Missions

 

 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son"... is our Christmas Mission Statement! What will you give to Missions this Christmas? There are a lot of people in need. Give and see what happens!

Pay It Forward!

 Reaching out to OTHERS is what we are all about at First Church. The Faith Promise goal of $30,000 is money that we send to World Missions. Every penny goes to the Mission field around the World. We are in 153 countries around the world. Our motto is "Together We Can Change The World".

The Church of the Nazarene is at work in 30 of the 65 nations in the 10/40 Window. Nearly 4 billion people live here, including 90 percent of the world’s poorest of the poor.

* It is estimated that 1.6 billion of these people have never had the chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ - not even once!
* The seat of every major non-Christian religion - Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Animism, Atheism, and Sikhism - is headquartered in the 10/40 Window.
* In many of the 67 countries represented in the 10/40 Window, witnessing the Christian Gospel means death.
43 of the 50 worst countries in the world for persecution of Christians are here.
* Five pennies out of every $100 spent on missions goes to this desperately needy area of the world.
* Illiteracy is widespread.
* Terrorist organizations and child prostitution run rampant in many of these nations.
* Horrific abuse of women and children remains unchecked.

NAZARENE WORLD MISSIONS

"To make Christlike disciples in the nations"

is the seven-word statement of mission for our 1.8 million member denomination.

This mission is built on the Church of the Nazarene’s core values of being Christian, holiness, and missional.

While the primary motive of the church is to glorify God, the Board believes the church is also called to actively participate in His mission of reconciling the world to himself.

“The seven words in the statement of mission embody the historical essentials of Nazarene mission—evangelism, sanctification, discipleship, compassion, and equipping all who respond in faith,” noted Dr. Jerry Porter, general superintendent. “The essence of holiness is Christlikeness.”

“The Church of the Nazarene is blessed with some of the most dedicated disciples of any denomination. Our goal is to build on this strength,” Dr. Porter emphasized.

Dr. Jesse Middendorf, general superintendent, added, “We’re also moving from a ‘sending’ to a ‘sent’ church. The responsibility is to be a witness, helping make Christlike disciples, in whatever nation we happen to be. And missionaries are now sent from all regions of the world.”
