Faith Promise
As part of our overall support for missions, GCN provides a Faith Promise to provide financial support for world evangelization through support of the World Evangelism Fund.
How will your World Mission/Faith Promise pledge be used?
- For the support of Nazarene missionaries and other personnel in 150+ world areas through the World Evangelism Fund;
- To fund everything from postage for boxed donations of clothing and crisis care kits to radio spots that spread the gospel to areas unreachable by other means;
- To provide seed funds for our Honduras mission;
- To provide some start up funds for a mission trip to Appalachia this summer;
- To provide seed money for future Work and Witness trips including a trip we’re considering to Jamaica in 2011;
- To help provide funds for local compassionate ministry and outreach efforts including efforts like our ministry at Stewarttown, a Good Samaritan Fund that helps people in the community with food, and more!
The mission work in the Nazarene church depends entirely on giving above and beyond our tithes and offerings. Our goal for fiscal year 2010 is to raise $85,000. (Note: Our fiscal year begins March 1.)
