NMI Central Missionary Lessons with Alabaster Emphasis
Each Wednesday, NMI Central, with a missionary lesson, emphasizing a different country, comes to subscribers.  

To subscribe: NMI Central | Church of the Nazarene    Today’s NMI Central was a wonderful surprise!  KENYA  was the country of emphasis!  

E TN churches raised $29,103 for Africa Nazarene University in Kenya in 2019, but W&W team from E TN has been cancelled and re-scheduled repeatedly due to covid.  
Our March dates have been rescheduled to August 15-31;  we received the OFFICIAL  invitation to register our team TODAY from ANU!
Missionary Rob North, from Africa Nazarene University, will be our 2022 NMI Convention speaker!

ATTACHED:  
I’ve attached two Alabaster stories, both of which you’ve already heard me tell at conventions.  Both of the are very personal and unique to our district. 

Here’s a link to a (rather long) video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exofe3Ok62s
about the Bible Seminary  in Coban, Gutaemala, the first every Alabaster building where our district has been heavily involved through W&W.
