Missions Sunday - April 28, 2024
Cindy and Rob North. Missionaries for the Church of the Nazarene in Australia.
On Sunday, April 28, 2024, we will celebrate what the Church of the Nazarene, through God's grace, is accomplishing around the world. We will also give you an opportunity to join with the church in supporting missions by filling out a Faith Promise commitment card (at Trinity or on the Missions Offering page of our website). Faith Promise allows you to give systematically each month, each week, or in a lump sum, whatever works best for you. Faith Promise is vital to the Church of the Nazarene to support missions in a variety of ways. By giving to missions, you'll be joining Nazarenes in 23,000 churches in 163 countries around the world in supporting global and local ministries. Nazarenes are passionate about making a difference in the world by taking the good news of Jesus Christ to people everywhere.
Our special speakers are Rob and Cindy North. Our members who went to Africa with the district Work & Witness team in 2020 first met Rob and Cindy at Africa Nazarene University, where Cindy served as Chaplain and Rob was Director of University Advancement. Rob worked closely with our team, and we came to love him and Cindy.
However, their assignment has changed in a big way. As of the first of this year the Norths are serving as missionaries in Australia! For over fifty years the Church of the Nazarene has directly engaged in missions to First Nations people, including sending missionaries into the remotest corners of the Australian outback to serve and minister in otherwise forgotten communities. Cindy and Rob are joining this ministry venture for the Australia/New Zealand Field. In addition, Rob is working with Asia Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary as their Director Of Development. On April 28, we will be receiving an offering for Rob and Cindy's work as well as your Faith Promise Commitments.

5. Care & Connection: This area, which combines Links, Work & Witness, and other ministries, strategically connects Nazarene missionaries and Nazarene churches through prayer, personal contact, and generous giving.

Alabaster Offering - 75th Anniversary
Throughout the history of the Church of the Nazarene, we have carried on the legacy to value both those who are called to “go” and those who are called to “stay and support” the work of Nazarene missions. From June 2023 to June 2024 the Church of the Nazarene is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Alabaster: laying foundations for people to worship, heal, and learn. Every Nazarene, regardless of their age, place, or situation, may experience the joy of giving to Alabaster. Give in our special offerings, or at any time. If you give online, choose the sub-fund Alabaster under Missions.
