"This site is such a valuable resource for me as missions president of my church."

Boosting missions: Nazarene Missions International is the local-church-based global mobilization and promotional arm of the Church of the Nazarene. NMI is a grass-roots missions committee structure that summons church members to intercessory prayer, to sacrificial giving, to involving children and youth, and to sending.
NMI is a mobilization organization. Though it promotes the global vision plan of the Church of the Nazarene, NMI does not administer Nazarene world evangelism efforts.

    "What will it take for Nazarene Missions International to be effective in the 21st Century?"

    Nina Gunter says we must:
    1. Re-visit the Biblical basis for our mission
    2. Reflect deeply on the nature and heart of God
    3. Re-examine God's purpose for the Church
    4. Discover God's purpose and will for us as individuals
    5. Re-evaluate our methods
    6. Consciously and purposefully involve the next generation
    7. Determine to be mission-minded and mission-hearted

    THE IMPORTANCE OF NAAMAN'S BATH IN RIVER JORDAN-

    Today's Scripture 2 Kings 5:9–14 (NIV) Insight The Jordan River, where Naaman was told to “wash [himself] seven times” ( 2 Kings 5:10 ), was the primary source of water in the ancient Near East and is the most well-known river in the Bible. The melting snow of Mt. Hermon in the north is the main water source for the river that winds for 156 miles through the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea and has no outlet.  Joshua 3  records the parting of the waters of the Jordan so the Israelites could enter the land of Promise. Twice the waters of the river were parted in  2 Kings 2  when they were struck with the cloak of Elijah (vv. 8, 14). In the New Testament, John the Baptist baptized believers in Jesus and even Christ Himself in the Jordan ( Matthew 3:6 ,  13–17 ). SOURCE: OUR DAILY BREAD WHY DID NAAMAN HAD  TO DIP 7 TIMES It was probably a humbling act for a great commander, but  Naaman dipped  himself  seven times  ...

    DISCOVER-SEEKERS AND SKEPTICS FAQ AND WHAT IS ABOUT ALLABOUTGOD?

    Seekers & Skeptics FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Answered! Does God Really Exist? Get With the Times! Doesn't the Big Bang and Evolutionary Theory Explain Everything? Hasn't Science Removed the Need for God? Ok, if a Designer created everything, who created the Designer? What existed before the creation of the universe? Why did God create such a big universe, if all that matters is right here on earth? Why did God create in the first place? Was He bored? Was He lonely? Why did God go through the trouble of making humans? Why did God create evil? If God planned everything, why did He plan for really bad things to happen? OK, now you're using the Bible to tell me about God. Why should I trust that book as being something special? That's a pretty good approach to the Bible's overall credibility, but what about the established myths and legends? For instance, if the earth is less than 10,000 years old (as the Bible tells us), what about the star light th...
