Board of General Superintendents Invites Support for Upcoming Thank Offering

by | Oct 29, 2015

Global Ministry Center: Nazarenes around the world are joining together for the 2015 Thanksgiving, or “Thank Offering” for the World Evangelism Fund.  As we remember God’s goodness, we “sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.” (Psalm 107:22). This offering plays a critical role in funding the mission of the Church of the Nazarene, to make Christlike disciples in the nations. With thankfulness and praise, we fulfill this mission together.

Because God works through us, people are hearing the gospel and their basic needs are being met. Whenever we give back to God with our time, prayers, and money, He uses our humble gifts, and we become participants in God’s plans for the future. The future that God has planned is greater than we could imagine. It goes on into eternity as the Holy Spirit works and people around the world join us in worshiping the one, true Savior.

Through language schools, church plants, mission hospitals, and many other ministries, God uses our gifts to do amazing things for His honor and glory. Here are some of the ways God has accomplished His mission through us in the last year:

  • 1,417,397 people gathered every week to worship at Nazarene churches.
  • 27,702 Nazarene clergy led people around the world.
  • 50,998 students globally were enrolled in holiness education at 52 educational institutions.

We are blessed to be a part of His ministry and pray that He will continue to use us as we follow Him. Your gift to the World Evangelism Fund assists Nazarenes in, “Developing the Future” by sharing the hope of Christ.

The Board of General Superintendents
