The Church of the Nazarene announced the following retiring missionaries during the 102nd session of the General Board 27-30 September, which was held in Overland Park, Kansas.
Members of the Board of General Superintendents and the General Board congratulated the retiring missionaries on 29 September in an evening service. In addition, Global Missions has worked with the missionaries’ home churches to coordinate an in-person celebration, including the presentation of a sculpture as a token of the denomination’s thanks.
Global Missions, under the direction of Jim Ritchie, would like to express its deep love and appreciation to the missionaries for their many years of selfless dedication to God, the church, and those whose lives have been impacted by their ministry.
As individuals, they have given a combined 232 years of service to God through the Church of the Nazarene.
