Missionary Health Care

Missionary Health Care helps pay for the medical insurance of Nazarene missionaries.

The Memorial Roll, established in 1919, is a way to honor deceased friends and loved ones. A certificate is issued in the name of the person memorialized and is often presented to a family member or displayed in the church. Churches or individuals may place as many names on the Memorial Roll as they desire, and those memorialized need not be members of the church.

To place a name on the Memorial Roll, obtain a Memorial Roll Order Form from your local NMI president (Order forms are included in the District NMI Convention packet each local church receives annually.) Fill in the order form, and send it and a check for $50 to General Treasurer.

NEW!—Children's Memorial Roll

The newest facet of NMI Missionary Health Care is the Children's Memorial Roll (MR). Intended to honor deceased children up to age 18, the Children's MR is designed to be displayed in a nursery, living room, or hallway. The Children’s MR certificate features bright colors and depicts children of diverse ages and ethnicities in the arms of Jesus.

The Children's Memorial Roll is a great way to honor deceased children and contribute to NMI Missionary Health Care, which provides health insurance for Nazarene missionaries and their families.

Churches are encouraged to frame the Children's MR. The certificates fit into an 8"x10" standard-sized frame.

The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is a tribute to church people who are living and for their service to the church. Although the DSA is given through NMI it need not be given in the area of missions. A church may wish to honor anyone in the church for their efforts. Note: The DSA may only be given by a church or a group within the church. Individuals may not give this award.

To order a DSA, fill in a DSA Order Form (from the District NMI Convention packet), giving special attention to the three-line "tribute" explaining the reason for the award. Send the form and a check for $100 to the General Treasurer. Note: A DSA may be awarded to a couple as long as only one tribute message is submitted.

Through plate offerings or Faith Promise giving, the whole church helps provide for the medical needs of Nazarene missionaries. Every church is encouraged to support Missionary Health Care annually.

Provide health care for missionaries by honoring/memorializing friends and loved ones. Donate to Missionary Health Care for anniversaries, birthdays, new arrivals, retirements, in lieu of flowers, or "just because." You determine the donation. An attractive card announces your gift in honor of the occasion.

A display rack and a set each of "In Honor" and "In Memory" cards should be displayed in each church. Or see your local NMI president.
