| Prayer is talking and listening
to God. It is sharing our thoughts, questions, fears, desires – opening
our lives to God, holding nothing back. It is telling God our admiration
for who He is, and contemplating His qualities. It is listening while He
talks to us, providing comfort, peace, guidance, and direction requiring
our worshipful obedience.
NMI gathers believers for
prayer in the local church, linking us to our brothers and sisters across
the globe. |
“Go and make disciples”
were Jesus’ parting words as he sent his friends to join his mission in
drawing all people to Him.
We understand His words as
a mandate for believers to form deep friendships through which we help
each other grow in Christlikeness. NMI is committed to discipling new generations
in their faith journey. Discipling, of course, includes teaching developing
young leaders about Christ’s global mission, and nurturing their mission
passion. |
Just as the earliest Christians
“pooled their resources so that each person's need was met,” (Acts 2:45,
The Message) believers today eagerly share what they have to bring new
members into God’s family.
In 155 world areas, Nazarenes’
passion for mission compels them to give in all kinds of ways: volunteering
time, praying for all people to know Christ, generously sharing resources,
and passing on the stories of the church, to name just a few. |
Nazarenes everywhere are
sharing the mission stories of the church. Telling the story instills passion
for mission. When Christ’s followers know what is at stake and hear how
others are obeying God’s call to mission, they are challenged to participate
as well.
NMI is committed to helping
local churches tell the mission story. We provide resources and support
for the local church as it informs and educates its members, not only in
what other Nazarenes are doing in mission, but how they can get involved,
too. |
