Crisis Care Kits/ Monetary Gifts for California Fire Victims through the Church: 

 It will be cost prohibitive  for ETN NMI to collect Crisis Care Kits from across the district, transport them to the Maryland Warehouse, then have them transported all the way to California.  Our churches would have to send $16 per box to the Global Treasurer for shipping from the warehouse.  It would be far more effective for churches wanting to help California fire victims to send an offering to GTS through Funding the Mission. 

CHURCH TREASURERS:  We do have a fund available through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries that you can find on the Funding the Mission website.   When you go through the giving tree, click on the Giftbox icon, then click on “GTS Contribution” and then in the drop down menu you can select “Search for Additional Project” and search for the word “Fire” and you will see the results in the picture below.  You can then click on “Los Angeles Wildfire Response” and send the funds!
