Nazarene Missions International Purpose—
The purpose of Nazarene Missions International is to help our missionaries fulfill the Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19–20
Nazarene Missions International Mission—
Our mission is to mobilize the church in mission through prayer, education, giving, and interactive experiences.
Our objectives:
- To encourage people to pray for all efforts of world evangelization;
- to inform people of the world's needs and what the church is doing to meet those needs;
- to challenge children and youth to learn about and participate in the mission of the church; and
- to raise funds for mission outreach.
September Monthly Emphasis: 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." Eighty percent of the money 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. The entire offering goes toward the construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers.” Check out their website at www.nazarenemissions.org. Our church will receive the Alabaster Offering on September 27.
