The Church of the Nazarene worldwide believes in the value of missions. We here at Bend Nazarene agree. We want to reach the world with the Message of Jesus Christ. Here are a few ways that you can get involved:
To support the World Evangelism Fund and local missions at Bend Church of the Nazarene, we support Faith Promise giving.
Our church sends short-term teams to work on projects in the United States as well as around the world. A team went to Belize in March of 2009 where they worked on an elementary school.
Our high school students went to "Hawaii- The Other Side of Paradise" in July 2008.
The Sun Valley Indian School is located in Holbrook, Arizona. It is a boarding school for Native Americans and has been educating children for 45 years. We help here at our church by saving Campbell Soup Labels for them. They have used labels saved from all over North America to buy 17 passenger vans, computers and athletic equipment. If you are interested in helping, save the UPC code and Labels for Education Logo from approved products. For a list of these and more information about the school, go to their web sight: www.indianschool.org
These "love gifts" are transformed into buildings and property sites around the world. Alabaster boxes are available at the missions bookcase for you to use. Alabaster offerings are received in September and February.
Mark Louw, missionary to Africa, was our guest May 30th and 31st.
