Nazarene Missions International:

AREAS of IMPACT

Nazarene Missions International (NMI) focuses on five strategic areas where the local church can have maximum impact on missions in the Church of the Nazarene.

NMI gathers believers together for prayer in the local church, linking us to our brothers and sisters in Christ across the globe.
The World Evangelism Fund combines gifts from each person and church to fund ministries everywhere, thereby fueling the Church of the Nazarene’s mission.
Through the Alabaster Offering, ministries around the world receive funs to purchase property and buildings.
We want to engage children and youth by encouraging churches to involve them in all missions endeavors, and to nurture them as they seek to respond to God’s call.
LINKS strategically connects Nazarene missionaries and Nazarene churches through prayer, personal contact, and generous giving.
