It’s a casual setting where attendees feel free to ask questions, have dinner, listen to the presentation and share their thoughts with one another.

The Hope for the Nations conference Sept. 17-20 was a huge success. More than 130 members of the ADOSC attended. Twenty-nine of those were from St. Michael’s. Daniel Booman, 11-year-old son of the Rev. David and Caitie Booman (former St. Michaelite clergy and staff) preached at the final plenary, just before ADNA Archbishop Steve Wood spoke.
To hear both of their sermons please go to the link below. Daniel’s talk starts around 1 minute 19 seconds into the video.

Dandelion Ministries
Cutchogue, NY
The Revs. Kate and Sean Norris played an integral role at the recent Hope For The Nations conference held by New Wineskins. One example of Kate’s ministry was the creation of a large painting of Christ’s nail scarred hand and arm. In her own words, she “wanted to convey our rescue by Jesus Christ as well as his promise to never let us go. Jesus’ hand is the larger hand, bearing the nail mark, and lifting the smaller hand, our hand, out of darkness. He is the life of every Christian and the hope for all nations.”
Kate and Sean also utilized their art and music ministry at the ADNE Reawakening conference which was held October 17-18, 2025.

Hyer Family
Cebu City, Philippines
On 9/30, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake shook Cebu for 30 seconds, killing 74, injuring 559 and displacing 80,000. Fortunately, for the Hyer family, none of its members were indoors or injured. Since then there have been aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 1 to 5.1, one of which lasted 30-40 seconds. As Cebu recovers plans are being made to expand the Living Water project to more communities in need of reliable supplies of water. On August 8, the first Living Water project was dedicated and launched and is now providing the Gilutongan Island community with fresh water from the mainland via boats.
