Children's Mission Project"Raising Goats and Chickens!"

In an effort to fight hunger and poverty, Caribbean churches are creating agricultural projects that provide sustainable, ongoing ways to provide nutrition for children and families. Currently churches in Haiti (the third-hungriest country in the world, behind Somalia and Afghanistan) are answering their country's food crisis through goat projects and community gardens.The goat husbandry project currently provides nutrition for school feeding programs and families in need in each of the country's 11 districts. The goal of NCM Haiti is to expand this project to more local churches throughout the country. Raising animals is a lasting and sustainable solution in helping families end hunger. It provides things like butter, cheese, milk and eggs both for use and to sell.$100 will provide a goat and chickens, along with training on how to care for them. This is a 10% giving project (#ACM1861). Funds for the children's project should be sent to the District NMI Treasurer (see page NMI-14, #2).

Get Involved With LINKS• Write your LINKS missionaries and assure them of your prayers, asking for

personal requests.• Send remembrances for special days like birthdays, anniversaries, and

holidays. Remember, surface mail takes quite a while to arrive in some locations, so plan accordingly.

• Children and youth find it especially meaningful to become personally acquainted with a missionary or a missionary's child. Encourage young people to send cards, small gifts, pictures, videos, and audio materials to your church's LINKS missionaries.

• Check the Unofficial LINKS Lists. Have your LINKS missionaries posted specific needs for their field with which you can help?

• See if your LINKS missionary can use Skype or Facetime and have a church chat.

Alabaster OfferingsThe Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots." Alabaster funds help provide land for many Work & Witness projects, and the entire Alabaster Offering goes toward the purchase of land and construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers.

The Alabaster Offering gets to the mission field via several avenues. The most widely used is the Alabaster Box. Individuals are challenged to regularly contribute the cost of items they desire but do not need. The boxes also serve as reminders to pray for those people who will benefit from Alabaster buildings. In September and February, the money is collected. Many churches receive regular offerings throughout the year that are designated as Alabaster funds. (This is often a part of the Faith Promise plan for missions giving.) However, the semi-annual offerings in September and February are tradition in the Church of the Nazarene.

Brenda K. Gould - Africa (Retired)

Address:310 Jericho Rd, Apt. 368Pickerington, OH 43147

Email:[email protected]

Phone:614-440-0833

Birthday: 2/12

Responsibilities: Brenda did many things on the field, some were her responsibility and others were simply necessary. She has been a teacher, treasurer, director, trainer, translator, and after retiring, a chaplain. She has always taken on what God needed.

Get to Know Brenda: Brenda does not remember a time when she didn’t want to be a missionary. A couple months after her 13th birthday, she accepted Christ as her personal Savior. A call to serve is a call to prepare, so after high school she attended Trevecca Nazarene College where she studied to be an elementary teacher, skills she used teaching at Groveport Elementary School. She studied at NTS completing her Masters in Religious Education.Her first missionary assignment was to Haiti. While the language was Creole, the teaching and textbooks were in French requiring a couple years of language training. After Brenda’s first furlough, she had an opporunity to be part of the first team into Martinique. After a couple tours in Martinique, she returned home to care for her father. After God took that responsibility from her, He opened a door for her in Cote d’Ivoire West Africa. She remained there until her retirement.Brenda’s primary hobbies are reading and traveling when possible.Prayer Requests:• The salvation of her relatives and ministering to those who need to know Christ• Her health and God helping her to show His love to others• That with God’s help, she will not miss an opportunity to share the gospel with those

around her.

Responsibilities: Stephen is the NMI and Mobilization Coordinator, working with local NMI presidents and individuals with a call to missions.

They host a variety of teams including construction, medical, music, pastoral, and children’s programs.Get to Know the Soto Family: A native of the Dominican Republic, Eliezel surrendered his life to God at the age of 13, asking God to use what little he had to His glory.

While their neighborhood is not large, their neighbors represent at least 13 countries. Teams that come to Panama will see Eliezel, however, Tammy is very involved working behind the scenes for the project and taking care of their family.Prayer Requests:• Their walk with God remains their first priority, their children will grow to love God, and

CCK/School Pal-Pak Building UpdateLast year plans to make improvements to the Logan Conference Center impacted the future of our very successful and cost effective CCK/SPP drives. However, our churches, district, and the other districts that utilize our shipping option have come together. A contract has been signed to build a storage building for the CCK/SPP boxes. Weather permitting it may be ready to store boxes by the time we come together for camp meeting in July.

If you or your church has made a pledge but not yet fulfilled it, please help us out by satisfying the pledge as soon as possible. We are thankful for all of you who have contributed. Any extra funds that come in above the cost of the building will be used to add 'extras' such as electricity.

NMI Scholarship for Missions EducationDo you know a high school or college student who is feeling a call to missions? The South Central Ohio NMI has a scholarship for those who train in the field of missions. Details and application form are available on the South Central Ohio NMI web site

Child SponsorshipNazarene Compassionate Ministries’ child sponsorship program focuses on holistic child development, encouraging children to grow in all areas of their lives: physical, intellectual, emotional, relational, and spiritual. At $30/month child sponsorship gives children the opportunity to:• Grow up healthy. Sponsored children receive supplemental nutrition, hygiene

education, and preventative health care.• Receive an education. A child’s sponsorship assists with school fees, uniforms,

books, supplies, and even transportation. Education gives a child opportunities for a brighter future.

• Gain confidence and social skills. Sponsored children gain confidence as they learn that they are capable and as they learn how to interact with others in a healthy way—equipping children to be agents of change in their communities.

• Develop spiritually. Sponsored children experience Christ-like love through the staff and volunteers at child development centers, and they have the opportunity to learn from the Bible and pray together.

• Build a relationship with a sponsor. Through letters, cards, and photos, sponsored children receive love, encouragement, and support from caring sponsors. This relationship gives children a sense of their value and hope for the future.

To sponsor a child go to: http://cs.ncm.org/ or contact John Karg (see NMI-10).
