On June 18, 1970 Pastor Duane Riley began his trip to mission outposts all around the globe. He went around the world in a little over a month and returned to the church on July 19, 1970.
Under the leadership of Jim Landrum the youth choir formed a group named the �New Christian Americans�. The N.C.A. performed Christian folk musicals entitled �The Great Plan� and �The Great Life� which they composed from several different musicals including Ralph Carmichael�s �Tell It Like It Is�, Bob Oldenburg�s �Good News� and songs from �For Pete�s Sake�. In January of 1971 they made a record of �The Great Plan� in order to spread God�s message to more people. In June of1971, they got new uniforms for a choir trip they were taking.
