“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that
you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
For more than 100 years, the Church of the Nazarene has been on a mission to share the hope of Jesus Christ with our world. This mission is still alive and thriving in this season of hope. You play a vital role in this mission every time you pray and support your local church and World Evangelism efforts. Foremost, during this time of uncertainty, please make sure you are taking care of each other and supporting your local church.
There have been many who have asked about offering resources and how they can offer their gifts to the continuing global efforts of World Evangelism during this time. We are deeply humbled by these considerations of generosity in the midst of such a widespread crisis.
From the links below you will find downloadable offering materials and you are able to donate directly to the World Evangelism Fund. Your gift to World Evangelism brings the message of Christ’s transformational love across the street and around the globe. Thank you for your generosity. You are deeply loved.
