Missions

TNC mobilizes the local church in missions through prayer, education, giving, and interactive experiences.
The Cross - Seize it! Share it!

Prayer

The local Nazarene Missions International (NMI) council encourages you to pray for NMI interactive experiences such as Work & Witness and Youth Missions Events that involve you, the people. We also encourage you to pray for regional and world-wide events. See the Interactive Experiences section below.

Giving

District NMI Giving Emphasis

Find out more about this month’s District NMI giving emphasis in the Desert NMI Data newsletter (see above).

Alabaster Offering

The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. It gives a sense of permanence, the attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to “put down roots”. The entire offering goes toward the construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers. Eighty percent is used in world mission areas, and twenty percent goes to multicultural congregations in the United States and Canada. Alabaster funds help provide land for most Work & Witness projects.

Interactive Experiences

Work & Witness

Work & Witness - Building God's Kingdom by Personal InvolvementOur church is heavily involved in Work & Witness through donations and volunteer laborers. There are many W&W trips throughout the year that can involve those from teenagers on up.

No particular skills are necessary, just your willingness to help others. Prayerfully consider what part God would have you take.

See the Work & Witness web site.

House of James

Missionary to the Ukraine, Sean Johnson, spoke to us about the work there. “Many homeless children in the Ukraine are in need of your help. At the ‘House of James’ their mission is to provide shelter, food, clothes, education, a warm bed and a message of hope and love through the gospel of GOD.”

See the House of James web site.

The Fiji Boat & Jesus Film Projects

Rev. Harmon and Cindy Schmelzenbach have served since 2000 as fourth generation Nazarene missionaries. Based in Fiji, they coordinate both the JESUS Film and FIJIBoat Projects for the South Pacific Field Church of the Nazarene. They send an email newsletter about their work in Fiji.

You can find a copy on our bulletin board or at the Fiji Boat Project web site.
