Newsletter, December 20, 2023

Thanks to your faithfulness in bringing Crisis Care Kits to 
District NMI Convention, 150 boxes of (900) CCKs, stored at Maryville Church,
were delivered to Clarksville Church of the Nazarene this past Monday by 
Don Moore  & Doug Hodge for tornado victims on the MidSouth District 

***Don’t miss this blessing***
 Yesterday, I  shared with district NMI council that CCKs had been sent to Clarksville, then got this reply from Rachel Reed, NMI council member/nurse who always loads CCKs  at NMI Convention:

“I volunteer with the Red Cross…and, and they have the Shelter in the Nazarene Church in Clarksville.  I know some nurses over there volunteering, so I sent one of them a little info about our CCK’s and that they were sent over yesterday.  This is her reply, ” We (the nurses) got these at the shelter.  They are amazing!”  Thanks, Rachel, for letting us know our CCKs are already a blessing!

Thanks, also, to Family Food Ministry-Nazarene Compassionate Ministry Center 
at Tullahoma Westside CotN, for feeding 500 in Clarksville last week
 
Thanks be to God that our beloved retired missionary,
Dr.Geneva Silvernail, 
is home from the hospital after double pneumonia.

This month’s Alabaster video, from NMI Central, comes from Nazareth in Israel—Jesus’ hometown. Through decades of internal strife and religious prejudice that often makes the news, the Church of the Nazarene has continued to be present and positive in this ancient city.  To download this month’s video from Nazareth, Israel on the Eurasia region, click
