NMI 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
To raise funds for missions outreach•Nazarene
Missions International focuses on five strategic areas where the local
church can have maximum impact on missions in the Church of the
Nazarene:
The first is prayer.
NMI gathers believers together for prayer in the local church, linking
us to our brothers and sisters in Christ across the globe.
The second is the World Evangelism Fund,
which fuels the Church of the Nazarene’s mission by combining gifts
from each person and church to fund ministries everywhere.
Through the Alabaster Offering, the third emphasis, ministries around the world receive funds to purchase property and buildings.
The fourth is to engage children and youth through education and fostering calls to missions.
Links,
the last area of emphasis, strategically connects Nazarene missionaries
and Nazarene churches through prayer, personal contact, and generous
giving.
