DS Perspective
The mission of NMI is to mobilize the local church.
Nazarenes encourage active participation in giving to Faith Promise, Alabas-ter, and compassion ministries. We bring in mis-sionary speakers and plan for occasional W&W projects. Many also are the local hands and feet for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, fighting against human trafficking, giving care after nat-ural disasters, and welcoming new Americans escaping persecution and oppression elsewhere. If you are doing these things, great. Keep doing them. This is part of our two-way covenant with God in which He blesses us so we are equipped to bless others in these ways (Gen 12:2-3). But, mobilizing is not defined as giving charitably. A mobilized church is one that understands God’s heart is for all peoples, and remembers that Jesus
Are You a Good Neighbor?commanded his disciples to go and make dis-ciples of all nations (Matt 28:19). As we go, we make disciples by loving and being compassionate and charitable. Luckily for us, we don’t necessarily have to go far because we have unreached peoples living in our midst. Unreached people have no active witness amongst them and will remain that way as long as we Christians ignore them. We have been told to love our neighbor as ourselves. We must engage these unfamiliar faces and cultures with genuine love and relationship. When we are obedient we will discover that God has already prepared doors of opportunity waiting to be opened. We need only to trust him and let our love be greater than our fears. How can you be better engaged? How can you be a Good Neighbor? Jaeson Rogers District NMI President
A few weeks ago I was driving down the road, and I was surprised to hear the voice of one of the church members of the church I pastored just a few years ago. I was
equally surprised when he told me that he had been thinking about me that day and he just wanted to call to let me know how much he appreciated my ministry and friendship. As I think about that call today, my heart is still blessed.
I’m sure that you are aware that October is “Pastor’s Appreciation Month” and my hope is that every one of us will find ways to express our love to those who lead us. As Vicki and I ‘church hop’ every Sunday and visit a different church on the Intermountain District, we are struck by the quality of our leaders. We work alongside a great group of pastoral leaders who are serving in incredible ways. Our District pastors are faithfully proclaiming the Word of God and working tirelessly to impact their com-munity for Christ. The work is not easy but they are responding to God’s call and are pouring their lives out in service. We are constantly blessed by the ministry we see flowing through the lives of lead pastors and associates who are filled with the joy of the Lord.
This month, don’t miss your opportunity to say ‘thank you’. Take your pastor and their family out for a meal. Send them a special card. Give them a special offering. Find a way to honor them for the ways that their life is making a difference. Be generous with your love and praise. I’m of the belief that God has a way of blessing those individuals and churches that give attention to blessing their pastors. I’ll be looking forward to hearing the stories of how God has been at work, through you, to encourage our leaders. May we all have strength for the journey and wisdom for the task. ~ Scott Shaw

Fall Retreat
November 15-17, 2019 at Living Waters Ranch Challis, ID
Rest. Everyone needs it, many say they want it, but few seem to take it.Rest. It’s what some say they will do when they are dead.Rest. Our busy lives are so crammed full of this and that we just don’t have the time to take it.Rest. It’s the first thing our God modeled to us, not because He needed it, but because we did.God knew we would need time to let go, rest, and be conscious of Him and what He has done. He also knew that we would resist the idea. Now, with our hectic lives and constant connectivity to the outside world, we and our youth are constantly plugged in and burning out. This is why we are asking you and your youth to RESTORE your connection with God by unplugging, unpacking, and unburdening your lives for a single week-end in Challis, ID where we will have a time of worship, praise, and rest led by Dustin & Olivia Metcalf and NNU’s Covenant. Welcome to the RESTORE Fall Youth Retreat.
