Work and Witness 2017

February 26-March 4

The Nazarene World Week of Prayer is an annual event occurring during the week that includes the World Day of Prayer (the first Friday in March). During this week Naz-arenes dedicate themselves to interceding for our church and our world.

They say it takes a village to raise a child and I say it takes a district to raise up leaders. NWIL is

blessed with a large group of teens who have answered God’s call to BE, DO and GO. Some are called

into the mission field as missionaries, doctors, nurses and engineers, while others will fill the demands of

the senior pastor and just as many want to lead in children and youth ministries. We are seeing music min-

isters and those being called to meet the needs brought on by social injustices. Our youth are rise up and

answering God’s call.

Ed Robinson said, “To be called to ministry is to join with God in God’s saving acts in the world. It is

to find out what God is doing and join in the effort.” NWIL teens are aware of the world around them and

they are answering the call to be servant leaders, “desire[ing] to care for others and meet their needs

above his or her own welfare.” (Dillman)

NWIL family will you help us raise up generations after generations of young people who will serve

the Lord? Will you committee to praying for these young people? Will you stand in the gap for them while

they learn what it is to be discipled and then to become a discipler? Will you take the time, effort and re-

sources to help them fulfill the call? They need our prayers and support more than ever.

NWIL auxiliaries want to be a resource of prayer and support as well. Would you help us by making

sure we are aware of children and teens in your local church who have expressed a call into ministry so

that we can provide them with tools and guidance as they fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and

the Great Compassion (Matthew 25).

Nazarene World

Week of Prayer

This past summer at Kids Camp we learned about the Persecuted Church, games from around the world and about how some-times missionaries have to go without things they like. On the Persecuted Church day we played a game where the kids had to avoid government officials to get to a church. The second day we learned about how people in other countries have different types of activi-ties and we played Cricket. On the last day we learned that being a missionary isn’t just going to live somewhere else, seeing cool things and learning fun games. We learned that a lot of times being a missionary can be uncomfortable, going without things that are easy to get in the United States and how sometimes our missionaries get homesick. That day we wrapped gifts and made scrap-books for a few of our missionaries in Paupa New Guinea. At Convention this year our kids will learn about what they can do to be a mission-ary from right here in the United States. Also there will be a workshop that will give some ideas for your children’s mission lessons at your home church. This next year at camp we will have a very special missionary experi-ence that your kids will not want to miss.
