Engaging in Men’s Ministries

For many years, my home church has engaged in men’s ministries. A core group of 10 to 20 men meet early on Fridays for food, fellowship, and fervent prayer.

God Is Really Moving in the Realm of Disability Ministry!

It has been a blessing to see the doors that have opened and the people who have come together to help make this ministry a reality. I thought it would be helpful to provide some updates about the ministry and ways that you can be involved. At this stage, I have a direct contact for Disability Ministry with just over half of our districts on the USA/Canada Region. Praise God for a great response from district leadership!

Engaging in Authentic Relationships

Our core principles in the new NDI Bylaws remind us that, as Jesus’ disciples, we are called to journey together as members of the Body of Christ in the same way that Jesus gathered travelling companions around himself.

Donna’s Story

Donna has been visually impaired for most of her life. She was able to drive in her early days as a Bethany Nazarene College student, but she was unable to drive when she graduated. Donna found that she was no longer able to read books as she loved to do, but instead she had to get used to audio books.

Nazarene Camping

Camps for Nazarene children and youth are great places for our young people to become Christlike disciples! I committed my life to Christ in a boys and girls camp in eastern Michigan at the age of 10 and then was further discipled as a teen in camps, so Nazarene camps have a special place in my life and ministry. The Nazarene Camping Association provides prayer support and networking among camp, retreat, and conference centers within the Church of the Nazarene.
