Barnesville Nazarene Church

We met our Alabaster Offering goal!

NAZARENE MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL (NMI) 

We met our Crisis Care Kits goal! These kits go to help those in need of assistance in crisis areas around the globe. Thank you for your dedication!

OUR MISSION

To mobilize the church in mission through prayer, education, giving, and interactive experiences.

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 mission outreach.

ALABASTER

What is it? Think of it a a "building in a box" all of the money raised goes to the missionaries (100%). When you put your "change" in the alabaster box you are in effect building a church! See your NMI President for YOUR alabaster box. Wednesday night offerings go to our missionaries too.

 

ALABASTER FUNDS ARE NEEDED... in Africa. The Church of the Nazarene is growing so rapidly that the region is having difficulty constructing churches fast enough to accommodate new churches. In Fiji. Organized boot camp training is preparing new pastors for ministry because churches were springing up so fast. Buildings will be needed. In the Middle East. The internet is opening doors for World Mission Broadcast to be broadcast into sensative areas. Alabaster funds will construct buildings when some of these areas allow entry. In Guatemala. Greenhouse tents are being used for temporary chapels until funds can be used to contruct buildings.

EASTER OFFERING

What does it do? It goes to World Evangelism!
