Health Initiative launched in early 2019. <a>The vision of this peer group is to provide an opportunity for likeminded individuals living out their call through chaplaincy to focus on:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) education through peer-to-peer learning and sharing experiences, expertise, and resources on chaplaincy related issues; 2) inspiration through spiritual renewal practices and self-care; and 3) advocacy by engaging in a collaborative service or advocacy project. Influenced by the needs of the cohort, this peer group will also give particular attention to the issues of mental health, personal spiritual devotion practices, and healthy work\/life balance formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Disciples-Related Health and Social Service Ministries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NBA continues to support and partner with a network of care providers and justice-minded individuals who serve as the \u201chands and feet of God\u201d in their communities. Our goals are to connect, resource, and amplify these ministries, providing access to a constellation of support and services, such as marketing and development consulting, executive coaching, back-office accounting, and executive searches, as well as networking with other partners through webinars, educational trainings, and peer learning and wellness group opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first Connect Conference for Disciples-related Health and Social Service Ministries was held in October 2018 with plans underway for another conference in the fall of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A directory of Disciples-related health and social service ministries connected with NBA follows this report.

The focus of our ministry is to serve as a specialist pantry providing care to the youngest and most vulnerable members of our community. All of our clients are enrolled in government supplemental feeding programs (SNAP\/Food Stamps or WIC). As these programs were never designed to provide a full month of nutrition, families and infants often do not have enough for non-food essentials such as diapers, feeding bottles, pacifiers, and hygiene essentials. These are the gaps that A Small Hand fills. As an all-volunteer agency, the vision and goals of A Small Hand are that children can reach their full developmental potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Broken, Mended and Restored (BMAR)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev.

It was their first bike, or their kid\u2019s first bike \u2013 and they don\u2019t simply want to set it on the curb, or donate it to a large, faceless charity. They want to know that their bike can provide the same freedom and hope to a person in need that they experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Child Saving Institute (CSI)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peg Harriott, President and CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4545 Dodge Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68132<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(402) 553-6000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=index-2824.html>www.childsaving.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Child Saving Institute provides a safe haven and healing for thousands of innocent young victims of family crisis, neglect and abuse.
